Research status

Research status: PROBABLE as a daughter of George Albert Chrane and Lucy C. Coffman Chrane. The evidence is strong: the indexes of the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses of Callahan County list her as a daughter in the Chrane household, in 1910 as “Cassie O.” S1726S1717S1723. It stays Probable because every record is an index, no image has been read, and no record of her own names her parents: the link rests on the three households.

Evidence: The indexes of the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses of Callahan County list her as a daughter in the household of George A. and Lucy C. Chrane, in 1910 as Cassie O.; the Find a Grave index gives her birth on 8 November 1908 and her death on 15 June 1988 (S1726, S1717, S1723). The evidence is strong. Weak or missing: Every record is an index and no image has been read; no record of her own names her parents; both dates rest on one grave index, and no place of death is known. Not yet confirmed.

  3. S1726Indexes — three children of George Albert Chrane and Lucy C. Coffman Chrane, Callahan and Taylor Counties, Texas, 1906–1998.

Only the first entry names a parent, and it names the mother alone; the other two children are tied to the couple by the census households. The second child’s dates rest on one grave index, with no place of death. It does not settle the day of the son’s birth, which a family history printed in 1940 gives as 17 November (S1222). Serves the cards of Lucille Odelle Chrane, Carey Oletta Chrane and Leo George Chrane.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
