Elizabeth was married at least twice and had at least eleven children, two of whom succumbed to death as infants.
The young Crain family moved from Delaware, Ohio to 1745 Columbus Avenue, Springfield, Ohio in 1912. [4]
In 1937, a lawsuit was filed against Elizabeth Crain McDaniel by The Merchants and Mechanics Federal Savings and Loan Association for foreclosure on the Crain home located at 2149 Larch Street, Springfield, Clark County, Ohio. [5] Edwin B. Arthur was appointed by the Clark County (Ohio) Common Pleas Court as guardian of Phyllis Jane (Crain) Wright named as Phylis Crain Wright in the suit, Betty Marie Crain named as Elizabeth Crain in the suit, Donna Ellen Crain named as Donald Crain in the suit, Eunice Erdine (Crain) named as Eunice Crain in the suit, and Dorothy Mae Crain named as Dorothy Crain in the suit. [6] The home was auctioned by the Clark County (Ohio) Sheriff on 11 Dec 1937. [7][8]
In 1942, Mary and Willard were residing at 22 East Columbia, Springfield, Clark County, Ohio. [9]

Is Mary Elizabeth your ancestor? Please don't go away! Login to collaborate or comment, or ask our community of genealogists a question.
I'm interested in your source for her death. I can only find evidence of her between her 1910 marriage to Jim Crain and the last census she was on is 1930, the year Jim died. After that her children ended up in the Odd Fellow home and I found the youngest 2 girls in the 1940 census listed as inmates there. I have not been able to figure out what happened to Elizabeth though. I would appreciate any help.
Hello, Allison. I have updated the profile for Maryann Elizabeth Rice with several sources that should answer the question you originally asked in 2022.
