Mr. Briscoe went back east to Indiana and was married at Kokomo to Miss Elizabeth Caroline Mugg, daughter of James and Catharine (Ingels) Mugg, and who is a descendant of Daniel Boone, the great Kentuckian. She attended Franklin College, Franklin, Ind., one year, and two years at La Grange College, Mo., and it was in her college days that the acquaintance began that led to their union. Their honeymoon trip ended in Fresno County, Cal., where Mr. Briscoe resumed his farming and fruitraising. Elizabeth was an accomplished woman, a devoted mother, and a worthy helpmate. Their home was surrounded with the things that make for high standards of living, and abounded with good books, farm periodicals and papers. The family was most interesting, and consisted of seven children : Ernest, married to Margaret Weimert. of Fresno, ranchers, living near the De Wolf school ; Elmer, married to Delcie Barr, lived in the same vicinity ; Walter married Gladys Wells, of the same vicinity : James, a soldier in France ; Roy, at home ; Beryl, a senior in Fowler High School in 1919 ; and Fred, in the grammar school in 1919. All the older boys attended Heald's Business College at Fresno. Most highly esteemed by all who know them, it was a happy day indeed, when in 1886, the Briscoe family cast their lot in Fresno County.
