Susan (Suda) Ellen Walker Grant Heatherly was born on 15 November 1879 in Claiborne County and died in Knoxville on 22 July 1941. She is buried at the Bookwalter United Methodist Church Cemetery. She married James Rufus Grant (Jim) on 12 August 1897. James Rufus was "borned" 2 March 1872 in Liberty Hill, died of pneumonia on 26 December 1902 in Celina, Texas and is buried at the Crossroads Cemetery in Collin County, Texas. He was known for his singing schools. James, Suda, and their three children Jerusa Edith, Ethan Conrad, and Carl William Grant moved to Celina, Texas along with Annie Walker Phipps and her husband Houston between 1900 and 1902. Suda and the children moved back to East Tennessee after James's death. The children lived for several years with their maternal grandparents, Rev. John Davis and Margaret Ann Houston Walker, at Big Springs in Union County and their mother worked at a mill in Knoxville. She remarried to George Melvin Heatherly on 8 October 1910 in Union County, Tennessee. Her parents were the Reverend John Davis Walker and Margaret Ann Houston. A relative told me that Suda had breast cancer first, and then died of stomach cancer. Suda was "very kind, very gentle" and "If she liked you she would do anything for you. If she didn't like you she wouldn't have anything to do with you." Uncle Ethan Grant said his momma Suda "didn't talk very much." And that she used to play the accordion.
