Generation: 1

  1. 1.  William Edward "Red" Griffith was born on 11 May 1912 in Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio; died on 25 Jan 1983 in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida.

    Notes:

    William Billig emailed Tom Strong in April 2005 a story told by his Aunt Florence concerning her wedding. Apparently, Uncle Red's sister, Mary Louise was a true prankster. She quilted Red's pajamas so they couldn't be worn and made sure that rice was in and over everything where they spent their wedding night.

    Grandma Mable Laverne tended to rule the roost, so Grandpa's name was Griffith while my Uncle Red (William) was the boss and had his listed as Griffiths. The boys still prefer Griffiths and I believe tend to use it. I really should change it to Griffith since that is how it is spelled legally.
