SOURCE: "Sunshine and Shadows" written by Evangeline H (Cook) Wright Marriage Notes for EVANGELINE COOK and WILLIAM WRIGHT: July 2, 1887 at two pm, on Saturday evening William I Wright and Evangeline Hover Cook were united in marriage at the bride's Boarding house in Pittsburg, Kansas, Crawford County by Thomas A Smith, a Quaker minister from Tacoma, a Cherokee County resort of Friend Quakers. Guests present were the parents of the bride, Jacob and Anna Jane Cook, brother Charles and wife Nellie Rue Coo,, Mrs. Rue, Brother Will, William Hamilton, John Morgan, Ed Price, two younger sisters, Bell and Lizzie, a Mr. Green, and Billie Slack, our grocery man. Supper was served by Nellie Rue Cook and her mother at Mrs. Rue's. The bunch made up a song -- William married our Cook. We have no cook to cook our cookies, Boo hoo, boo hoo, our Boarding house has no cook now to cook our cookies, oh what will we do, we do? for a cook to cook now. This finished the Cook Boarding house. The boarding house was discontinued and Father and Mother moved to Cathage, Mo.
