Notes
a. Note:   Oddia Augusta Young was born on August 7, 1892. She was the daugther of Augusta Dechaumes and George Van Young. Augusta Dechaumes (her mother) was daughter of Francois Desire Dechaumes and Rosalie Pillot, prominent early Houston families of great wealth. She married Cornelius Owen Griffin on January 12, 1914 and had eight children. She endured an alcoholic husband and The Great Depression and being homeless and sacrificed everything including food for her children. She fell ill in 1936 and was taken to the State Hospital in Arkansas where she remained until her death. My great aunt Odessa remembers her mother as a beautiful woman, a good cook (her favorite was her mother's Chicken -n-dumplings) and that she had a pretty voice and liked to sing "Onward Christian Soldiers".
