This Chronicle traces what came after Karl Creelman’s death — the lives of those who carried his name forward.

Drawing from estate records, marriage certificates, newspaper notices, and family accounts, this post follows Karl’s wife Marjorie, their daughter Margaret, and the generations that followed. It is a story marked by remarriage, loss, separation, and reconnection — including a decades-long search by Karl’s grandson to uncover his mother’s identity and his connection to the globetrotting grandfather he never knew.

The Epilogue brings Karl’s family history to a close, documenting what became of his descendants and how fragments of his story resurfaced generations later. It leaves us at the threshold of what comes next — not Karl’s life, but the life shaped by following his trail.
