Jennifer,

Joe and Linnie Spyres were my grandmother Aunt and Uncle. They lived in Collinsville, Tulsa County, Oklahoma. That is where I grew up and spent much time with Aunt Linnie. Uncle Joe passed before I was born I believe. They are buried at Ridgelawn Cemetery in Collinsville, along with several other family members. Joe's grandmother Clara Ida Bailey Spyres is also buried in the same cemetery (I go there every year to put flowers on their graves). I know that Retha and I believe Mary Jo were their daughters. Aunt Linnie raised one of her granddaughters, Sheryl because Retha's husband was in the military and she had just had twins and was having a hard time. Sheryl was older and decided to go live with Aunt Linnie and Uncle Joe when she was just little.

I would love to talk to you. Retha passed away shortly after my mother. I can get dates for you. I sometimes run in to Sheryl at the cemetery on Memorial Day.

Ike was a brother of Joe's and his wife wrote a short history on the Spyres/Bailey family.
