Leander & Rebecca CRAUN/CRANN
Ater much difficulty, due to incorrect spelling of the surname CRAUN by both the census enumerator and the state of Ohio, I have found, via telephone to the library in Edgerton, OH, the date of death and place of burial for Leander, Rebecca and a son, Alpa Elmer:
Leander M. CRAUN/CRANN, b. 14 Mar 1839 OH; d. 29 Sep 1913 OH
Rebecca A., b. July 1843; d. 26 Feb 1932
(Both are buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Edgerton, OH)
James, son, b. Sept 1879
Alpa Elmer, son, b. Feb 1882; d. 17 Oct 1901
(Also buried in Maple Grove Cemetery, Edgerton, OH)
Living next door on 1900 census:
Edwin G. CRANN, b. Oct 1867 / very likely Leander's oldest son
Della J., wife, b. Nov 1872
Vera M., dau, b. Mar 1899
The census indicates that Leander and Rebecca had eight children and that five survived - so there are two that aren't accounted for.
I hope there is a CRAUN descendant or researcher out there who can tell me what happened to James and Edwin and their 'missing' siblings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, Julia
