While Serving in WW1, he was stationed with a fellow named Mr.Tilford, Mr Tilford and my Grandfather promised each other that if they got home alive they would each name the next children after each other using their surnames. So somewhere out there is a fellow named Gregory Tilford, and my grandfather named my father Tilford Gregory.

Sadly My grandfather passed away just before his 50th wedding anniversary, although they did have an unofficial Party in June of 1970, with a lot of family members attending.

Notes for CARRIE GRACIE LANE:
"All our Children were born in Aurora, Missouri except Shirlene who was born in Galena Kansas, 1926, at Vester and Alta Lanes home. Dan was working in Peabody, Kansas. Shortly after she was born I went with our two children (Tilford & Shirlene) to live with my Husband in Peabody, Kansas, where we lived about 3 years. After that we returned to Aurora, Mo. Prior to this we had lived in Des Moines and Nevada, Iowa< Dan was there for Medical Care. In the year 1929 shortly after Elsworth was born we sold most of our belongings and moved to Wichita, Kansas where we lived with our 3 children for about 3 years returning to Aurora, Mo where we lived until after Earl had Ruth were born, 1933 & 1936. We bought a home on Cofield St during this time. Dan was employed at the Janeville Shoe Factory. Our home burnt down on Cofeild St, No one was hurt, but we only collected a small insurance. This we applied on another house on W. Myrtle Street and we bought the furniture in the house as it was. Here we lived for several years. Then the depression started and not much work for anyone. We had to give up our home here and rented a house on W.
