"Mae Griffith lost her first husband, Homer A. Stephens, during World War I. He is buried at the De Leon Cemetery, Comanche County, Texas.
"She married Emmett Eason the first time in 1923. They divorced and remarried five or six times, or as Uncle Emmett put it, "all the law would allow." Mae possibly married one or two other times between the times she was married to Emmett. Her death certificate certificate says she was born in 1902, but this is wrong as per the fact the she was born after her father died and before the 1900 census. Aunt Mae always wanted people to think she was younger than she was. She had no children from any marriage. As a child in the 1950's, I mostly remember her raising Chincillas for their fur, as Chincillas coats were a big fad at the time. She had them all over her house, which a thought was pretty cool! I was not 10 years old at the time.
"I knew quite a bit about Aunt Mae from the family, but I interviewed Uncle Emmitt first in 1976 while he was living with Mr. and Mrs. Bill Flippo, and after he moved to the Care-Inn Nursing Home on 19th Street in San Angelo, Texas." (Ralph Terry, great nephew of Laura Mae Griffith Stephens Eason.)
