She was the widow of Lee A. GRIGGS and the mother of Ruby born abt 1912. I do not know if she or Lee had been previously married to others or if either had other children. I think her maiden name was ENGLISH and that she was Rebecca Jane, oldest child of Joseph ENGLISH and Rebecca [WILSON] who lived and died in Benton Co AR. Joseph ENGLISH's obituary Sep 1925 said he was survived by a son Oliver ENGLISH and a "daughter, Mrs Lee Griggs of Joplin" .

Hi Sandi I am sorry but I do not remember anyone named Catherine. I didn't move to Carthage until 1948 and I was an infant then. Do you have any idea of her last name and possibly what restaurant? My grandmother, brother, uncle and I lived there until 1959 at which time my grandmother and I moved to OK. We came back every chance we got and I still go visit now as often as I can. If you could give me a little more info on Catherine I will ask my uncle who might remember something. It never hurts to ask. I live in Georgia now so I don't get home as often as I would like. But I do enjoy going. My folks are in the Joplin/Neosho area now, but I still like to roam the area. Let me know. Carole

Thanks so much, Carole, I'm actually leaving for the Joplin area tomorrow. I'm in CA now, but I'm going to Lamar to pick up my Dad and move him out here with me and my kids. I was also an infant at that time....but her name was Catherine Brown and she married an Alexander and then in 1948 a Bray. I do know she had a mother, brother and sister in Cairo IL area. We are interested in knowing if anyone knows her and if she has any relatives in the area that might have a picture of her, which is what we are looking for. She gave 3 children up for adoption in the short span of a year, and I was one of those children. I am not wanting to meet her if she is still living. I would like to find out if she gave up any more children, or if anyone has health information for us, and perhaps pictures of our ancestors. That's all we are interested in. We'd like to meet our father, though. His name is Edward Alexander. Thanks so much for your help.

There was a Carico that used to be in Stone county and a Rico that was in Morgan county. Rico was a PO in 1895. I see no Puerto Rico in MO I think only TX has a Puerto Rico.

Thanks for writing but in answer to your question , I don't think so. Unless by a very slim chance she was of Cherokee decent as my mother's real mother was and Moillie Britton was her step mother , not sure but remors are mom's real moms name was Mary Elizabeth (Roundtree) . Mother family called themselves Black Dutch her real mother was Cherokee and her Dad was Swedish .Thanks again for writing every little bit at this point helps. Have a n ice day.

Hi Charlene , it seems I was wrong on the date of death for him . He was born 1856 Kalamozoo , Michgain. and he died April 20, 1916 Vineyard twn, Jasper CO., MO. He and Mollie were both buried in Web City , and possible a 3yrs old daughter , I am thinking it was a bad year as Mollie expired April 2, 1916 and Charles Russel Walker expired April 20, 1916 , plus a 3yrs old named Nora Jane expired same as Mollie April 2 1916 . Thank for writing surely appreciate it and appreciate anything you find on them . Shirley Charlene <[email protected]> wrote: Do you know the date Mr. Walker died - April ??, 1926.
