=======
I have always known Aunt Viola as a Cragun. My uncle Reub was biologically Gundy, but took the name Cragun (his step father) at birth and was always known as Cragun. His daughter told me that his biological father was my aunt Viola's father, too. I have nothing but oral history on this. However, the 1910 census has Blanche married 3 years and Viola age "0", so I am leaving her maiden name as Cragun.

She married Ed Williams after the death of 1st husband Decatur Orlando "Ray" Spalding. Buried with her son, Little Ray.
