Creaky noise???

Look Ma, No Hands!
I recently picked up a 1936 Cleveland made bike with rear Morrow hub. When I pedal with weight/force it makes a creaky noise. I had the hub rebuilt and greased the front sprocket berrings. It still creaks! When I have it on a stand and pedal there is no noise. It’s hard to tell where exactly the noise is coming from. Any idea what may be my nemesis?
Thanks,
 
I pulled the bottom bracket apart and greased the berrings. It seemed fine. There was some wear on the cups, but not bad.
The chain was not dry and I oiled it up too.
Do you think that the chain has stretched? Would it make that kinda noise?
 
One more thing- take a picture of the the adjusting cone / locknut in relation to the frame cup. As far as height.Us the adjustment. Cone flush with the cup or does it sit below the bearing. Cup rim.ill take a pic of my 36 since I ha be it upside down. But first I'm gonna ride it to get some ice cream.

Well, I took the bottom bracket apart. Here are some photos of the cups.
