He was a son of John Mc. and Joyce BRISCOE and was born and raised on a farm near Auburn. Lived on a farm continuously in that vicinity until 1890, when he moved to Oklahoma. He secured a farm near Norman and was a successful farmer, leaving behind a considerable amount of property. He was a good neighbor and a highly respected citizen. His body was brought to Briscoe and laid away in the old family burying ground at that place, to await the great and final judgment. Peace to his ashes.
