Cora Melvina Wisemiller ButlerAt this point I have very little information about Lou's paternal grandparents. However, I have just discovered some websites that may give me more information. Until then, enjoy these pictures and this short entry from Lou's personal history regarding his grandparents.
Cora Melvina Wisemiller was born 3 July 1872, at White Cloud, Brooks Township, Newaygo County, Michigan (Birth Record No. 828, Book 1, page 56). She perhaps got her middle name from her Aunt Jessie Malinna (error for Melvina?) Kimball who was born the preceding December. She was married on 26 Dec. 1890, Dawson County, Nebraska, to Charles Llewellyn Butler. They celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary at Christmas, 1940 at their home near Haswell, Colorado. Ila Volk (a distant cousin) describes Cora as "tall and stately appearing and such a pleasant smile."
