I only recently received some scant information on my grandmother's family. Her name was Helen Pratt, born Nov. 2, 1881 and married Henry Alphonsus O'Grady on Feb. 6, 1909. They lived in Chicago but I believe they were each born elsewhere. I've been told that also in our family history are Obadiah Pratt and Enoch Pratt, for whom a library was named in Baltimore. Other names given to me were Kathryn Farley and Edward Wishkerson and that there were also two Pratt brothers who went to Minnesota and opened a dairy called Land 'O Lakes. Also mentioned is a distant relative named William Henry Pratt, also known as Boris Karloff. I really don't know if this is true or speculation. I am interested in knowing for curiosities' sake if our family line had anything to do with Pratt Wayne Woods since I live a nearby town, in Wayne Township, If anyone has any information they'd like to share, thank you in advance!-E.Holland
