Cora's father was David born in 1822. Cora was born just after the Civil War in 1868 in Eleva, Wisconsin, four miles west of Strum. She died in 1939 in Davenport, Iowa. Cora married Zopher John Ward, April 8, 1897.

But Cora and her family lived in the Eleva-Strum area and Hamlin, Hamlin Cemetery area, and Wingad brothers are listed as Civil War Veterans in "A History of Strum and the Town of Unity" by Roy Matson. If some relationship with the Matsons or Garsons might develop that would not be unusual. New relationships seem to pop up each day. This research is prompted by Mary K. Ward whose husband is a descendant of Cora Wingad. I hope this section on Cora Wingad is valuable to some visitors. It is an interesting piece about a very early family settlement in Albion Township and perhaps Unity. Fred Matson |
