Willie Minerva Griffith; Borned May 5, 1901 in Mesquite, Dallas Co. Texas. Died Feb. 17, 1987 in Dallas, Tx. Buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery, Quinlan, Hunt Co. Tx. Married 1. Carey Herman Luna 2. James Vernon Abernathy. (Oct. 27, 1900-July 27, 1977. 1 child with Vernon; John Earl Abernathy, borned May 29, 1941 in Dallas, Tx.
See Carey Herman profile for children in that marriage. Pictured below are Grandpa and grandma, Joseph H. Griffith and Mary Jane Pinkston Griffith. I have drove this Motel T after grandpa died. It had solid tires on it when he bought it, but in later years he put rubber and made a cab out of wood with doors. He would jack one back wheel up, put a long belt around it and run a saw to saw up wood for the winter. I beleive it was a 1916 model T Ford.
