Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, their family was from Janesville, Wisconsin. My great grandmother was Jessie Croake Spellen and her brother, Thomas, was the father to Maybelle Croake who I took care of. She was born in 1904 and died in 2008. I'm trying to figure out if I have their father correct - I didn't realize there were so many Croke/Croak/Croakes in Wisconsin!
I'm going to the Calvery Cemetary in Evanston,IL this weekend - I think there may be a few distant relatives buried there.
