This is my great grandfather, and my grandmother doesn't know much other than he was born Dec 27, 1894 in Chicago. He died on May 1, 1977, in Bradenton, Florida. I have been unable to find any trace of his parents or if he had any siblings. The first time I am able to find him in the census is the 1920 census about 6 months before his marriage to my great grandmother Grace Willabel Cole in Pope's Mills, NY, when he was a boarder in Frank & Anna Hastings's house.
