Irene Delaney Dana Walker + Homepage
Surnames: COLE, WALKER
Hollis J. (Shorty) WALKER, my paternal grandfather, was b. 1882
in IN, but moved to Wayne Co. where he m. abt 1907 to Dora COLE.
Earlier, he had lived in Cisne, IL. Rumor has it he shot someone
and went north. He m. Dora COLE in St. Joseph, IL, and d.
1971 of old age. Because of the family history, my father won't say
a thing about his father. I'm curious about newspapers in Cisne,
IL or around that area between 1898-1908. I think he "rode with a
gang" for a while, and some of the members were hanged.
