  Vernon County Death Index	V21, P203

  Notes	Frank’s father was born in England and his mother in Ohio according to the 1900 and 1910 censuses. Living in Franklin Twp in the 1900 census. Although Frank is shown in the 1910 census as having only been married to Prudence (“M1”), there is a gravestone in the Brookville Cemetery for a Lillian Crook “27 y 2 m 12 d wife of W.F. Crook.” Lillian’s maiden name is indicated in the church records as Aikens. Buried with this Lillian is Eula May Crook, 19 Mar 1895 - 8 Sep 1907. This Eula May is shown as living with her grandparents, Charles and Isabelle Aikins, in Readstown, Vernon County, at the time of the 1900 census. Not too far away from the Aikinses (on the same census page) is the William Crook family (with wife Catharine, 45, and daughter Pora, 16, along with Minnie and Edward Potter and Harold and Fred Crook). William and Catharine had been married for 30 years and are the parents of William Frank Crook. In the 1880 census, the William and Katherine Crook family farm is only a few farms away from the Clouse Bowe farm. Neither Eula nor Lillian are listed in the index of Vernon County deaths. Either this William Crook, or, possibly his father if he was also William, helped to build the Readstown United Methodist Church in 1900.
