I have corresponded off and on with Gordon since 1983 when we werestationed at Yokota AB, Japan. So next time you correspond with himtell Dellie said hi. You can tell him my husband has been disabledwith a walker for 6 years now and cant drive. Plus we lost our 39year old son 1 Oct 2012 due to a car accident. This has been a veryhard year! He was a donor so we found out his corneas went to twoindividuals somewhere in Europe will be finding out what countries inthe near future. Also is a skin and bone graft and marrow which theycan use up to 5 years after death. So our son will be living on forseveral generations thru his recipents. We are having some of our sonsartwork being displayed from 30 Sep to 30 Oct at the CrawfordsvilleDistrict Public Library in their art gallery in the building I workin.
Have you used the library website and our local history databases wehave over 20 on there. This last month added 2500 marriage images toour website that is one thing I do. Plase be sure to check all ourdatabases we put the first one on in 2001.

Look forward to hearing back from you after you check out Hathaway 2,I am one of the editors for that one and 5 others when I find time.Most had information but none had many photographs, documents, etc. Sothey found it easier to make me an editor so I can add the photos anddescriptions.

Our son died in Montana and was cremated. 1/2 his ashes are buried atForks, Washington where his fiance lives. The other 1/2 in our livingroom. So we now have a connection to Washington. They had acelebration of life ceremony in Washington and his fiance went to itfor us!!

Bye for now

6369 I3143  Craig  Owen Benton  27 Apr 1853  19 Jan 1937  Biography sketch on Owen Brenton Craig and wife Ada Dora (Drollinger)

Owen Brenton Craig was born April 27, 1859 south of Perrysville, Vermillion County, Indiana. He was born to Larkin Craig and Elizabeth (Rayborn). His mother died three months after his birth of consumption. After his mothers death he moved to his aunts. Mrs. Lidia (John) Lightle outside of Veedersburg, Fountain County, Indiana. He lived there till he was old enough to work. Then his father came and took him to White County to work for him.

He ran away from his father back to Fountain County. Owen talked very little about Larkin, but spoke often of his step mother who he evidently liked.

Owen and Ada Dora Drollinger got married June 2, 1886 at Steam Corner, Millcreek Township, Fountain County, Indiana. They lived on the main road west of Wallace near a road side spring. It was in this area Samuel Larkin Craig Sr. was born. Owen was a farm hand in early life and worked for the railroad in later life. He worked on the railroad on the secton crew and was a gandydancer. He worked on Nickel Plate and Big Four and the one that ran from Veedersburg to Mellott. Another thing Owen did as a gandydancer on the railroad was laying rails and driving spikes.

Owen gave Ada for their first Christmas a family picture album on December 25, 1886. Robert Craig of Veedersburg now has it.

Owen and Ada resided in Veedersburg on North College Street running north of the baseball diamond at the city park. They moved in the last house on the west side of the street. They moved from Wallace to Veedersburg in 1910. Owen lived with his children after Ada died.

Most people called him OB. By Charles Wesley Craig's children he was called Uncle Brent. Owen use to smoke a pipe. Robert remembers what his dad (Bill) said about Owen use to "Smoke matches" is what the kids called it. When he had a dab of tobacco left in his pipe then he'd light it to finish it off.

According to what Robert 's dad told him Owen use to sing silly songs when Bill was little. Owen could play harmonica, juice harp, and french harp.

Ada liked to quilt. She always had a smile and liked to laugh. Ada had dark brown hair.

Owen had a mustache and was about 5'6" tall until he got older. He also had dark colored hair.

Owen Brenton Craig was born south of Perrysville, Vermillion County, Indiana he was the son of Larkin Craig and Elizabeth Rayborn. He is on the 1860 listed as Darius Craig. I know the obit said he was born in White County, Indiana. He wasnt we was born in Vermillion County, Indiana and his mother died when he was only a couple months old is listed on the mortality schedule for 1850's. Larkin Craig was in the Civil War. He lost his 2nd wife while in the war. When Owen got old enough Larkin took him to White County to help on the farm. Owen later ran away from home and went to Fountain County, Indiana to live with Aunt Lydia Rayborn Lightle. His father married two other times. After Larkin married the third time lived in White Co.. I will look up sources to proof it as soon as we get this artwork exhibit ready to go up at library next weekend.

Was in the Battle of the Bulge. Samuel's rank was T-5 Technican.
During the war (World War II) Sam was in the Engineer Topographical Company below is the story about them and what they did: 8 655 Engineer Topographical Company . This is our story. To those of us who traced the course of action from the shores of Normandy to the end of the war, it recalls a story of intense, ceaseless action and drama that no pictorical map can adequately illustrate. The places and events over which it passes lightly were our life, exciting and unpredicted, from the breakthrough at St. Lo. through endless days and nights of keeping the mapping ahead of the front lines in the continous action to the linkup with the Russian Armies in Germany. Here is none of the tragedy or the cheers, the heartbreak or the humor, the discomfort or the fune, but these were as much an integral part of the story as they are a part of our memories. The hedgerow hopping through the Cherbourg and Brittany peninsula to Brest was to the accompaniement of enthusastic cheers by French and we cannot overlook Bed Check Charlie of the Luftwaffe. The native drink of Calvados shall always be remembered as well as our attempt to conversation with the wildly enthusiastic French. The mad dash across France to pick up the war again at Bastogne catching a fleeting glimpse of Paris enroute. The long days in Belguim, mixed with apprehension and pleasure in the uncertain future. The wonderful friends we found there will always be remembered. The snow, rain, cold, sleet, and mud made progress difficult against a solid wall of resistance. The German Counter Offense in the Ardennes gave us bombs and steel for Christmas and the New Year. We probed slowly back into Germany until the action forwarded by leaps and bounds into the town of the Moselle and Rhine Valleys. We welcomed the bright warm sunshine and the blessed relief of spring. The four land highways the autobahns, wre springboards for the armor and enabled great thrusts into the heart of Germany. We saw the shocking realities of the concentration camps. White flags of surrender flying from the houses and long lines of liberated allied prisoners, streaming down both sides of the highways told us that the end was near. The news the world waited for come to us on May 7, 1945 and it is fitting to quote, in part, the G-2 report for that day ...... for the first time in eleven months there is no contact with the enemy. The victory which was won on Omaha and Utah Beaches has reached its climax. Today belongs to the men of this army who fought and conquered the enemy situation to report for there is no longer an enemy to defeat.............
