Kim,
There isn't a picture of me in the McCreery book.The 1997 McCreery family reunion--was that the one that was held in Canada?No, I was in Arizona at the time and didn't know about it until it was too late to make plans.No, I didn't know Monte, Myrna, Coreen, Chuck or Nellie.Did you know them?Are they buried in the Brecksville Cem?
My grandfather was Alfred McCreery, the son of Silas.Silas was the son of Edward.Silas died when Alfred was just five,and so my Great Grandmother Edith (Brush) took her son and daughter (Mary Helen--who married Birdsall) to Berea to live with her parents.My 2nd Great Grandfather Perry Brush was a visiting minister at the Methodist church in Brecksville, and his daughter Edith took penmanship lessons from Benjamin Rathbun (father of Violet who became my grandmother).Alfred liked to visit his cousins in Brecksville whenever he had the chance.
Benjamin and Cora (Kelsey) Rathbun with their family lived at the Old Stage Coach next door to Edward and Susannah (Wallace) McCreery's home (Although Edward and SusannahMcCreery had already died when Alfred was young, there may have been family still living in the home.) That would have been the big house (where there is now a gas station) on the corner across from the Old Brick Store at the corner of Route 82 and RT 21--mentioned in the McCreery book.You are probably familiar with that building--it used to be a post office and general store--owned by McCreery.Now it's a furniture store.And kitty-corner from Edward and Susannah McCreery's large home was the McCreery Bank.
I am so grateful that Snow took the time to compile the book on the McCreery family of Brecksville, Ohio.It gave me a great start.
Is there a family historian or someone who is trying to keep track of the McCreery descendants?Have you done your family tree?
I'm having trouble with getting into my E-mail.I don't know if it's our server or what.
Pat
