The Clarke Courier of March 29, 1923, in the obituary of Fred N. Ryan, names Mrs. John A. T. Grigsby first among his seven surviving sisters, with Miss Katie Ryan "of Clarke."

What the source supports

That Mrs. John A. T. Grigsby was named in 1923 as a sister of Fred N. Ryan.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her brother's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's name and prints it "Grigsbv." The place "of Clarke" follows Miss Katie Ryan's name and may or may not cover hers. Her brother and husband have no records here.
