ORA SYLVESTER CRAIG (GEORGE WASHINGTON3, WILLIAM2, SAMUEL1) He married OLIVE MAY STONE Unknown (about 1908)in Indiana?, daughter of WILLIAM STONE and BARBARA ELLEN LIKENS. Olive was born July 06, 1889 in Waterloo, Indiana, and died December 09, 1958 in Denver, Colorado. In 1955 Ora had one sister still living somewhere in Indiana. I recall the visit and have a photograph but no name. My father passed away when I was 8 years old, and his parents lived in Colorado so there was little contact. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated. Mary Ellen
