Mr. President. 100 years ago. on May 21. 1890. Mae Croak was born in the city of Chicago. Ultimately she had the good sense to move to Wisconsin and. as a result. I have the good fortune to represent her in the Senate. In recognition of her birthday. I rise to pay a small tribute to her today. Maes mother. born Catherine Anastasia Jackson. was an Irish woman who emigrated to our country from London in 1880. Her father. Thomas Francis Croak. was a "true American." having been born on the Fourth of July in 1864. Mae was the third of nine children. and after the early death of her father and eldest sister. much of the responsibility for raising this clan fell on her shoulders.
