    • On the 1930 census, living at 827 Walnut St. Flint Michigan. They owned their house, valued at $19,500, they did have a radio. He was a builder, she was a bookkeeper in real estate.

      I met Uncle Grover and Aunt Rose Herring several times in the early 1960's when we went to visit them in Melbourne Florida. Grover Herring was instrumental in building a large part of the Melbourne area.
