• Notes

  Walter Prentice Crockett Married Alice Philomena Donnelly around 1941(not sure). Alice’s Mother's maiden name was Bonner, I think. Walter Graduated Lehigh University in 1936 Industrial engineering was an avid wrestler, also ran track and played football. He worked for Bethlehem Steel Co. for 45 years until he retired in 1976. Walter started with Bethlehem Steel right out of college in Bethlehem. Then after WWII took a job in Philadelphia as a salesman in the RR division and loved it. Then moved from a historic farm that he and my mother had purchased in Bucks County Pennsylvania to a small town outside of Philadelphia called Aldan and lived there until he died in 1984 at 72 years of age. Alice died in 1990 at the age of 72.Walter and Alice had four children, Judith Bonner Crockett who married Joseph Curran, Alice (Candy) Adele Crockett who married James Rutter, Jeannie Palmer Crockett and Scott Prentice(born in 1958), who married Ann Marie Oneal. Judy went to Wilson Girls College in Chambersburg Pa, Candy and Jeannie went to Eastern Baptist College near Rosemont Pa and Scott went to Slippery Rock University in Slippery Rock Pa.
