I see this is your first posting on Rootsweb, at least using this user name. When you post, it is VERY IMPORTANT to fully identify who you seek. There date of birth is ALWAYS helpful, or if you don't have it, an approximate date. Or, date of death, names of spouse, children, etc. This identifies this person from others having the same name.

I find no Calvin Mcracken in records.

The 1910 Census has a Calvin L. McCracken and Martha living in Spirit Lake, Kootenai County, ID. He was born about 1855 in Pennsylvania, six children were listed.

The Social Security Death Index shows a Calvin O. McCracken, born 12 April 1923, died 4 Oct 2007, "last residence" in Coeur D'Alene, Kootenai Co, ID. The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person lived.

Here is the burial of the person you are probably seeking:

As far as his nine children, that research would take a good deal of time. When you post, it is also important to identify just what research you have already done. That would help prevent a volunteer from doing a lot of work, US Census, etc., typing it and posting, only to learn you already had that information. If you are related to these people, do you know any of their descendants that could help in identifying the information you seek?
