Faye,
Newton Burks was the father of Hugh Burks (my step grandfather). You
mentioned having a picture of one of the Grisso Brothers. I think that
would be one of the brothers of Harriett (mother of Hugh Burks). Would it
be possible to send that picture to me? I would REALLY appreciate it.
The Grisso Boy you mentioned who went to Medical School, is probably the one
I have heard of that my Grandmother Burks referred to as "old Doc. Grisso"
in Seminole, Ok.
Thanks, Carmeletta Eidson
