Information provided by Cheryl:
Cora Maude was the oldest living daughter of Daniel Maurice and Charlotte Swartout Bailey Williams. She had two sisters Lottie & Nina. Mr. Williams had been married once before and possibly married Charlotte to provide a step-mother for his motherless children. The family are recorded in the 1870 US Federal Census for Owego, Tioga County, NY.
There is no anecdotal as to how Maude met her first husband, Henry John Holt, a member of the Winnebago Native American Tribe of Nebraska. My mother spoke frequently of the fact that they had loved one another a great deal, but the genicidal attitudes towards Native Americans at the time made it impossible for them to continue to stay married. In 1900, the couple are found in the Nebraska Winnebago Precinct. We had a large collection of pictures of Native women dressed in their tribal costumes in our home as children. Fearing that these pictures might not be appreciated by further generations, I returned them to the Nebraska State Historical Society.
I have no idea how Cora met Gene Cox. They lived out their lives in Sioux City, Iowa. Cora was a cat lover and sent my mother several snapshots of her with a cat on her lap. She seemed to be a happy woman.
