Biography
Cora was born May 27, 1882 in Roane, West Virginia.[1] She married Harry Marks in 1906[2] and they had at least three children: Mabel, Mildred, and Merle and/or Muriel (See note).[3][4] She passed away in Charleston, West Virginia in 1967.[5][6]
Research Notes
- The 1920 Census shows a one-year-old son named Murl (Merle).
- The 1930 Census shows an eleven-year-old daughter named Muriel.
Is this the same person and the 1920 census enumerator made a mistake?
