My grandma told us the stories when we were young, and she and my mother have both passed away. I only wish I could remember more of the stories that she told. All I know for sure is that Harry (Ray) and Myrtle were born Grimes. When George Grimes and Minnie (nee Cloke) Grimes divorced, the two of them were given to the Cross family because Minnie could not support all the children. I think Harry (Ray) was born about 1912 in Canton, Oklahoma. As were all the children. I also remember something about my grandma Mary (nee Grimes) Cronister giving one of her children to the Cross family. I have been told that the child's name was Barbara and I think she was born between 1938 and 1945. I believe they moved out West to California??. Please let me know if any of this sounds familiar. You can e-mail me directly if you would like. Thanks for any information and help you may provide.
