Query Text:

George Mack RILEY, my lost cousin, is the person I am trying to locate.His last known address was 5924 S Osage St, Wichita, KS 67217 when his father died in 1968. Here is the history of my ancestors. My grandmother was Mary Josephine CRAUGHEN; she was born 31 May 1881 in Ottawa, Franklin County, Kansas and died 25 Jan 1951 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. She married my grandfather, Thomas Patrick RILEY, 26 Feb 1906 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. Thomas Patrick RILEY was born 14 Oct 1873 in California (per the 1920 Arkansas Census) and died 09 May 1953 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. My father's name was William Edward RILEY, b. 12 May 1916 d. 24 Oct 1967 both in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas. He and my mother, Mildred Viola SILMON, (b, 22 Aug 1918 Grubbs, Jackson County, Arkansas and d. 07 Jun 1988 in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas) were married 30 Apr 1938 in Fort Smith, AR. William Edward RILEY was in the Navy in WWII (Squadron 466) and he is buried in the National Cemetery in Fort Smith, Arkansas. George "Mack" RILEY's father was George Matthew RILEY b. 04 Sep 1911 d. 03 Jun 1968 in the VA Hospital in Wichita, Kansas. William Edward RILEY and George Matthew RILEY had 5 additional siblings, Margaret "Pete" RILEY HOMAN, Susan RILEY STRODE KELLY, Thomas RILEY Jr., John RILEY, known as Bud, and Paul RILEY. We have lost all contact with Uncle George Matthew "Toad" RILEY’s son, George Mack RILEY. We believe he is in Kansas. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Barbara King
