I will be back with Clarence's information later on. Until then, this does not help me find anything on my Jane Fonda, but at least I am gaining more relatives in my family tree. Maybe someday I will have it all figured out. Bye now.

Eva M Rouse Cole, wife of Clarence M Cole death record states: born 13 Nov 1853 in Erie, Ill. died 30 Dec 1923 in Erie, Whiteside, Ill. Buried 2 Jan 1924 in Prophetstown Cemetery at age 70.

That's about all I have at this time on Clarence and Eva Rouse Cole. I do have a lot on Edson C Cole and will continue that here.

If you remember Edson C Cole was divorced when the 1900 USFC Census was done and he was living at home. I didn't record what the date was but the same year in November on the 7th day he was married again, but first we will go to the first marriage. I did not find a divorce record as yet but will continue to look and if by chance I have it all wrong here I will update it when I find the truth for truth.
