On 6 June 2000, I received a photo from Mable Blair of Ella with herparents, Mattie and Dave, sisters Rose, Jean, Ozell, and her brotherLeroy. Frencella, Mable and I tried to identify each of the children. We don't believe the youngest son, Charles (Precious), was born atthe time. The photo was taken around 1932 in Southeast MO, possiblyKennet, MO, where the Griffin's lived.
