    3. I went into the Hillington Cemetery at Morris this morning and looked up the monument of Harvey Cook and it turned out to be marked Harvey M. Cooke, 1848 - 1913, Ettie Moore his wife 1857 - 1890 and Ruth C his wife 1847 - (blank) . On the back of the stone it was marked Baby 1881 - 1881 and below that Jessie E 1889 - 1890. I stopped and visited with Joyce Foote, Morris Historian and she said that Ruth was the second wife. She also said that there was a Harvey G. Cook buried there also and we looked at his obituary that indicated that he was the one who ran a shoe store in Morris. When I looked up my gggrandfather Harvey W. Cook, I never looked at the back of the stone. I hunted all over the homestead farm and cemeteries in the immediate area for my ggrandfather Eugene's stone and finally went back to Harvey's grave and found Eugene on the back of Harvey's stone and also found my ggrandmother Lorinda Thurston's grave on the same plot. So now I look at the all sides of each stone and the stones around it. Although this isn't the Harvey that you were looking for, this information may help someone.
