Additional information about Cora Fenton was received via mail from Colin Adams dated 01/19/2016 (shown below): With regard to Cora Fenton; Her Death Certificate states that she died on 26 Aug 1927 in Shaw, Lincoln County, Colorado She is buried in the Arriba Cemetery, Arriba, Lincoln County, Colorado. Cora's Find A Grave record also lists a Elria E. Adams buried on the same date and in the same plot. This tends to substantiates a long held family belief that Cora died in child birth and the child's name was Elria. Cora was 50 years old when she died, which would be unusual for a woman of that age to be giving birth but it DOES HAPPEN. Child birth for a woman of that age and at that time in our history and living in a rural community would have been very difficult and most likely not attended by a physician. I have not yet obtained a Death Certificate for Elria.
