Susie went off and left my grandfather on the kitchen floor and took her
daughter. This was while Curtis was quite small, I believe the family story
goes at less then 5. Supposedly he was raised by an aunt, but I see in the
census that his grandmother lived at least for a while with M.Filmore and
Curtis.
I'm not sure if I got all of her marriages. I have not been able to find
divorce records. Some of those were missing because of fire in Guthrie
Courthouse.
