John Stinson Spangler

I was reading the obituaries the other day and saw this lady who was born in 1919 in Sherman, Texas. Her father was James Stinson. I kept thinking, "Stinson, Stinson I know that name." Then I remembered my great uncle was John Stinson Spangler. I checked a few of the Censuses for Grayson County. James Stinson's father was a doctor. Dr. Stinson and his family did not live in the same Census Ward as the Spanglers. However, Sherman Texas was not that big so I'm sure they would have know each other. Maybe Jake and Columbia hoped young John would grow up to be a doctor! (He did not.) Dr. Stinson was not the doctor that signed Jake and Columbia's death certificates, either.

When I come across these different middle names ie. Stinson, Rodman, Burch, I have been trying to fit them into the family. I guess I will have to check first on the Census and see if they are neighbors.
