During this~trip we visited my grandfather Dyeon. He was left an orphan in Shreveport, Louisiana as a lad, so he can trace his family back no farther. However, he does remember that either his father or grandfather came from the east. My grandfather Dyson is 79 years old. He moved to the — territory of Oklahoma where he married then on to the Pandhandle of Texas where he raised his family of six boye and three girls of which my father is oldest. My grandfather's name ie H. Felix Dyson.
