Notes for Coffee Rice CONNER
It is believed that C.R. went to live with his Paternal Grandparents, at about the age of nine, and that they lived in Grayson Co., Texas near Sherman or Pottsboro, Texas.543

He was the president of the bank during the 1920s. When the Stock Market crashed in 1929 he lost most of his land and other assets because at that period of time the president of the bank was liable for the debts of the bank. He never got over this and was very bitter and became more selfish and just looked out for himself. 812
