I have virtually no information about my paternal grandmother, Miriam K. Ladd née Cook. This is the information I have from SSDI: Miriam Ladd, b. 13 May 1878, New Sharon Iowa, d/o Wm. Henry Cook and Mary Jane Call d. August 1962, Delaware All the same information is on her SS application with this one additional bit of info: Miriam Kate Ladd (née Cook) While looking through old papers, I found a place where I had scribbled down the following information: Miriam Katherine Cook (Ladd) born in New Sharon Iowa, May 13, 1878. Frank Cook -- brother Mabel Cook -- sister Cook 150 Ivy Avenue Hollywood California I have been infamous for jotting down notes while talking to relatives then losing those papers. This once I did recover a tiny bit of info, but have no idea if it came from my Aunt Bernice or my mother. Also, I don't know if the info on the brother or sister's names, my grandmother's middle name, nor the old address from California might have been accurate. *sigh* If anyone has any info on my grandma, please email me! ~Lee S.
