| Notes |
- The following was written by John David Grinstead (1929-2019) in a letter to the author/site administrator in 1999.
ARTHER McDONALD GRINSTEAD "Don" was born 10/6/1907 in Riverside, Virginia. He married Helen Peacock 9/14/1929 in North Carolina. They had three children: Kenneth Charles (died), Arther McDonald Jr. ( Mack ) and Betty Carol. I stayed with Don's family some while in the Marion area in 1947/8. Every Friday night Don would bring home hot dogs, buns and pop so even when I wasn't staying there I would often show up at his place on Friday afternoons. Don was a car salesman in Marion. I never got to know his family very well. He and his family always held prayer meetings on Wednesday nights with a lot of praying and gospel singing. It was also a good place to meet girls so I normally tried to show up for that activity. Don died 10/13/1949 at the age of 42. I think he is buried in the Marion area.
