  • Name Claire William CRAVENS 
    Birth 26 Feb 1891  Princeton, Mille Lacs, Minnesota, United States Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2
    • Military registration states year of birth as 1890 which appears to be in error given the year of birth of his older brother Clyde (April 1889). It seems more likely that the year of 1891, which is included in the Minnesota death index, is most probably correct, and also correlates with the year provided by Claire's nephew, Richard Cravens.
