Henry/Israel/Luther Cragle- Luzerne County area
I have limited information on the following Cragles and would like to learn more about Israel Cragle (father of Luther and Alma Cragle). Most of this branch of Cragles still live in the Luzerne County area of Pennsylvania, especially small towns like Nescopeck, Shickshinny and Berwick.
Due to the extensive flooding in 1972, a lot of records were lost to tie my family together. My aunt and mother did some research but kept meeting dead ends because of the ruined paperwork, and different spellings of the name Cragle.
There was a family of Cragles who lived in a house in West Nanticoke on Poplar Street prior to when Luther and his wife Ida (my great grandparents) moved in. One of the Cragle women hung herself there, if that's any help. Sorry but I don't have her name or the date or the circumstances.
Luther and Ida divorced soon after they were married. When Ida's house (the one in West Nanticoke) was flooded a few months after her death, we were in the process of cleaning it out and moving things to the first floor. Most everything on the 1st floor was destroyed by the flood. Most archives in Wilkes Barre were also destroyed. Any records kept at local churches was also destroyed. So any data whatsoever would be most helpful. I am attaching the information I have, in case someone recognizes it. I do have slightly more information as far as the children from the next generation if anyone needs it.
