John and Loretta (Knapp) McCREERY, had two children:
(One of his daughters is a stenographer to Congressman D.B. HENDERSON of Iowa in 1893, but we don't know if it was Flora or Lulu?)

1)Flora MC CREERY b. in abt 1860 in IA., d. died Apr 5, 1924 in Washington DC. Flora was very active in Society groups. Including The Columbia Heights Art Club and was President of the Excelsior Literary Club. In Washington D.C.

Had probably had at least one child
(or is this Lulu SPERRY's)
1)Blanche L. McCREERY m. Charles H. Moore.?)

2)Julia (Lulu E. /Louise?) MC CREERY b. in abt 1869 in IA. m. May 1891 in Baltimore, Maryland Arthur B. SPERRY b. abt 1865. Believed lived in Pittsburgh in 1905 and at 1255 New Hampshire Ave, Washington D.C. in about 1924.
1255 New Hampshire Ave seems to be the address of and apartment building called the "Hamilton House". near George Washington University and Dupont Circle. Arthur's parent were, Publisher, Andrew Fuller Sperry b: in Knoxville, Iowa Mother: Hannah Lavilla Bassett b: 11 Apr 1841 in Plymouth, Ohio

LuLu McCREERY Sperry was a literary woman of high talent and was identified with the staff of the Pittsburgh Sun. Her attainments as a writer has won her some recognition from the leading magazines in which articles from her facile pen have frequently appeared.

Arthur was Vice Consul for USA, Journalist and a Broker. a representative of the Washington Investment Company, Both Lulu and Arthur died Aft. 1915 or 1925 in probably in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania? or Washington D.C unless they retired to IA.
