(In the 1900 Census, Ransom's father Isaac had moved back to Marion, Ozark Co., Missouri where Isaac had founded a community known as Grabeel. Isaac had built a church and laid out a town, but it never fully developed. It did have a church, a school, and a postoffice. Ransom's father Isaac was buried at Noble, Ozark Co., MO, in 1903).
In the 1900 Census, Ransom was in Highland, Oregon, Missouri with his family, worked as a farmer.
In 1905 the family was in Ione, OR. Their young son David L. Grabeel was burried in Highview Cemetery there. The following site lists that there is a memorial for Ransom and Martha as well, but I have had it check out lately and their memorial seems to have been removed.

From Fred Rauch (descendant of Ransom Grabeel):
The date(for his birth) that I have is March 11, 1959. This is from a copy of his death certificate and information my grandmother (probably from Ransoms bible) collected and gave to all her then grandchildren.
The Kentucky birth records are also a little confusing as some citations show March 11, 1960 while another shows March 11, 1959 which also has a copy of the hand written document which confirms 1959
