back to genealogy pedigree chart
WIFE

Name: Miranda Miller
 Church:
Born: ca. 1835
Place/Notes: New York State
Married: Alexander Crim
 Place/Notes: [New York State]
Died: 2 February 1912
 Place/Notes: Rochester, Monroe County, New York
Note regarding will: Miranda's will (Miranda Crim) was probated in Washington State in 1953 or 54. See pdf of documents related to the will and its disposition.
Buried:
Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester, Monroe County, New York
Occupation:

Residence: New York 1860 Notes: 1860 Census shows an Alexander C____ as being 25: his wife Miranda as being 21 years of age. That would give her a birth year as 1839 which would not totally fit with the rest of the documentation. However the 1885 census marks her birth year as 1837; while 1910 census would calculate her birth year as 1834. So whether or not this is a record of the correct Alexander Crim and Miranda - it is clear that census (see 1910 and 1885) do not always support one another and since the information is taken orally and from various members of the family it is quite possible that names are misspelled and ages are misreported.
Residence:
Iowa		 Dates:
1866		 Notes:
Inferred based on 1910 census listing daughter Alice as being 44 and having been born in Iowa -- however, there is some question. Some records indicate that Alice was born in Rochester, NY in 1860.
Sand Springs, Delaware, Iowa
1885

Notes: Listed as 48 years of age and living with son Arthur Crim and Fannie Oeschger and their two children - 1885 census Miranda Crim is listed as widow.
Monticello, Jones, Iowa
 1895
 Notes: Listed as 55 years of age (clearly an error in age somewhere here - as the 1885 census listed Miranda as being 48; however, TEN years later she has only aged 7 years. The census source for this is: Iowa. 1895 Iowa State Census. Des Moines, Iowa: State Historical Society of Iowa.
Rochester, New York 1907-1909 Notes: Listed in Rochester 1907 City Directory (h. 417 exchange Atkinson), page 213; same listing in 1908, page 217; 1909 directory, page 224. Allie travers is listed at the same address and indicates that she is the widow of "Elmer E." Leslie is living there as well (works as a telegrapher in 1907).
Rochester, New York
 1910 census

Notes: This record indicates that Miranda Grim (sic) (age 76, widowed, born in New York) is living with her daughter Alice M.Travers (age 44, born in Iowa, married -- note that in the city directories she is listed as widow -- and head of household) in a rented house. Alice's son Leslie C. (age 20, born in Canada, but immigrated to the USA in 1890, single) is also living there and working in a furniture store. In most other documents Alice is listed as "Allie."
New York State
 admitted to poorhouse 8 June 1910 (Her daughter with whom she had been living died 26 Jun 1910. Inference is that Alice "Allie" was in failing health herself and could no longer care for her mother).
