Funeral Card Friday: William James McCroskey

 

We recently upgraded our internet to Fios, so of course the tech guy had to have access to the computer... which meant I had to go through the piles of genealogy stuff on the desk and put them away properly.  (I know!  I know!  I should have done that in the first place!)  While putting things away, I ended up looking through my entire McCroskey folder.  (You must admit, its far more enjoyable to allow yourself to get distracted and pour through your genealogical treasures than it is to put them all away!)  While doing so, I ran across a portrait of William James McCroskey.  I've written about him before -- in August I posted a biography found in one of my great-grandfather's notebooks with the above mentioned portrait.  It can be found here if you're interested.  I also found his funeral card (which I knew I had) and his obituary (which I didn't realize I had) glued into another of A.J. Doran's notebooks.

 

SNGF: What's Your Halloween Personality?

 
Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings has given us our mission for some Saturday Night Genealogy Fun.  Obviously, I have decided to accept the mission.  If you'd like to take the quiz too, just pop on over to http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyourhalloweenpersonalityquiz/

 

According to this quiz, I See Halloween as Scary.  Here's what it said about me: 

   

You're a friendly person, but not the life of the party. You like making someone else's day - and you'll dress up if you think of a really fun costume.

 

You definitely think of yourself as someone who has a dark side. And part of having that dark side means not showing it.

 

Your inner child is open minded, playful, and adventurous.

 

You fear people taking advantage for you. You are always worried about protecting your own interests.

 

You're prone to be quite emotional and over dramatic. Deep down, you enjoy being scared out of your mind... even if you don't admit it.

 

You are a total overachiever and workaholic. You're the type of person who plans their elaborate Halloween costume weeks in advance.
