Dear Stella, My great grandparents were William and Elizabeth (O'Toole)
McCracken.
They lived in Wabash, Ind. in 1880 as they appeared in the US Census of that
year.
William worked at a flaxmill there. However, they were in Peru when they
died. William died June 1, 1884 and Elizabeth died Feb. 11, 1885. My
grandmother told us
that she lived on a farm near an Indian reservation in the Peru area when she
was a
little girl. The parent went to that area sometime after 1880. If you can
help me in any
way to find information about this family, I would greatly appreciate it. I
have not had
much success getting information about them. Thanks in advance. Regards, Pat
Werline Schmidt
