Notes for Mabel Anna Cole:
General Notes:
My Grandmother Mable Ann Field and Her Sister Viola lived their whole lifes in Oakland, County.

When her and Vie were young girls they live in Troy, MI still part of Oakland County. This would have been during the depression of 1929, when their parents had enough land to have a garden and chickens. The girls worked the garden, took care of chickens, did the house work and cooking while their mother Nellie Cole worked days as a maid for a well to do family in Detroit. Their father Frank owned a dump truck and drove to a location where some DPW work was taking place. His truck was loaded with dirt and he hauled it to a dump site. Nellie and Frank worked through the depression this way and never went with out food. This is just a story I remember hearing, they were proud to have been able to have taken care of there family this way.

Subject: Cole Family Tree

Dear Cole Family;

My name is William L. Millard and I live in Durham, North Carolina and I am researching my Cole side of my family. Every family has a story to tell and I am searching for mine. Growing up the son of a career serviceman I never established roots, so now that I am about to turn fifty I am attempting to capture something that most people take for granted. Learning about where I came from, seeing photos of family members and hearing their stories has brought new meaning to me. I would love for you to write me or email me with anything that would help me learn more about my Cole roots.

My Cole family tree originates with Frederick Cole; he was born 22 May 1835 in Hornellsville, Steuben County, New York. He is found in the 1850 Federal Census living with William D. Burdick, wife Hannah and their six children. Interesting fact; the family were carpenters, and on Frederick's death certificate as well as his Civil War Pension application it is listed as his occupation as a carpenter. In 1861 Frederick is living in Cook County, Illinois and on August 1st he enlisted into the Army. He enlisted as a private with Company K, 59th Illinois Infantry Regiment and served until 16 Feb 1863 when he was disablity discharged in Detroit, Michigan. He married Elsie Jane Parker on 13 Mar 1864 in Amsden, Montcalm County Michigan. The 1870 and 1880 Federal Census has him living in Fairplain, Montcalm County where he lived until they show up on the 1894 Michigan State and 1900 Federal Census Living in Edmore Village, Montcalm County. They are found in the 1910 Federal Census in Greenville, Ward 2, Michigan. They moved after the census to the "Old Soldiers Home" in Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan. He died 3 Aug 1912 in the Kalamazoo State Hospital and is buried in Green Cemetery, in lot 30 in the older part of the cemetery, east side closest to the church. His death certificate states that his father was a Solomon Cole of New York, mother unknown. According to Frederick Cole's Civil War pension paper's he was born in Howard, Steuben County in 1834, and he had a sister named Eliza Brunson/Bronson wife of Thomas Brunson, who lived in Montcalm County, Michigan.

From the union of Frederick and Elsie Jane (Parker) Cole came eight children all born in Montcalm County, Michigan, they are: Ella Eleanor Cole, born 22 Jan 1865, her death is unknown to me. She married Homer Eugene Blodgett and had at least one son; Hiram Cole, who was born 10 Sep 1866, and died before 1870; James Henry Cole, was born 18 Sep 1868, who married Emma J. Parker, and died 9 Aug 1925 in Greenville, Montcalm County, Michigan; Huldah Udelley Cole, who was born 18 Jul 1871, and married three times and had children from two of them. They were Jerry C. Brown (a daughter), Frances M. Coleman (no children), and James F. Ovenhouse (a son). She died 10 Dec 1911 in Ionia County, Michigan; Calvin H. Cole, who was born 18 Oct 1875, he married Gracie Mae Storey and had five children, and he died 15 Apr 1919 in Montcalm County; Miloe Frederick Cole, who was born 16 Oct 1876, he died in his youth on 12 Feb 1882 in Montcalm County after being struck by a falling tree; Florence Elsie May Cole, she was born 19 Jul 1878, and married Lumon E. Cole, they had three children. Her date of death is unknown at this time; finally my Great-Great-Grandfather Orin Daniel "Bert" Cole, who was born 13 Oct 1869, and who married Anna Rebecca Zimmerman and had five children (four boys, one girl). Orin Cole died in Royal Oak, Michigan on 14 Oct 1928. Both Bert and Anna are buried at the Royal Oak Cemetery.

Bert and Anna's children were: Donald H. Cole, born 18 Feb 1894 in Ionia County, he married Annie L. Chart and they had two children. He died in Marin, California on 30 Jun 1978; Mabel Cole, who was born 19 Jul 1895, in Ionia County; she married Renaud S. Harbaugh and had one daughter. Her death is unknown; Elmer Cole, who was born 18 Sep 1904 in Montcalm County, he married Olive Pauline Learned, he died in San Antonio, Texas on 24 Jul 1985; Leonard P. Cole, who was born 15 Apr 1907 in Oakland County, Michigan, he married Margaret Weaver and they had three children. He died in Oakland County, Michigan on 24 May 1999; My Great-Grandfather Frank Cole, he was born 18 Aug 1897 in Ionia County, Michigan, and he married Nellie Viola Maidment and they had four children, Frank Cole died in Royal Oak, Michigan in April of 1965.

Frank and Nellie's children were born and raised in Oakland County, Michigan and the oldest two never moved out of the county. Their children are: My Grandmother Mabel Anna Cole, born 27 Dec 1915, she married James Robert Field and they had five children (four are still living). My grandmother died 12 Nov 1980 in Royal Oak, Michigan; Viola "Vie" May Cole, she was born 29 Apr 1918, and married Lester Woolard, and they had four children together. Viola died 11 Jan 1998 in Royal Oak, Michigan; Donald Orion Cole, he was born 26 Dec 1934, and he married Nora Lee Crawford, and from this union produced two children. Donald is still living in Michigan; Sharrin Lee Cole, she was born 22 Jan 1936, and she married Clifford Baird and they live in Tennessee.

Mabel and James Robert Field's children were all born in Oakland County and they were: My mother Carol Ann Field, she was born 4 Oct 1936, married Jack Russell Millard and they had five children. My mother passed away 7 May 1993 in Florida and she is buried next to her youngest son in Highland Memorial Gardens, Maumie Ohio; Barbara Lee Field, born 25 Mar 1935 and is living in Florida; Mary Louise "Mary Lou" Field, born 30 Mar 1940, and is now living Indiana; James Robert Field Jr., born 15 Apr 1948; and Linda Susan Field, born 1 Jan 1955. She was the first baby born in the Detroit area that year. She died following a surgical procedure on 29 Jun 1959.

My mother and father raised five children on an enlisted serviceman's salary. We traveled around a lot. My two older brothers were born in Stephenville, New Foundland, Canada, me and my younger brother were born in Grassvalley, California, and my sister was born at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Elmore, Idaho. As you can see, we never lived in any one place to set down roots. People complain because they have not gotten out and seen the world, while others complain that all they wanted was to know where they came from. If I never lived the life that I did, I would not have had my beautiful wife and daughter, and I would not trade them for anything. But I still need your help in bringing my family to life. I know that there are aunts, uncles, and cousins out there with a story to tell and photos to share. I thank you for your time and pray that you do not just disregard this letter as a prank, I am really interested is learning. Thank you again in advance.
