Okay, I found out that my two friends who are in their ninetys father was Ira Brooks, I
have not found him in any census so far nor did I find him in the 1908 RCI Directory, he
was married to Sadie Cross. Unclear why, since when my friends were children they lived
in White River Twp, near where I use to live, I know the house. Ira was a county ag agent
during their childhood.
I have not found out yet who his parents were, Nan may get back with me on that, but as of
now no connection to your Rebecca so far.
I did find a Nimrod Brooks though in Randolph County in the 1900 census, I did not find
him again after that.
