Tommy Gresham Has 10 Living Grandparents

If three year old Tommy Gresham of Winnfield called "Grandmother," or
"Grandfather" at a family reunion, he'd need to specify which one, or most of
the gathering would answer in unison.

The child, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Gresham of Winnfield, has 10 living
grandparents, which is quite unusual, if not a record.  Seven of his
"grandfolks" live in Atlanta.

They are: maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Carter; Mrs. Della
Lovette, and Mrs. Laura Carter, great grandmothers, and Mrs. Emma Oakes, step-
great-grandmother.  Paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Gresham; Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Gresham of Arkansas, great grandparents.
