In Response To: Madge Capitolia Starr (Connie Starkel)

According to Indiana marriage records Jesse A. Starr married Lotta Jane Hanna on 27 May 1847 in Putnam County, Indiana.

In the 1850 Census Jesse and "Jane" are living in Farmington, Van Buren County, Iowa. He is 24 born in Indiana and she is 20 also born in Indiana.

I cannot find them in the 1860 Federal Census.

In the 1870 Federal Census they are living in Van Meter, Dallas County, Iowa. The record shows:

Starr, Jesse, age 44 born Indiana
Starr, Jane, age 38, born Indiana
Starr, Mary, age 19, born Iowa
Starr, Ellen, age 14, born Iowa
Starr, Frank, age 11, born Iowa
Starr, Capitola, age 8, born Iowa

In the 1880 Federal Census, I cannot find either Jesse or "Jane". There is the following entry for Pleasant Township, Wapello County, Iowa.

Hanna, George, head, aged 76, born Ohio
Hanna, Polly, wife, aged 73, born Ohio
Hanna, Joseph, son, aged 47, born Indiana
Starr, Franklin, grandson, aged 21 born Iowa
Starr, Cappie, grand-dau, aged 18, born Iowa

Next door are:

Cole, John, head, aged 55, born Ohio
Cole, Sarah, wife, aged 54, born Pennsylvania
Cole, El(?), dau, aged 31, born Ohio
Cole, William, son, aged 28, born Ohio
Cole Idella, dau, aged 24, born Ohio
Cole, Ella, dau, age 18, born Ohio
Cole, Lulu, dau, age 16, born Illinois

I looked up your gggrandmother's obit and the points are:

Died on February 3, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois at age 80. Husband was William Cole, who died in 1905.

Surviving are sons, Clifford Starr Cole of Chicago, Illinois, Ralph Cole of Pheonix, Arizona, F.C. Cole of Oak Park, Illinois, and Morris Cole of Stanton, Iowa; daughters, Jesse Ornduff of Milton, Iowa and Lela Belden of Rock Island, Illinois. She was buried in Agency Cemetery.

I checked Wapello County marriage records and found:

William F. Cole married Cappie Star on 22 Aug 1880
Clifford Starr Cole married Georgia Pearl Gilbert on 31 Aug 1907
F.C. Cole married Elizabeth Collett on 19 Dec 1908
Morris Cole married Fannie Christy on 26 Apr 1916
Jessica L. Cole married Albert Ornduff on 2 Aug 1905
Lela Cole married Otis W. Belden on 7 Mar 1915
Edmonia Cole married Joseph Hanna on 13 Jun 1880
Ella Cole married C.W. Hubbard 21 Sep 1892

If I can be of help, please let me know.
