John W.B. Cole (1843-1930) and his wife Minerva J. Welch Cole (1843-1922) relocated from their home in Leroy, Audubon, Iowa to Long Beach, CA about 1915 to be closer to their daughter Alta Cole Moon and her three sons Harry, J. Wray and Cecil Moon and their children who were all living in the Long Beach area at that time. 

W.B. and Minerva are buried at the Sunnyside Cemetery in Long Beach, CA in a plot they share with W.B.'s brother Dellison Cole.

W.B. and Minerva are my Maternal 2nd Great Grandparents
