| Notes |
- The following was written by John David Grinstead (1929-2019) in a letter to the author/site administrator in 1999.
MARY ANN GRINSTEAD was born 9/22/1901 in Riverside, Virginia. She married Clarence Ray Sturgill 6/27/1925 in Bristol Virginia-Tennessee. They had five children: Twyleene Holmes, Clarence Ray Jr. ( C.R. ), Charles Edward (Whitey), Glenna Mae and Billy Mitchel. Billy died just short of his 5th birthday. I stayed with Mary and family when I took the bus to Marion, Virginia in the spring of 1947. Mary was one lovely person. She had to be as she put up with me for about five of the eighteen months I lived in the Marion, Virginia area. Mary's son Whitey and I were pretty close friends. We did a lot of coon hunting, moonshine drinking and girl chasing during those eighteen months. Mary normally just said " well" in her southern drawl when you told her something. She told Nita that she loved to hear her talk with her accent. ha! of course we thought Mary had the accent. When I got a wart on my finger while staying at Marys she gave me a dishcloth to take out in the back yard and bury to get rid of the wart. It didn't work. Mary's children are all very nice people and I got to know them well. Mary died 3/16/1977 and was buried in Marion
