Not related to the family, just doing a courtesy lookup.

There is an Oscar Leroy Grissom died Jan 3 1950 in Izard Co on the AR Death Index. He is buried in the LaCrosse Cem having been born Apr 28 1914 & seved in the Army WWll. There is also an infant there in the cem, Glenda May "17 months" Oct 1949-Mar 25 1951.

In the Lewis Cem there is William Silas Grissom Dec 15 1871-Oct 23 1947. No other ones there in that cem. He is also on the death index.

Then I found this. You may already have the infomation but do not know.

At the time of this obit, there were still 2 sisters living, they may be able to give you some details. If not, now you have the death date and you may be able to get some info from the newspaper in Izard Co.

Good luck,
