I have two handwritten letters, one dated Sep 7, 1906 and the other is dated October 8, 1906. Both are signed Mrs. John H. Cole and the 'return' address is Box 60, Valatie, Col Co, N.Y. The first letter states "Before I was married was Elizabeth Dennis..." I know from what family research that I have done, she was the mother of Kate Elizabeth (Aby), born 13 June 1852 in Kinderhook, NY. This is from the death certificate of Kate Elizabeth which also states that her FOSTER father is Ernest Greissler. The letter also asks "How is Katy & Uncle Ernest...." She also says "one year ago last first day of May I lost my Husband..........I lost my husband & my Father & my Gradddaughter all less than onr year" - This would possibly indicate that John H. Cole died May 1, 1905. In the second letter, she talks about her brothers and sisters: "John is out west someshere.........Ike lives here in Chatham, Ira lives in Chatham Center & Frank the youngest is dead. Anna lives in Chatham & keeps boardinghouse. She is an old maid. Seena the youngest girl lives out east in Wooster." I would appreciate any information on Elizabeth (Dennis) Cole and family.
