Russ & Kathy, We might have a match on the Craigs in Indiana, PA. I have a Daisy CRAIG who is listed in the 1900 Census, Rayne Twp, Indiana Co, PA. Her birth date is given as October of 1881. She was the youngest daughter of Robert Nelson CRAIG (b 1838) and Henrietta BELL, who were my g-g-grandparents. Robert & Henrietta came from Clarion County, PA where there are a lot of Craigs. There also seemed to be a branch that settled in Indiana Co, PA and I always wondered what motivated Robert to move there. I wonder if Irvin and Elizabeth were that connection? Where is Cookport Methodist Cemetery? Robert & Henrietta are buried in Grove Chapel Cemetery in Home, PA (on Rt 119 between Indiana & Punxsutawney). Do you have any information on Irvin Craig or his occupation? I have a James and Washington Craig (Robert's brothers) who were contracted to build a woolen mill in Indiana County. Hope we can exchange some more information. Nancy Williams Cleveland, Ohio

Nancy, The information you have given does sound promising. We visited the Cookport Methodist Cemetery this past May, when we picked up our son who is attending CWRU in Cleveland. Cookport is north and east of Indiana. Take route 286 north out of Indiana, go through Clymer and turn right (east) onto route 240. When you get to Cookport, a very small town (don't blink), take the first road south (right) out of the center of town. You will pass a small church and cemetery on the left; the Methodist cemetery is just a little ways beyond and on the right. The Craigs and Kathy's great-grandfather George Beringer are about in the center of the cemetery. Daisy's gravesite adjoins the graves of Irvin and Elizabeth. We've wondered about the possible relationship. Home, PA, I notice is not that far away from Cookport. In fact, it is almost due west. However, there are no roads directly between the two towns. We have not found any information about Irvin. We do not know what his occupation was or anything about the rest of his family. The Craigs are currently one of our dead-ends (no pun intended). His daughter, Catherine was born and raised near Cookport, according to her obituary. A brief search of Indiana county records shed no light on the Craigs either (the county records for that time period are very sparse). Do you have any idea why Daisy was buried with Irvin and Elizabeth? Her husband Ellis Armstrong is not any where nearby. We know her husband was Ellis by the inscription. We can't imagine that there were very many Daisy Craigs running around Indiana county in that time period. We're not sure what Robert's relation to Irvin might be. Is it possible Irvin is another brother or cousin? Do you know the name of Robert's parents? What other information do you have about Robert's brothers? We look forward to any ideas that you may have about our mutual mystery. Russ and Kathy
