In the 1900 Census he is living with his Yates' grandparents Benjamin and Etha Inda.
At age 21 during the 1910 Census he is living by himself in Pope County, Illinois.
Between 1910 and 1915 he married Mary Ruth Settlemoir in Illinois or Indiana.
Note: Written in the Goot Family Bible are the following 3 names:
Miles M Goot born July 8, 1889 ( This is the only place I have seen recorded that Goot was his last name.)
Milas Edgar Grisham born Novemeber 25, 1915 ( This is the only place that I find his son therefore I assume he died before 1920.)
Eugene Moore Grisham born April ( nothing else noted)
His WWI Draft Registration places his residence in Kankakee, Illinois during 1917-1918.
In the 1920 Census Milas G Grisham was living with his family in Marion, Illinois. His family included his wife Ruth and son Eugene 2 years old. It stated that Milas could read and write.
In the 1930 Census Milas Grisham is living in Anna, Union County, Illinois with his family.
Ruth 35 wife
Jean 12 son
Wilbur 9 son
Jackson 6 son
