Cora Emily Dunn (Second from the right in the back row of the picture to the left) was born on 29 July 1908. Her parents were Anna Buletta Jensen (known as Annie) and Simeon Harmon Dunn. Cora was born 25 August 1901 in Eastdale, Costilla County, Colorado. Her older sisters were Frances Edna, Ethel Leona, Ruth Carrie. Cora and these sisters were born in Eastdale.
The family then moved to Manassa, Colorado. Cora's younger siblings were born in Manassa. They were, Edgar, Ina, Hazel, Elma, Doris and Loyd. Her mother then had a stillborn child they named Keith Melford. Cora's baby brother was Rex.
Cora grew up with seven sisters and three brothers. Because the girls were born first, they milked cows, fed chickens, and helped in the fields. Cora was very good with math.
Cora had several friends that she spent time with. Nora Christensen, Dollie Christensen, and Leta Kaneaster were the closest friends. Cora was a good basketball player.

What is backetball?
I would like to have known Cora.
Is Ruth now the oldest one alive from the family? How old would Cora be now? 100 in July. Maybe we should have a party.
I understand that Aunt Ruth is now in a nurseing home in Alamosa.
Yes, she would have been 100 on the 29th of July. Perhaps we can convince Mom to include Grandma Cora Dunn Bingham in her birthday party at the reunion.
So is there going to be a party?
