Her obituary and death certificate have her first name spelled as "Opal", but she and her children always spelled it as "Ople." I have copies of several letters, etc., in which she signed her name "Ople." It also appears that way on her marriage license and birth certificate. Someone responsible for the death records and newspaper notices may have "corrected" the spelling of her name to match that of the gemstone.
Wabash Co. Birth records list Ople May Grisso b. 20 Mar 1906, father Walter Figert age 23, mother Pearl Grisso age 19.
The Social Security death index lists Opale Grisso, b. 20 Mar 1906, d. May 1981, SSN 307-70-0208 issued in Indiana, last residence North Manchester, IN.
Wabash Co. Death Certificate in Bk 1981, p. 32, line 280 lists Opal Mae Grisso, father Walter Figert, mother Pearl Grisso, d. 23 May 1981, age 75, in Wabash Co. Hosp. (Her date of death was mistakenly written into the space for birth date, as well as the space for death date.) |
