Hello! I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a marriage date and maiden name. My ggUncle, Harry D. PRATT is 28 and single living with his widowed father and sister in 1910 in Marble Town, Gunnison Co., Co. By the 1920 Census he shows up in Denver Dist. 256 living on Delaware St. with his wife Edna E. (unknown) PRATT and she is 38 and was born in Missouri. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Marie *Harry's mother was Mary A. LOONEY b. in Vt. both Mary's parents were b. in Ireland. I believe Mary died in 1915 and her body was sent back to Rutland Co., Vt. for burial.* "I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure."
I have the following information on Harry Pratt's family: Mary Looney m. Eugene Oscar Pratt 23 Nov 1874 in Rutland County, VT. Online sources have a Mary A. Looney on the IGI listed as the dau. of John Looney and Mary Fitzgerald and the dates match pretty well if she was abt 14 when she married Oscar. Mary A. Looney left with her family and went to Marble, Gunnison County, Colorado but died in a Denver Hospital and her body was returned in 1910 to Rutland, VT to be buried alongside family members. Evergreen Cemetery, Rutland County, Vermont Maud H. Pratt 1879-1914 Minnie (Minerva?) M. Pratt 1879-1898 Mary A. Looney Pratt 1853-1910 My grandmother, Charlotte Mary Pratt was also a twin as are my cousins. E. O. Pratt was the son of Oscar Granklin and Minerva (French) Pratt and born in Rutland County, VT. E.
