Not much is known of W.C. Cole's relatives; in the 1990s while on the parking lot of the Kenton Motel, I saw this old guy with a big blue Ford pickup towing a horse trailer. After excersising his horse in the field , he came over, and identified himself as a cousin of Poppa Will. He was a short wireing guy in his 80s, I'm sorry I didn't get his name.
