CRANE GRIMES who was born in ca 1855 in NY and married Charles Albert Crane, possibly in IL, but could be NY. Their oldest children, May and George were born in IL while some of the others were born in IA and KS (according to census records). On the 1900 census she stated that she had had 10 children, only 8 of which were living. They are (all CRANE): May, George, Betha, Hattie, John,Charlotte "Lotte", Nora and Charles Norman Crane. Charles Albert Crane died (I believe in Rooks Co. possibly around Stockton) in ca 1897. She then remarried to Milo R. GRIMES and they lived in Belmont Twp., Rooks, KS from 1900 - ??? (they were there in 1910 also). Charles Norman Crane married Alpha ?? and their family lived at Colby, Thomas Co., KS in 1930 and he and some of his decendants are buried in the Buelah Cemetery at Colby, KS. I hope to hear from someone who knows of this family (probably decendants of the Crane's) that know Frances' maiden name, place of birth, etc.) I would also like to hear from anyone who knows the burial place of Milo and Francis Grimes - maybe in Rooks Co. Thanks! Alice Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
