Information about Everett Cole is somewhat suspicious because it is a common name. His date of death is often listed as "1977", but Jeffrey S. Fisher claims that this date comes from research he did, which he now disowns. The online Science Fiction Encyclopedia lists his birth as "Yorktown, Texas: 17 July 1910". Wikipedia lists him as born 1910, but dying in Yorktown, Texas.

The [http://ssdmf.info/by_birthdate/19100717.html Social Security administration database] of individuals who have died list only one "Everett Cole" born on July 17, 1910, and of him they say: "EVERETT COLE was born 17 July 1910, got Social Security number 484-09-5343 (indicating Iowa,) and died October 1977." This is not consistent with SFE, since if they have his birthdate correct, and he is now dead (almost certain), then he was born in Iowa, not Texas. The Wikipedia entry is, at least, consistent with the Social Security administration data.

Online information about Everett Cole is somewhat incorrect because it is a common name. His date of death is often listed as "1977", but Jeffrey S. Fisher claims that this date comes from research he did, which he now disowns. The online Science Fiction Encyclopedia lists his birth as "Yorktown, Texas: 17 July 1910". Wikipedia lists him as born 1910, but dying in Yorktown, Texas.

The Social Security administration database of individuals who have died lists four possible "Everett [B] Cole"s born in 1910:

  • EVERETT COLE, b. 03 April 1910, Social Security number 139-10-3449 (indicating New Jersey), died January 1961. Last residence unknown.
  • EVERETT B COLE, b. 17 April 1910, Social Security number 547-03-1367 (indicating California), died 21 August 2001. Last residence: Yorktown, Texas.
  • EVERETT COLE, b. 17 July 1910, Social Security number 484-09-5343 (indicating Iowa), died October 1977. Last residence: Tripoli, Iowa.
  • EVERETT COLE, b. 30 December 1910, Social Security number 510-10-7699 (indicating Kansas), died March 1984. Last residence: Westcliffe, Colorado.

Researching these individuals on the web found the following definitive death announcement:
