Biography

Latha was born about 1905 in Texas to Lee Carriker and Jennie Roberts. The siblings would be Unnamed Carriker ^[1],Edith Carriker ^[2][1], Latha Carriker ^[2][3], and Nettie Lorene Carriker (1913-1972)^[3]

In 1910^[2] the family was living in Wynnewood, Garvin County, Oklahoma and in the home were Lee R Cariker(42 head), Thursie Cariker(32 Wife), Edith Cariker(11 daughter), and Latha Cariker(5 daughter)

In 1920^[3] the family had moved to Golden Way in Dinuba, Tulare County, California nd in the home were Thursie Carriker(42 head), Lettia Carriker(15 daughter), and Nettie Carriker(6 daughter).

She would marry Robert Raymond Crawford and they would have:

1. Radine Crawford (1925-1925)^[4][5]
2. Shirley May Crawford^[6]

Some trees show she died about 1960, but further evidence needs to support for that. I suspect she actually died on the 17th of May, 1929 in Ventura, California^[7] and is buried in the Ivy Lawn Memorial Park in Ventura, Ventura County, California^[8]

Mrs. Letha Crawford, Santa Paula, died at the general hospital of tuberculosis last night^[9]
