    3. Lula was born 27 Aug 1885 in Armstrong Co. She died 1 Jul 1939 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, PA. Her first marriage was in Pittsburgh on 14 Sep 1910 to Burdette MEAD [Alexander Burdette Meade? - probably]. They had the following children: Goldie [md a ---LEWIS], Helen [md a --- BROWN], and Emma [md a --- BODEN]. I'm speculating that Emma was born 18 May 1912 and died 23 Jul 1990, and that Helen was born 25 Jan 1914 and died 17 Apr 1992. The speculation is based upon Social Securtiy Death Index entries. Lula's first husband appears to have deceased or a divorce occurred sometime before 1934. Sometime after 1934 - specific date is not known - she became the wife of Isreal COLES. According to funeral home records, she is buried alongside Isreal in an unmarked grave. She was buried 3 Jul 1939 in Mt. Royal Cemetery in Glenshaw, Allegheny, PA. Her death certificate lists her as Lula COLE(S), and the cause of death was chronic myocarditis. Her obituary is listed in the "Pittsburgh Post Gazette" on 3 Jul 1939. It references her daughters - Mrs. Helen Lewis, Mrs. Goldie Brown, and Mrs. Emma Boden. My first objective is to determine a date and place of marriage for Isreal and Lula. It does not appear to have been filed in Allegheny County. The second objective is to learn details about the descendants of Lula, with the possibility of making contact with them. Our relationship is through Isreal COLES and his first wife. Will exchange information. Toni Richard Turk P.O. Box 667 Blanding, UT 84511 turkt@do.sanjuan.k12.ut.us
