Beginning

A couple of weeks ago my mother was contacted by a woman from Mid West City, Oklahoma wondering if my mother knew a WC DeFries. Of course mom knew this was my dad's dad so she called her back. This lady (Jackie) had went to an auction a few months ago (September I think) and had purchased an old army foot locker. Inside the foot locker was about 200 letters between "Bud" DeFries and Verna Lee Cross (who later became DeFries). These were my grandparents. I have recently aquired the letters and am in the process of reading them all. I have already learned so much about my grandparents. They married when my Granny was 20 or so and my Peepaw as 18. They fell madly in love and chronicled their relationship through letters.
