Ann,

According to _Colonel Cody and the Flying cathedral_ (Jenkins, 1999), Samuel Cody had only one biological child, Frank, by Lela Blackburne Davis, whom Cody did not marry– he had never divorced Maud Lee Cody, whom he married in Pennsylvania in 1899.

Frank was born in November 1895 in Basle, Switzerland. He joined the Royal Flying Corps in World War I and was shot down in a dogfight in France with four German planes on January 23, 1917. Frank left two sons, one of whom had been born only five days earlier.

I was interested to read your article on Samuel Franklin Cody. Perhaps you would be interested in my website which could perhaps correct just a few of your statements. It is very good to see that Davenport is taking an interest in one of its heroes.
With best wishes,
Jean
