  	NOTE:I don't know whether or not you are interested in posting a comment regarding a possible discrepancy. It looks like the biographical text on this page came from a brief obituary. The State of Illinois marriage index indicates that Waterhouse Crackel and Elizabeth Wise were married on January 4, 1865. This is not a marriage license that I've obtained so I can't state that the date in the index is absolutely correct, and I have found an occasional error in that index. Marcia Farina: 46945176
