 Roscoe Myrl Grow (B.
12/13/1905-D. 3/1983) Of Atlanta, Kansas, Butler County.
He married Goldie Pearl Black. She was from Haskins
Camp, near Augusta. (Haskins
camp, a settlement south of Augusta during the oil boom. Apparently both her parents were married
before they married each other and she had been shuffled around from relative
to relative. She had some half
brothers and sisters. She was only 15 when she met Roscoe in Augusta and was
married) Roscoe worked for Beachcraft
in Wichita, Kansas. He liked his bar time every Friday and Saturday
night. And word is that the reason he
waited on Goldie hand and foot when they were older is because he was making
up for the times when they were younger and he didn’t treat her so great.

xxxxxxxx Grow (B.
11/24/1953) met Deborah Jean Chek while home on leave
from the U.S. Navy. They were married 9/18/1973 at Burrton United Methodist
Church. The Reverand Dellenbaugh
proceeded the ceremony. He served in Vietnam at the same times as his two
brothers. He was besides a gunner, the
ship cook and he could cook up a batch of cinnamon roles
that would make your mouth water. He was honorably discharged in December of
1973. He started out in the oilfields
in the 70s. It was a time of major
recession, and even through a time when jobs were hard to come by, he was always
employed and always moved up from a good job to a better job. He kept in touch with some guys from his
unit because they’d built such an incredible bond over there in Viet
Nam. Then he worked for the Frisco
Railroad and after the Frisco-BN merger left him unemployed he went back to
the oil field. He was hurt on the job and rather than the company do the
right thing, they just fired him to cut their losses. So, he didn’t set by, he wrote legislators
to tell his story and helped to change the worker’s compensation laws. Deborah and xxxxx
managed to stick together through the toughest of times, buy a house, and
raise their three girls and sometimes a few of their friends too. They managed to survive that tough chapter
in their life together and found better times just around every corner. They enjoyed outdoor activities and used
that as a major family connection for everyone to enjoy. They all took up fishing and the girls
spent most of their time outside riding bikes, fishing, and playing sports. The outdoors connected everyone in the
family as one. It was a real journey of two best friends going through life
together and never giving up on each other.
Knowing just when the other needed a little space or when they needed
closeness. They were married for
almost 30 years before separating and divorcing.
