Ada Griffin was born January 22, 1898 in Stanly County, NC and she died October 7, 1967 in Union County, NC. Ada was the oldest child of Jonah and Lougenia Griffin. She married Claude A. Simpson he was born Dec 1, 1899 and died June 7, 1993. They never had children but no couple was more dedicated to each other than they were. She was an excellent cook and outstanding seamstress. She made all her clothing and was also good at embroidery; hand made lace, tatting, and smocking. She had beautiful long wavy black hair, which she never cut and wore it pulled back in a bun. I remember her as a sweet, caring and always happy person. She loved teaching us young girls’ new crafts and gave us tips on sewing; cooking and the many other house hold chores. As remembered by her niece Ruth Griffin Jackson.
