Mabel A. Cones

Finally!

We have finally located some pictures of Mabel. Hooray! We have had a few leads to some other mysteries we are currently working on. But we are finally able to put a face with a name. So here now we are happy to present to you Cones kin, Mabel A. Cones.

Let us recap, Mabel A Cones (April 1898 Indiana - March 17, 1916 Indianapolis, IN) is the daughter of Charles Grant (Nov. 22, 1868 Indiana - Nov. 17, 1949 Indiana) and Mary Lou (Cox) Cones (Jan. 31,1881 Indiana - July 17,1962 Indianapolis, IN).

Although to date, we still know very little about her. We are confident that as we continue to search for information on her we will eventually land more hits.

The following pictures are of Mabel. We can confirm these pictures as they were discovered to be in the collection of pictures that were Chester Wallace Cones Sr. in with one of the siblings of my fil. That was a long journey to hunt, but we are so very grateful to that sibling for double checking and locating that there were in fact pictures of Mabel. Several years hunting and the Lord blessed us with more pictures. Yay!

This is Mabel sometime in the early 1900s.

In this picture Mabel is standing in the back, brother Chester Wallace at the left side and baby Grace at the right. No date is noted on this picture.

In the above, we zoomed in a close up of Mabel. In this next picture we begin Left to Right: Mabel, Grace and Chester Cones.







Now there are only a few pictures of Mabel still around from what we are told so we are very glad to finally be able to place a name with a face and share these pictures with kin. 





When you have been searching ancestry as long as I have and even longer and you land hits like this, it makes ancestry more exciting and brings everything you have been doing and everyone you have been working on to life. You almost get the sense of meeting an individual for the first time. I can not explain the excitement and adrenaline that arrives in that moment. This is why so many hunters take pride in the work they have done. There is a deep rewarding when we are patient and we keep on with the searching. This is another reason why I emphasize to keep your work separated from the work of others and to make sure you verify every ounce of information you come across. Regardless of how long a searcher has been searching we are all bound to make a mistake some place. Certainly do not ever attach your tree with an other tree on ancestry until you have verified the information in the other tree to ensure it is credible and accurate. Always mark resources as resources and save them always! You never know when you may need that resource again. 

With that I conclude this post with excitement. Happy hunting everyone!
