Craine and Dale in Blue Rapids, KS 1925

Thanks to a hint provided by Ancestry.com, this week I discovered that Frank Earnest Dale and his wife Mazie Hublitz were residing in Blue Rapids, Kansas in 1925. I knew that my step-father Donald Lee Craine was born in Blue Rapids in 1925. The 1925 Kansas Census shows these families:

Dale, Mazie, age 26, born in KS
Dale, Calvin W., age 1, born in KS

Craine L. O. (Leonard Oscar), age 39, Blacksmith, res: 306 Lincoln St.
Craine, Mary, age 31
Craine, Eunice, age 10
Craine, Raymond, age 4
Unborn: Craine, Donald Lee (born Oct. 1925)

Frank and Mazie Dale were the grandparents of my son’s birth mother. And Donald Craine married my mother in Oct. 1953. So my step-father lived in the same town in 1925 where my son’s grandparents were living. This amazes
me.
