Comment by Audrey Simms: "From pictures, Wilson had a full head of hair and a beard. My husband (Forest) said he didn't hardly remember him. [He] did remember one time helping to put sheep in the barn. His [Forest's] grandfather's farm had about 200 acres." | Sims, Wilson Hannah Fox (I24)

Contribution by Donald Damon Hines, January 1, 2018:
I’m not sure if [the marriage] broke up per se, as in divorced, or if he [William Henry Hines] just tried to survive and earn a living by any means he could. I’ve found no record of a divorce and in the 1880 census William is listed as married. While working on another farm he could have been sending money to her, while she continued to live with her parents and raise her son in better living conditions. Obviously one has to wonder why EE Crane didn’t directly help William Henry, but William’s pride could always have been a factor.
There could be an entirely different story too that would explain the separation, but it involves explaining Y-DNA testing and what I’ve uncovered to date which strongly implies WL was not William Henry’s son or William Henry was not Caleb Hines’ son. Both are possible at this point Caleb and his wife adopted his wife’s youngest sister when their parents died (proof in the Library of VA). Nothing has been found for William Henry, but many records were decimated during the Civil War.
Alternatively, Ann could have fooled around with someone closer to her own age or her brother-in-law (William Henry Deitz – a likely scenario given DNA evidence) resulting in WL’s conception. Hard for a marriage to survive under such circumstances. Another strange thing is Aunt Dell (Della Daisy Hines) listing WL’s father as being born in England on his death certificate – strange, but also possible.

Contribution from Doinald Damon Hiones, January 1, 2018:
I’ve looked for this myself [Ann's date of death and burial place] and can only repeat what I’ve been told by my Aunt Katy (Alberta Kathleen Hines) that she died around 1930 and was buried in a family cemetery on what is now the property of my 2nd cousin Richard Gale Hines, Jr. The cemetery apparently has several people in it, but no markers. | Crane, Ann Elizabeth (I54)

Conversation with Chuck Cohenour:
"One thing you can add...is that Grover died in a coal mining
accident. The roof fell. Don't laugh, but that is what they call it
when the top of the inside of a mine collapses. It would be as if you
were in the living room and the ceiling just dropped." | Hunter, Grover Garner Sr. (I303)

Conversation with John Hull McLean: "We were married at 5 o'clock in the afternoon because Princeton was playing a football game against Yale, and everybody wanted to watch the game. Our wedding took place in the choir area at Princeton's chapel where about 50 people attended. This was unlike Cricket's sister Virginia's wedding where 1,800 were in attendance." | Family: John Hull McLean, II / Margaret Barr Myers (F1168)

Death of J. Q. A. Crane
The many friends of Mr. John Q. A. Crane, and the typographical fraternity in particular, will learn with sincere regret through this announcement the fact of his death, which occurred at his late residence 165 Plum Street, at 5:30 yesterday afternoon. Mr. Crane was a native of Greenbrier County, W. Va., where he was born in 1836, being at his death in his forty ninth year. He came to Cincinnati with his family in the spring of 1868, and had made this city his home ever since, and was engaged all the time in the composing room of the Commercial and Commercial Gazette, where his ability, industry and integrity had made him a valued and trusted employe [sic]. Some two months ago he was stricken with paralyisis, which finally terminated in his death as stated. All that medical skill, the loving care of relatives and the solicitude of numerous friends could do to alleviate his sufferings and restore him to health was done, but in vain. His widow and three grown children who survive him have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends who will sadly miss his cheerful face and cheery words in their loss of a loving, devoted and untiring husband and father. | Crane, John Quincy Adams (I75)

Death of Mrs. Susan Osborne.
Editor Greenbrier Independent: In chronicling the decease of Mrs. Susan Osborn, of Dennis, Greenbrier county, which occurred at 9 p. m. last Saturday, the natural grief so inseparable from so sad an occasion is tempered in her case by the reflection that death to her meant a happy release from intense and prolonged sufferings, borne with a patience and resignation touching to witness.
Mrs. Susan Osborn was born Aug. 29th, 1827. She was the daughter of the Rev. Sam'l Martin, whose sons Perry W., John Mc., Jas. E. and Sam'l T. Martin, are so well known in this part of Greenbrier. She married, Feb. 24th, 1852, James H. Osborn, of Little Sewell. The young couple began housekeeping near Meadow Bluff, where eight children were born to them. Of these four died in infancy, and but one son survives - Samuel W., of Dennis.
Mr. Jas. Osborn died in Sept'r, 1867, and his widow again married in 1877 Mr. W. H. Crane, of Big Clear Creek. No children blessed this marriage, and Mr. Crane died about 1887. Since then Mrs. Crane was generally known as Mrs. Osborn.
Mrs. Osborn had suffered from a complication of diseases for many years, rheumatism in an acute form being one of her most distressing troubles. For ten years she was an invalid, six of these years bedridden and helpless, despite the efforts of the best obtainable medical skill. During the latter years of her life she made her home with her son, Sam'l W., whose entire devotion and most loving care undoubtedly helped prolong and where the chiefest comforts of her lingering existence. To Miss Sarah Harper also a tribute of faithful service is due, but it would almost seem invidious to mention one where all friends and neighbors were so kind.
Mrs. Osborn was a lifelong member of the M. E. Church, South, and fortified by a certain religious hope and with a sincere trust in the Almighty. One she bore the trials with which God saw fit to afflict her with an exemplary patience and sweetness and an uncomplaining fortitude that won the admiration and reverence of all who knew her. But the long fight is done, victory has come at last, and she is now at rest! Her mortal remains were interred on Monday, the 7th Instant, in the old burying-ground at Perry W. Martin's, her grave being placed at the 'foot of her mother's. G. S. L. T.

During the Civil War James Crane was very careful to hide when he knew the soldiers were near. He had a plank floor in his home. He would take one board loose when he heard the soldiers approaching. He would lift the board and hide under the floor. His wife would place the cradle over the board and rock the baby until the solders left. The story does not say whether the solders wore Blue or Gray. Some say he served as a Private in Co. F, 27th Virginia during the civil war. James Allen Crane turned his land into a fruit farm. He built a large “still” and it was in this that he made use of all the fruit produced on his farm. People came from all over Greenbrier county to buy his famous whiskey. He had built a rock basement under the still house. He had a government permit to manufacture whiskey, but the quantity he could legally make was limited. When the “revenuer” came by and James had reached his quota the large brass kettle was turned upside down and sealed. This rather limited activity until James made friends with one of the “revenuers” who gave his a number of seals. After that, he could make whiskey to his heart’s content as long as he was sure the kettle was upside down and sealed for inspection. In this way he became one of the wealthiest men in the community. James and Martha are buried in the McClung farm cemetery with her parents, Will and Mary Callison McClung. | Crane, James Amos (I40)

Excerpt from Feature: February 7, 1996; Princeton Alumni Weekly: The Chapel of Love - For Thousands of Tigers It's the One and Only Place
By Caroline Moseley
When you have walked the long, long aisle of the Princeton University Chapel, or awaited your bride in the chancel; "[W]hen you have taken your wedding vows in that place of size and beauty," says Earnest Gordon, dean of the Chapel, emeritus, "you have been well and truly married."
Yearly, between 65 and 80 couples walk down that aisle. It measures 225 feet, according to Chapel Administrator David Chewning, "depending on how close to the altar the couple advances." Dedicated in 1928, the Chapel has seen three generations of brides and grooms, and of all aspects of its majestic interior - the vaulted nave, the prismatic richness of stained glass - it is the aisle that most sticks in their minds. Virginia Starr Myers walked down it on June 17, 1931, escorted by her father, Professor William Starr Myers, to wed the late Edward C. Kohlsaat '31. President John Grier Hibbin 1882 performed the ceremony. When asked about her clearest memory of that event 65 years ago, she answers immediately, "Walking down that long aisle in my wedding dress, holding my father's arm." | Family: Edward Christian Kohlsaat / Virginia Starr Myers (F1167)
