Samuel was a farmer and they had an estate of $750.00 and $300.00 in personal property. On the other side of there farm was at least 5 of Susan's Kite families.
On Sept. 15 1870, Susan gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Matilda. Jun. 1, 1871 was a very sad day for Samuel and Susan, and their siblings. History gives no cause of death for the little one. Her grieving father and mother chose a grave site in the Kite Cemetery for her burial. Her family and their friend gathered around the little coffin of their precious tiny Angel, to bid their baby to Rest in Peace.
June 1, 1897, Susan was saddened by the death of her dear husband, Samuel Grigsby. The cause of his death is not known. Samuel's burial site was chosen near his baby Matilda, in the beautiful Kite Cemetery. Grief stricken Susan, with the support of her family and friend gathered at his plot to bid her beloved, Samuel farewell. (bio by Audrey DeCamp Hoffman)
