Oregon/Washington Crabers

Classification: Query
After reading Allyson's list of Crabers born in Eastern Oregon I had my 94-year-old father-in-law sit down with me and have a look at the list of the children of Sylvester Eugene and Mary Craber. His dad was Edwin (married to Maude Rice). Edwin was apparently born in Illinois and Maude was an Oregonian. Ralph Craber was known as Kim, never married (we have a picture of him in an old army uniform), and was very inventive and creative. Bessie Craber was a wonderful woman and a great cook. Cyrus and Jessie lived in Independence. Jessie had a daughter (Daisy) who recently died (last time I saw Daisy was at a Craber reunion in The Dalles. She was wearing a big, red flower in her beautiful white hair and said she had been an entertainer. I'll always wish I asked her what kind.) David provided us with a picutre of Herman in his Civil War finery, armed to the teeth with a rifle, long sword, a pistol, and long boots. He looks every inch a Prussian. Since the list of 11 kids covered my father-in-law's aunts and uncles, he didn't know much about the older ones.
We're doing our part to keep the Craber name alive here in the Pacific Northwest -- we have 2 sons and 3 grandsons.
