He died 4 Aug 1924 in San Bernadino, CA. I have pics and information on him in my family tree here. His father was Joseph McCann also born in Indiana. His father, Alexander McCann was born in 1784 in Ireland and immigrated to Indiana. I am 34 years old and having symptoms of CMT, which have prevented me from getting into nursing school, so I will be seeking medical care on this ASAP. My dad has some significant muscle wasting, tremors and clumsiness all of which are classic symptoms of CMT as well as Huntington's which runs through our family line (my genetic testing showed that I do NOT carry the gene for that, thank GOD!!) I'm trying to see if there's another link between our McCanns and CMT. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
