I've "rescued" an old birth announcement for Geo Stewert SOCKRIDER who was
born 3 Sept 1910 in Indiana. His parents were Mr. & Mrs. Dale SOCKRIDER.
The announcement was mailed to Mr. & Mrs. Harry Rainar. Based on limited
research I was able to locate the following information regarding the
family:
George Steward or Stewert SOCKRIDER was born in Ligonier, IN to parents Dale
SOCKRIDER and Grace MACHAMER. George married Margaret Ann CROOKS (b. 7 Oct
1910 in Ege, IN to parents Ora CROOKS and Dorthy LEAHY) on 31 Jan 1931 in
Garrett, IN and together they had three children. George died in Dec 1985
in DeKalb, IN and is buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Auburn, IN.

document can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family,
or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
