Ernesto Garcia Cabral (1890 - 1968) Research
Juan Carlos Huergo
He was born in Paris, France, on May 25, 1889 and died in Buenos Aires on September 10, 1962. Painter, draftsman, lithographer and illustrator, he settled in Argentina in 1890 and became nationalized in 1911. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Paris and Buenos Aires.
Donn Philip Crane 1878 - 1944
- grand-daughter
- Ann
Donn married in 1911, began his family with a daughter in 1912, and a son, also named Donn Philip Crane, in 1915 ( the father of Ann).
From his grand-daughters telling, Donn P. Crane was born in Missouri in 1878, the son of Day Otis Crane. Day Otis Crane, a failed miner, was unable to provide the stability so essential to childhood; perhaps young Donn retreated early on into the magical world of illustration for a sense of security and solace. I hope so.
From Missouri the family moved to Washington D.C. when young Donn was two; another move, this time to to Idaho was where a sister and two brothers were born, unfortunately the brothers did not survive. The Crane family ultimately settled in Chicago sometime before 1890.

Robert O. Reid
Robert O. Reid (1890 - 1947): American luminary of the golden age of magazine illustration from the 1920s through the 1940s.
b. 1890 died 1947
wife Yonda (died in 1991)
Robert Reid's son (Alan Thornton Reid), daughter-in-law (Bettina) and namesake grand son, Robert Reid
Robert O. (Ogden) Reid: I found a short bio by Tom Pierce in issue no. 69 of Illustrator: Reid's son reported that his father had been born out of wedlock in 1890. His mother was left to bring him up alone in Pittsburgh having been abandoned by both her own and the father's families, but she died when he was only 9. He was taken in by an unenthusiastic relative but spent much of his time living in a YMCA. He seems to have overcome this sad start to life and had a cracking career until a heart attack at 41, after which he continued to draw and paint from his bed while cheerfully chain smoking. He died in 1947.
