Elton Levi Henry Cook & Sadie Imogene Cook


Sadie and Elton Cook

So I spent a week or so completely convinced that I could trace these two back to Mayflower descendants since their paternal grandparent's names were Cook and Howland and they lived in Massachusetts - and how awesome would it have been to reunite a photo and say, "OH BY THE WAY, you can apply to the Mayflower Society. Here's all my research." Alas, I couldn't get anything to link up. I couldn't even get further back then their great grandfather Artemas Cook. Still have no clue who his parents were.

I DID however discover that Sadie connects to my tree. She married a 4th cousin of mine. But I digress.

Elton Levi Henry Cook was born on December 27, 1893, in Taunton, Massachusetts to parents Walter & Helen Cook (nee Welch). He had one son and one daughter with Ruth A between 1930 and 1935. He died on September 6, 1958, at the age of 64.

Sadie Imogene Cook was born on February 1, 1896, in Taunton, Massachusetts,  She married Hatsel Keith Crosby on October 14, 1914, in Massachusetts. They had one child during their marriage. She died in February 1967 in Hyannis, Massachusetts, at the age of 71.

I traced Sadie's line down to her great grandkids and found her great granddaughter on Facebook. So this photo has been reunited with a direct descendant.
