Thanks to Eileen, Cathy, and Barb, who all sent suggestions re LYTLE. I will
put them in my new LYTLE file.

I am just beginning on this line. All I know is what I found in the obituary
notice for Margaret CRAIGHEAD, nee LYTLE, as follows:

"[She was] the widow of James A. CRAIGHEAD, died Sept.18, 1903, at her
home, No. 831 Second Ave. Beaver Falls, ...from the infirmaties of age and
general debility.....one of the oldest residents of this place. She was a
daughter of Isaac LYTLE and wife, and was born near Elizabeth, PA in
1813.....In 1829 she was married to James Alexander CRAIGHEAD, and for a
number of years resided at Elizabeth, where he was engaged as a ship
carpenter. She was the mother of four sons, Robert A. and John F. of this
place, Garrett McC., late of White Township, and Judson, of Bloomingsburg,
O. In 1871 the family moved to this place....She was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church, ...Funeral services will be held at the
Methodist Episcopal church...interment will be in Grandview cemetery."

We found a large prominent monument at Grandview for Margaret and James and
their son Robert. What a thrill!
