Research status

Research status: PROBABLE as a daughter of George Albert Chrane and Lucy C. Coffman Chrane. The evidence is strong: the index of the Texas death records gives her mother as Lucy C. Coffman, and the indexes of the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses of Callahan County list her as a daughter in the Chrane household S1726S1717S1723. It stays Probable because every record is an index: no image has been read.

Evidence: The index of the Texas death records gives Lucille Odelle, born 17 November 1906, died 6 October 1998 in Taylor County, with her mother named as Lucy C. Coffman; the indexes of the 1910, 1920 and 1930 censuses of Callahan County list her as a daughter in the household of George A. Chrane (S1726, S1717, S1723). The evidence is strong. Weak or missing: Every record is an index and no image has been read; her father is named by the census households only; no birth record, death certificate or obituary has been read.

The 1910 and 1920 census indexes that name the couple are at S1717. Serves the card of George Albert Chrane; three of his children have cards of their own (S1726).
  3. S1726Indexes — three children of George Albert Chrane and Lucy C. Coffman Chrane, Callahan and Taylor Counties, Texas, 1906–1998.

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.
