| NOTE: The oral history that I have on Grady, the way my dad tells it is, he disappeared around the age of 20, and was never heard of again. My grandfather DeWitt was at home with his parents, when Grady was getting ready to go out for a Saturday evening, he was trying to barrow money from every one in the house that evening, and no one knew why. He left with $3.00 in his pocket, which was borrowed money. The speculation is that he was a gambler and had a gambling debt that was not paid, and someone killed him for it.
