I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the CROOKS Family of Kansas. The first is a photograph of Cleda CROOKS which was taken at the S. Goodnight Studio in Lawrence, KS. The photograph was likely taken in the 1890's with Cleda noted as age 5 months and 10 days old at the time. In addition to her name and age, someone has written "To my dear Great Grandpa and My Aunt Maggie" on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is identified as Lulu Amanda CROOKS and was taken at the Grover Studio in Olathe, KS. This photograph was probably also taken in the 1890's with Lulu noted as 7 months old at the time. In addition to her name and age, someone has written "Grandpa & Aunt Mag" on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Cleda Katherine CROOKS b. 23 Jun 1896 in Baldwin City, KS to parents Edgar Leckey CROOKS and Margaret Jan FLETCHER. She married Arthur John Philip BRUNNER (b. 7 Jul 1896 in Seneca MO) on 6 Jan 1920 in Frederick, OK. Cleda died 19 Jun 1979 in Anaheim, CA. Lulu Amanda CROOKS b. 21 Nov 1897 in Baldwin City, KS to parents Edgar Leckey CROOKS and Margaret Jan FLETCHER. Lulu married Reed Waldo GARMAN on 20 Jun 1924 in Riverside, CA and she died 21 Feb 1978 in Fresno, CA. Census records provide the following information: 1900 census of Palmyra Township, KS: Edgar L.
