Mr. G. I. Briscoe, grocery merchant, at Cove City, Crawford County, was the son 
of Francis M. and Lucy (Tolle) Briscoe. The father was born in Lewis County, 
Mo., and was killed during the Rebellion. He was a school-teacher by profession. 
The mother was of Dutch-Scotch descent, and was born in Lewis County, Mo., in 
1840. After Mr. Briscoe's death she was united in marriage, in Texas, to M. L. 
London. In 1868 she came to Crawford County, Ark., where she still resides. By 
her first marriage she was the mother of two children, and by her second 
marriage of six. Her oldest child, William A. Briscoe, is engaged in the grocery 
business at Van Buren, and her second son, G. I., is in the same business at 
Cove City, as above mentioned.
