Canniff, Charles Lester-Wisconsin
Charles Lester Canniff (our grandfather) lived in Beloit, WI.He married Charlotte (we believe Risdon - who was orginally from Hopkinton, NY).He was a Spanish - American War hero fought in the Philippians and was known as an interior Decorator.He travelled around but his home was in Beloit.He died on October 22, 1924 and left three children.Charlotte (known as Aunt Gus), Frances E (she was a part of the Japanese Death Batton March in the war, contracted malaryia while serving as a LT in the army).And last our father - Earle Risdon Canniff.We have an article from the Beloit Daily Newspaper datedMarch 27, 1945 listing both our Aunt Frances and our father Cpl Earle Canniff (he was with the army aircore which later came to be the air force).The article was about our Aunt being assigned to the Mayo General hospital, in Galesburg, Illinois.Our grandmother Charlotte Canniff at the time lived in Milton.Our aunt Frances was a nurse at the Beloit hospital prior to entering the service.
This is all the information we have, if you can help in anyway of any information regarding the Canniff surname we would greatly appreciate it.Thanks in advance - Patrice Canniff
