I've "rescued" an old birth announcement for Geo Stewert SOCKRIDER who was born 3 Sept. 1910 in Indiana. His parents were Mr. & Mrs. SOCKRIDER. The announcement was mailed to Mr. & Mrs. Harry Rainar. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding the family.
George Stewat or Stewert SOCKIDER was born in Ligonier, IN to parents Dale SOCKRIDER and Grace MACHAMER. George married Margaret Ann CROOKS (b. 7 Oct. 1910 in Ege, IN to parents Ora CROOKS and Dorthy LEAHY) on 31 Jan 1931 in Garret, IN and together they had three children. George died in Dec. 1985 in DeKalb, IN and is buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Auburn, IN.
