Hello, Kaye,
My grandparents grew up in Hardman, Oregon; my grandmother was a 1/2 cousin to Sylvester "Eugene" Craber (originally Kroeber). I have corresponded with Dallas Craber (wrote him a letter when I was in Heppner, and they told me at the Morrow Co Museum that he lived in town)--in 2004. His son Don sent me the photo of Herman Kroeber. I'm descended from his wife's 2nd marriage. I live in the Portland area. Thanks for sharing some information. Please email me at
allyonhaines@yahoo.com if you are interested in my sending the Civil War pension information on Herman Kroeber. He died in a vet's hospital in St. Louis on his way home from the war. Very sad. P.S. Do you know who Shirley Rice was? She signed my grandmother's autograph book 100 years ago to the day that I saw your message (Nov 19th). --Allyson
