Mildred Cole
Mildred Cole was a first-class passenger on the Valencia, headed to Seattle. Originally from Minnesota, she had appeared in Victoria the previous year with a concert company and it is thought she was returning to do similar work. Her body was one of several found in the days after the wreck and hastily buried along the shore. Several weeks later the bodies were brought to Victoria for identification. Mildred Cole’s body was identified by Mrs. Clausen, a friend of Mildred Cole’s mother, who was sent to Victoria to see if she could identify her among several unidentified bodies. This was reported on the 14th of April in the Victoria Daily Times, six weeks after her initial death from the Valencia shipwreck. Her body was sent to Minnesota for interment.
