Cora Alice Bales
Looking for any information on my gr. grandmother, Cora A. Bales, born November 27, 1874 in Ray or Caldwell county Missouri to Pleasant M. Bales and ??? Petrie/Petree.Her mother died at or shortly after her birth and she was sent to Kansas to live with her maternal grandmother and aunt.
In February 1893, she married Roy Leighton "Leat" Shipler and they lived in Rice or Reno county Kansas until about 1917 when they moved to Crowley Colorado where they ran a grocery store and cafe.
I've never been able to verify her mothers name....maybeAlice or Ellen.Her grandmother most likely lived in Stafford, Rice or Reno county Kansas and they were possibly Quakers.
Anything would be greatly appreciated.
