Cora A. Eagle [45]

  General Notes:

Cora Eagal, born in 1897 in Fayette County, West Virginia, died before 1960. Cora, sometimes called Nora, has a vague background. We have tried to find something of her travels but we have nearly nothing.

Eagle is believed to be the correct surname. The source of the misspelling is my own birth certificate. My father once told me that the doctor was drunk at the time he filled out the certificate and he probably misspelled the Eagle name. He often told me that Cora (Nora) was half Cherokee and subsequent information seems to support this notion. She was also rumored to be involved with bootlegging, possibly in the Cherokee community of Butte County, California which is a short distance from Gridley where the Lively family eventually settled.

SRC: 1900 census

Cora married Samuel Edgar Lively Sr. [44] [MRIN: 44], son of Samuel D. Lively [33] and Carolyn Mae Hughart [39]. (Samuel Edgar Lively Sr. [44] was born on 29 Apr 1885 in Meadow Bridge, Fayette County, West Virginia and died in Feb 1971 in Gridley, California.)
