Daughter of William Wallace Blakesley and Mary Ellen Everman.

Cora C. Blakesley married William James Gerks in 1912. He was born July 1, 1863 in WI. First married Selma F. Lieder (1867-1950) in 1888. He died March 29, 1941 in San Diego, CA. His parents were William Frederick Gerks (1832- ) and Mary Louise Balfanz (1838- ).

1930 Gardner, Huerfano Co., CO Census:
William J. Gerks, 66, WI, General Farm
Cora C. Gerks, 53, IA, Teacher, Public School

1940 Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA Census:
Claude Veach, 45, IA, 1935 lived Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA., Teacher, Public High School
Pearl Veach,39, MI,
Cora Gerks, 63, Aunt, IA, 1935 lived Appanoose Co., IA

Suggested edit: Suggestion:
William James last name was spelled 'Georks'. He was a son of William August Georks and Selma Luder. William James was born in Oshkosh, Winnabago, Wisconsin.
William Julius and Cora Cordelia were married July 1, 1912 at Las Animas, Bent Co., Colorado.
William Julius was born in Austria to William Frederick Gerks and Mary Louise Balfanz.
I think William James Georks and William Julius Gerks have gotten mixed up somehow.
