Craig Miner Francis was born on the 8th of January, 1894 in Ferndale, California. His parents were Frederick L. Francis and Almeda E. Miner who had married each other on the 21st of December, 1892 in Humbolt, California.
Craig married Nancy Emma Dozier on the 21st of December, 1916 in Portland, Oregon.
In 1920 Craig was living with his wife in Portland, Oregon. By 1930 his mother in law had moved in with them and they were still living in Portland, Oregon.
In the 1940 US Census Craig is listed as living with his mother, "A. E. Frances" and his marital status is single. They also have 14 year old Frederick Frances living in the household listed as a grandson of "A.E. Frances."
Craig Miner Francis passed away on the 8th of March, 1970 in Portland, Oregon.[1]
Timeline
Research Notes
So here on WikiTree there were two profiles added as the wife of Craig Miner Francis by another WikiTree member. "Emma Francis" and Nancy A. Francis."
I believe the two profiles represent the same person, Nancy Emma Dozier. The only source for the "Emma Francis" profile is the 1930 US Census which lists Craig M Francis, 35 year old male, Emma Francis, 36 year old female and then Nancy G Dozier as 70 year old female mother in law. However I belive that Emma Francis is the same person as the wife of Craig, Nancy Emma Dozier.
Additionally both of the Find A Grave profiles for Craig and Nancy do not indicate any other spouses for either one.
