WASHINGTON SHEARER AND HIS WIFE, LAURA JANE PRINCE MOVED TO PROPHETSTOWN AROUND 1883. THEY CAME WITH SIX CHILDREN WHO WERE BORN IN WV. THE CHILDREN WERE; JOHN, LILLIE, IDA, LILAH, SUSAN, AND GRACE. WASHINGTON AND LAURA HAD FIVE MORE CHILDREN WHO WERE BORN IN PROPHETSTOWN. THEY WERE; GEORGE, FRANK, BRACE, LOUIS, AND A BABY THAT I HAVE NO DATA ON. I HAVE LIMITED DATA ON MOST OF THE CHILDREN EXCEPT IDA ELIZABETH SHEARER WHO WAS IN PROPHETSTOWN THROUGH THE 1910 CENSUS AND THAT IS WHERE I LOST HER. WASHINGTON AND LAURA ARE BURIED IN PROPHETSTOWN ALONG WITH THEIR DAUGHTER SUSAN WHO HAD MARRIED ROY CROOK. THEY LIVED ON MAIN STREET WHERE SUSAN HAD A DRESS SHOP AND ROY HAD BECOME A SHERIFF. WASHINGTON AND LAURA WERE MY GG GRANDPARENTS AND GRACE WAS MY G GRANDMOTHER. I AM LOOKING FOR INFO ON THIS LINE AND HAVE SOME INFO I WOULD LOVE TO SHARE.
