Harold migrated from Portage County, Ohio to the Bay Area in California just after 1920. On Oct 18 1936 , in San Franscico, California, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, he married Glady's Lorraine (Blair) White Bouyssou Cole. By 1939, Glady's and Harold and two daughters, Myrna and Helen. The family moved to Modesto, Turlock County, California. Later in 1939, they moved north to Yreka, Siskiyou County, California. It was in Yreka where their two other daughters, Thelma and Joan were born. In between Thelma and Joan's birth, the family had relocated north to Hornbrook, California. The family moved north to Jackson County, Oregon after 1943. It was there that Harold Cletus Cole would lose his battle to throat cancer in 1947. He is layed to rest in an unmarked grave next to his wife, Glady's at Siskiyou Memorial Park, Medford, Jackson County, Oregon.
Harold was previously married to a lady by the name of Isabell. No last name is known, but they resided in Contra Costa, California in the 1930 Census. They divorced a short time later.
* Note: Helen was born Helen Lorraine Bouyssou, then later changed to Helen Lorraine Cole. DNA test of Helen's son, Donald, has proven her biological father was indeed Benjamin Bouyssou from San Francisco, not Harold Cole. Helen does have two birth certificates in both names. Helen was raised from an infant by Harold Cole as her father, so that is all she knew.
