This gallery traces the Grigsby family history from 1872 through family photos and information gathered together by William (Bill) Redman Grigsby for his Grandsons, Ryan and Jack. Photographs were cleaned up by Murry Grigsby, Bill's brother. Most of the photos came from Mom and Dad as did life itself. Other photographs were generously contributed by Phyllis and Martin Jones, Janie Root Eddy, Kathleen Staten Thompson, Donald Grigsby, Bud Miers, Terry Miers, Holly Kottenstette Fritz, Jim Miers, Norman Spring, Connie Hester, Lynnette Herring Fleming, Verna Mae Bechtel Staten, Rebecca Rombach Copple, Mrs. Emerson Carey II and Kiki Tomson. We hope you enjoy seeing and reading a small bit of the Grigsby history.
1890 George Bechtel, AmyTroth and Amy's older sister: George Benton McClelland Bechtel (1873-1947). The young woman is Amy Irene Troth, George's first wife (the woman we called Grandma Bechtel was George's second wife). Amy was born 1871 and died 1904. Amy gave birth to Verna Mae Bechtel in 1893 somewhere in Missouri. The Bechtels lived close to the Statens around Killwinning, Missouri until George moved to Kansas and Verna Mae and Chalmer Staten followed in about December 1924 -- Mom would have been about 12.
