     Grady Paul was born after 1939.¹ He was the son of Herbert Charles Paul and Ida M. Warfield.¹ Some sources list Grady Paul as a child of Herbert Charles Paul and Ida Warfield Paul, but no such child appears in their family in either the 1940 or the 1950 Census. There is no mention of such a child in either of their obituaries either. It is more likely that this is a mistaken reference to the Grady Paul who was the son of Herbert C. Paul's son Delbert Paul and Carolyn Schwalm Paul. Likewise, the reference to Debbie Paul as Grady's daughter is probably a mistaken reference to Debbie Paul who was the daughter of Dellbert Paul.^2,3,4,5
