Tentatively, Nora was the daughter of William and Susan Ward, who were married on or about October 12, 1864, in Brown County, Illinois. In various documents, Susan's maiden name was recorded as Pile, Piles and Pyles. It appears that both William and Susan died prior to the census of 1880 (burial locations unknown) and the family was broken up. Again, this relationship to these parents is tentative, because Nora was never counted with them and she wasn't with her elder half-brother, James Willis Ward, in 1880. Her elder full brothers, Charles and Edward, were counted with James.~The Quill, page 8
