Theodore Myers and Cora Warren lived on Fourth Street in Oil City, PA, when Florence, their third daughter, was born in 1930. They then moved up to Fifth Street, where they lived when their oldest daughter, Marian, began elementary school at the Innis Street School in about the fall of 1934. While Marian was in the second grade, about 1936, they moved down the hill to First Street near the old Kramer Wagon Works. While Marian was in the second grade still, in the spring of 1936, Theodore, Cora and their three daughters moved to Reno, PA, for a few months, and then to Pittsburgh, PA. They lived in a large yellow house there on Lincoln Avenue in north Pittsburgh with Cora's mother, her brother Chuck and his wife Sally, her sister Ivy and her husband Ed and their daughters Ruth and Betty Hummel. Twila Myers was born to Theodore and Cora in April 1937 while they lived there. Then, the family moved to Gibsonia, PA, to an old farmhouse with no running water, where they lived from 1937-38. Sometime in 1938, when it was cold, the Myers family packed up in an old boxy Chevy and moved to Philadelphia. They lived in Philadelphia from 1938 sometime to the fall of 1939. While there, they were visited by Gordon Myers, Theodore's brother, when Gordon came for the 1939 World's Fair in Philadelphia. In the fall of 1939, the Myers' family moved to Millvale, PA, where Theodore bought a brand new 1940 Plymouth for $1000. Although they moved from one house to another while in Millvale, they stayed there until the three oldest girls married. Then, Theodore, Cora and Twila moved to Idaho for a couple of years in the 1950s. They returned in the summer of 1955, after their daughter Twila had graduated from high school, leaving her there to attend BYU in the fall. -- Marian Myers

11. Cora Leda WARREN ^(1)(24) was born on Nov 13 1910 in U.S..^{(24) (19)(25) (26)} Place of birth: Cora Leda Warren was born in England or the U.S. She was either the first Warren child born in the U.S. or the last one born in England. Cora Leda Warren always told her kids that she was the first of the Warren children to be born in the U.S., but Betty Hummel said Cora as born on Isle of Wight, England. Gloria Warren did not know where Cora was born. Yet, Betty Hummel said her mother, Ivy Warren, was three years old when they came to the U.S.; if that is true, and she was born in 1906, then the Damps came over in 1909 before Cora Leda was born.

Born Nov. 13, 1910. -- T.H. Myers

Cora Leda Warren was born in the U.S. -- T.H. Myers, Marian Myers
She died on Jan 12 1974 in Franklin, PA, Franklin Hospital. ^(27)(28) Win and Lorrie Apel stayed with Cora Leda Warren in the hospital New Year's Eve, 1973-74. Cora was real confused; the nurses wanted to tie her down. Because her daughters did not want her tied down, Win and Lorrie stayed with her. The next morning Lorrie gave her a bath, and Cora said how much that meant to her. She ultimately died at 6:10 am, January 12, 1974.

She died of Hodgkin's disease. Leda Warren married young, in part to get out of the home with her many brothers to escape having to take care of them all. -- Win Apel.

Leda Warren Myers was first called "Little Grandma" by her grandson, Win Apel, because he had two Grandma Myers at the time, and Leda was the smaller of the two. The name stuck. -- Win Apel.

Cora Leda Myers used to talk in her sleep, especially toward the end of her life. Betty Hummel even heard her say from time to time, "Ivy, I'm coming. It's OK. I'll be there." -- Betty Hummel.
