  Hi everyone,

  I am trying to decipher what my husband's great grandfather did in 1910.  Would some of you try to decipher the information.  I would like to know the place of birth of James Crocker's Mother, and the "general nature of industry", the occupation of Horace (I think he had just graduated from High School), and the place of birth of Franklin's Father (it was somewhere in Germany).

   

  Thanks!  James and Franklin's Father are two of my brick walls.

  Ancestry's page is not scanned too well.  Here is the address.

  For those with Heritage they are in Illinois, Cook, Chicago Ward 6, District 333, sheet 4.
