Karen, Many thanks for the Fruits obituary information; I was able to glean several additional bits of information about the family. Your email prompted me to write you about my "Fruits brick wall" in the hope that someone on the list would provide me with information that I have not been able to find. For a long time (it seems) I have been searching for a son of George Fruits and Catherine Stonebraker, David. David was married to: (1) Phebe/Phoebe Jones and (2) Harriet Reeder Krout. The 1870 Census shows David, Phebe and their children, Lucinda and William, living in Wayne Township in Montgomery County. By the 1880 census Harriet is listed as his wife and they are living in Warren township, Clinton County, Indiana with Harriet's youngest two children, Rebecca and Alijah Krout. I have not been able to find any record of Phebe's, David's or Harriet's death. Thanking you in advance for any clues, Beverly Cronk -----Original Message----- From: inmontgo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:inmontgo-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of inmontgo-request@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, August 02, 2008 3:01 AM To: inmontgo@rootsweb.com Subject: INMONTGO Digest, Vol 3, Issue 344 Please crop the trailing posts when replying to the digest, and change the subject to match what you are responding to. http://ingenweb/inmontgomery/ is the website we use for this mail list.
