I had a great uncle, guy cole that told his family he was going to St. Louis and no one ever heard from him again. This is an article his brother ran in the newspaper: "E. B. Cole of Lincoln Place, Pittsburgh, is searching for his brother, Guy Cole, aged 36, who disappeared seven years ago from his home in MeKees Rocks, and of whom nothing has been heard since.
Mr. Coles father, Frank Cole, aged 81, of Clearfield, Pa., is very ill and as he grows weaker inquires incessantly for his son, Guy. Of the aged man's 10 children, eight boys and two girls, Guy is the only one whose whereabouts is not known.
Guy is under medium height, weighs about 160 lbs., has dark, curly hair, dark eyes, and a fair complection. When he left home he was smooth shaven. He is a steel worker. When he left home, he said he was going to St. Louis."
Yesterday someone at Genealogy Wise found this information:
May have located your Guy Cole, aka James Guy Cole, b. 1 Feb 1878; registered for WWI draft 12 Sep 1918 at Muskogee City, Oklahoma; he was a RR Track Laborer for M.V RR Co. Reports his nearest relative as "Mrs. Laurian Rowells" of Clearfield. PA
This has got to be my Guy Cole. His sister Gertrude married a Lorrin Rowles and lived in Clearfield. I went looking for him on the 1920 census and 1930 census today and could not find him in Oklahoma. Perhaps he moved on to another state with the railroad. Has anyone found any information on him while searching Coles in that section of the country or does anyone have him in their family?
