My paternal grandfather's name was Guy O. Eakins, Jr., and he was born in Erath Co, Texas on September 17, 1917 and died in Denver Colorado on October 12, 1949. He was married to Dorothy Schafroth.

The father of Guy Jr., was of course, Guy O. Eakins Sr. He was born on February 18, 1892, possibly in Texas. He died in Erath Co. on July 21, 1958. His wife was Iris Elona Laney of Texas.

As for his father, I have a little information that leads me to believe that his name was John A. Eakins, who was married to a Mary R. Elkins (how's that for confusing!). John was born in July 1859 in Arkansas and Mary was born in February 1864.
