Find-a-Grave Memorial # 5722509:
John David Craddock was the son of Thomas Elmore Craddock, Jr., & Malinda Lanius. Their family moved from Fredericktown, Madison Co., MO to Honey Grove, Fannin Co., TX about 1849. John married Sarah Ellen Rainbolt in Meridian, Bosque Co., TX on Oct 21, 1877. They lived in Bosque Co. for many years, then in Oklahoma for a while, then back in Texas. They must have bought the cemetery plot while living in OK; for although they both lived in Texas when they died, they were taken to Highland Cemetery for burial.
Comment on Find-a-Grave: Although John D. Craddock died in Goliad, Texas, the census does not indicate that he and his wife were living there at that time. The census indicates that they lived for a substantial period of time in Marlow, Oklahoma, and the death certificate indicates that Sarah Craddock was living in Oklahoma in 1922 when her husband died. Lawton is in Comanche Co., which adjoins Stephens Co.
