Grayce/Grasy family in Bloomington

Herman Grayce/Grasy/Grase was married to Louisa and they emigrated from Germany to the US in 1881. I'm not sure when they arrived in Bloomington, but they are on the 1900 census there, and still there on the 1930 census. They had 7 children; Richard (b.1881) Louise (b.1883), Emma (b.1885), Minnie (b.1888), Lenna (b.1891), Amanda (b.1894) and Freida (b.1896). He is listed as a machinist. Their daughter Louise married Melvyn Gilbert and are listed on the 1930 census living in Herman's household in Bloomington. Melvyn worked as an "engineer" on the CTA railroad. This where the trail ends currently.

I'm looking for any info about any of these family members and their descendants. I'm not sure what spelling of their name they eventually ended up using. All the spellings I noted were found on different censuses.
