  Father	Nathaniel Cross,   b. Dec 1828, Tioga County, New York ,   d. 14 Jun 1907, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois  (Age ~ 78 years)

  Married	11 Aug 1848	Vestal, Broome County, New York   [4, 5, 6]
  Notes	Nathaniel Cross, a mason like his father, helped build towns in five states -- New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Illinois. He met Samantha Harding in Binghamton, N.Y., where they married and had most of their five children. They moved west with their family, following parents and siblings to the upper Midwest. After their children were grown, they moved again, to Dakota Territory, to a pioneer town that never quite took hold. They ended up back in Chicago.

  Family	Clinton Ansley,   b. 3 Jun 1850, Seneca, Ontario County, New York ,   d. 7 May 1931, St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota  (Age 80 years)
  Married	3 Jun 1874	Rochester, Olmsted County, Minnesota   [7, 8, 9]
  Notes	Clinton Ansley was born on his parents' farm near Geneva, N.Y. When he was about 10, his parents sold out and moved to the frontier, a river town in western Wisconsin. There he met Ella Cross, another New York native, whose parents had resettled in Minnesota. For a few years Clinton ran a dry goods store with his brother, but then he became a wholesaler and apparently struggled financially. He and Ella raised their two sons in a series of boarding houses in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Genio also went into grocery wholesaling, and Frank went into banking and insurance.
