My father Cornelius L. Grigsby and my mother Sara B. Grigsby migrated
  from Elm Mills, Barber County, together with my uncle, D.S. Grigsby, to
  Stevens County, Kansas, early in the century, and each homesteaded land
  there.
     My twin brother Kendall and I were born there in 1904. In 1911 my
  parents moved to Liberal, Kansas, in order to enter my brother and me in
  school.
     In 1912 my parents moved to Medicine Lodge, and my brother and I
  entered school with our classmates Chester Fullerton, Hardin Gilbert,
  Trice Newsom, and many other wonderful people.
     My brother and I graduated from Medicine Lodge High School in 1923 
  and that fall I went to Chicago to be with my older brother and to enter
  Medical School.
     My older brother, Donald W. Grigsby, had graduated from Medicine Lodge
  High School in 1915, along with Frankie Axtell, whom he married.
     Donald had gone to Chicago, following high school to study Chemical
  Engineering, and later worked in this field for the Pullman Company in
  Chicago.
     I graduated from Loyola Medical School in 1929, and in 1930 entered
  practive in Chicago. In 1932 I returned to Medicine Lodge and entered
  practive with Hardin Gilbert, M.D.
     In 1935 I was married to Evelyn Rankin, daughter of George Rankin of
  Medicine Lodge.
     In 1940 I closed my practice, and Evelyn and I went to Fort Crook,
  Nebraska, where I entered active military service as a Captain in the
  Reserves.
     In May 1941 I was ordered to the Panama Canal Zone, and Evelyn and I
  moved to the Canal Zone. Following Pearl Harbor, Evelyn and other army
  wives were returned to the mainland, where Evelyn worked for the Air
  Force at San Antonio, Texas.
     After returning from service in Europe in 1946, I was discharged from
  active duty. I spent six weeks with the Veteran's Administration Hospital
  at Jackson, Mississippi, doing the surgery which I later used to obtain my
  Board Certification in Abdominal Surgery.
     In 1952 I left the Veteran's Administration Hospital and returned to
  private practice in Coffeyville, Kansas, where I remained until retirement
  in 1976.
     Following retirement, Evelyn and I established our home in Sun City,
  Arizona. We returned to Medicine Lodge each summer, where we continue to
  have interests and where we see friends of many years.
