Allan, So nice to hear from you. I am the Warner Family Historian. I know that your Mother and Aunt Joyce have been looking for information about Ward Cole a few years ago, have you asked them what they found? Let me know if you still need more information and I will see what I can find this summer. Sue Allan Leslie <Allan@tularosa.net> wrote: My Grandfather, Maurice Nelson Cole, was born 21 July 1895 in Waverly, Lackawanna Co. His father, Ward Beecher Cole disappeared about 1900, give or take a few years--no one in the family knows what happened to him. Maurice is shown in 1920 census as married to Francico, with two children, and in the WWI draft registration he claims a wife. The 1930 census indicates that he is then married to Rena Warner, my maternal grandmother. Does anyone have any information or ideas as to who Francico was, what happened to her, where she's buried? Is this Maurice even the same as my grandfather? And, any hints about what might have become of Ward Beecher Cole? I hope someone can help me, as I live in south central New Mexico, and getting back to do my own research is a mite difficult. Thanks!
