Hi Gary,
That's great that you identified your father!
I don't know anything about Jame Sisko's service other than that he was primarily in France during WWII and that he worked on the railroads as a switchman and the such. Do you think this is a photo perhaps of the company you mention? I don't have any clue as to who James served with. Any info you can provide about Elza Coffman and his military service would be appreciated!
Thanks, Amber

The obituary of my ancestor, Maggie Hickman,Cain,Sifford was first cousins with Orville Jasper Sickels of Ross County, Ohio.
Can anyone help with the connection? I know that Orville married Laura Cain of West Virginia. I do not see how Maggie and Laura are related.
seeking any information on Maggie Hickman of West Virginia. Born July 1862 in Wood, WV. Married or had a child with a Henry Cain.
Information I have gathered on my search for Maggie Hickman:
Home in 1870, Grant, Doddridge, West Virginia
Mother: Phoebe Freasure Hickman born abt 1839, Va
Father : Arthur Hickman born abt 1837, Va
Siblings:
Sarah Emeline Hickman born abt 1860, Va,
Lewis N. Hickman born abt 1862, Va
Mary G. Hickman born abt 1866, wv
Anne Lamar Hickman born abt 1869 wv
The only Maggie Hickman in 1880 was found in Grant, Ritchie, WV. Maggie Hickman is 18yrs old and lives with a Hannah Hickman,widow, born abt 1840. Who is Hannah Hickman? Do I even have the right Maggie?
According to 1900 Ohio Death Record, Maggie was married to a Henry Cain of Va (no other info) Their daughter, Blanch Gretchen Cain born Jan 7, 1885 (Wood,WV?). Maggie then appears in Ross, Ohio with daughter Blanch,a first cousin Orville Jasper Sickels (husband of Laura Cain) and marries Lewis Cass Sifford Oct 13, 1890. She dies in 1900 in Lima Ohio of Consumption. I sincerely appreciate help of any kind. Thanks for your time reading such lengthy inquiry.

My grandfather was Harlan S. Coffman, son of Albert and Myrtie. His birth name was spelled Harlin, but was changed when he married to Harlan. It is not Harland. From what I know of Albert and Annie, who was a spinster schoolteacher, John was their father and for whom my great-uncle John (still living in Granite, OK) was named.
