KANE, FARMER - I am searching for any information on my father's father, Herbert James KANE. My father, Herbert Russell Kane, was born in Carroll, Iowa on 12/24/1920. His mother's name was Cora (FARMER) Kane. His birth certificate lists his father's name as Herbert James KANE. At that time, he was 36 years old, occupation salesman, born in Michigan. His mother was 41 years old, born in Iowa. (Her family was all from Iowa). My father was told that when he was 3 years old, his father "disappeared". We have later learned that he and his mother divorced. Cora Kane and Herbert James Kane had three children, Paul James (or possibly James Paul - age around 17 at the time of my father's birth), his sister Genivieve, and my father Herbert Russell Kane. Cora Kane moved the family to Wetumka, Oklahoma after Herbert James Kane "disappeared", where her brother William "Charlie" Farmer was an attorney/banker. At some point after this, they moved to Ada, Oklahoma, where my father was raised. We would like any information on Herbert James KANE (what really happened to him), and would like to communicate with any of his family. We have run into a dead-end.
