My great grandfather William Grant Carey was born in Bucks County Pennsylvania in 1864. He married Loretta Wortinger in St. Joseph's County Michigan. Loretta b. 1864 in Elkhart County Indiana is the daughter of George and Mary Wortinger. On the 1900 census they lived with their two sons, Merril S. Carey b. 1888 in Cass County Michigan, and Lester George Carey b. in 1889 in Cass County Michigan. Another member of their family is difficult to read on the census, but it appears to be Loretta Carey's younger sister Bett (perhaps) Wortinger b. 1876 in Elkhart County Indiana. On Loretta's brother Chauncey Wortinger's obit, 2 sisters survive him in 1939. Both sisters live in Idaho. One is Mrs. William Carey (Loretta Wortinger). The other is Mrs. Lee Marshall (perhaps Bett Wortinger). Merril S. Carey married Clarissa and had a daughter Elisabeth b.1910 in Michigan. They also had daughters Doris b. 1913 in Illinois and Irma b. 1915 in Illinois. On the 1920 federal census they were living in Davenport Iowa. Lester George Carey, my grandfather would have been 50 years old in 1939. He married Ethel La Veral Rice of Michigan. Their son, and my father George Edwin Carey b. 1918 was 21 years old in 1939 and a graduate of Eagle High School. He also played on the Eagle H.S. Football team. Gearge Edwin had two brothers, Earl R. Carey, and Francis Lamar Carey, both younger. When WWII broke out, Earl went into the Navy, and George and Francis joined the Army. Lester George and Ethel moved to San Francisco shortly there after. George lived in Washington D.C. for a short period after the war and then came to the San Francisco Bay Area. Earl lived in the Bay Area also. Francis lived in Ohio and now resides in Kissimee Florida I have very little information on my fathers family and would greatly appreciate any other details. Thank you, Steve Carey Soundchex@aol.com
