To Jan Brooks (jan@kellnet.com) I am sorry, but I did not find any Creggs (Craigs, etc.) in the "History of Crawford County, Pa. 1885." I do have a copy of an obituary, though, for a Bertie "Craig" from Linesville - copy of the obit follows. Don't know if this is someone you are looking for or not - but here it is! Craig, Bertie died August 13, 1883 Another case of "didn't know it was loaded" happened in our midst. Thursday morning, the two young boys of John Craig's, Willie and Bertie, were fooling with a loaded gun when it was accidentally discharged in the hands of Willie, the charge entering the cheek of Bertie and coming out the back of his head. He lived but a short time after being shot. Both boys supposed the gun to be empty. People should profit by this warning. It is dangerous to have a loaded gun around the house where there are children, and equally dangerous to allow young boys to use firearms. It is much better to be cautious before some one is killed or wounded than afterwards. The friends of the bereaved have the sympathy of the community. - Linesville Herald August 18, 1883; page 3, column 1 Kathy Brubaker Volunteer Genealogist Linesville Historical Society kbrbkr@toolcity.net -----Original Message----- From: Jan Brooks <jan@kellnet.com> To: kbrbkr@toolcity.net <kbrbkr@toolcity.net> Date: Tuesday, October 13, 1998 7:31 AM Subject: Creggs >Good Morning: > >Are there any Creggs listed in your 1885 History of Crawford Co. book?
