I don't know the names. My grandma told us the stories when we were young, and she
and my mother have both passed away. I only wish I could remember more of the stories
that she told. All I know for sure is that Harry (Ray) and Myrtle were born Grimes. When
George Grimes and Minnie (nee Cloke) Grimes divorced, the two of them were given to the
Cross family because Minnie could not support all the children. I think Harry (Ray) was
born about 1912 in Canton, Oklahoma. As were all the children. I also remember something
about my grandma Mary (nee Grimes) Cronister giving one of her children to the Cross
family. I have been told that the child's name was Barbara and I think she was born
between 1938 and 1945. I believe they moved out West to California??. Please let me know
if any of this sounds familiar. You can e-mail me directly if you would like. Thanks for
any information and help you may provide.
