Hi Mike, haven't seen you on for some time. Don't know if your e-mail was meant to me or not. Alvis Cook was my great grandfather and he did die in Nevada, Vernon County at the mental hospital and is buried there. Harriet is buried in Spokane Cemetery as is Harmon (my grandfather) and my grandmother Biddie Ann Berry Cook. Harmon Sherman Cook (not Harmon Sherman Porter Cook) bought the store in 1924 and has been in the family since that time. The store is located near Rogersville, about 10 miles east of Springfield and is owned by my uncle Earl Cook. It is closed now as Earl Cook has had a mild stroke. He is trying to sell it. I would love to be able to keep it in the family or make it a historical site. I understand it had been in operation at least 70 years possibly more. I believe we are cousins. Maybe we can compare info sometime. I am in Southern California Sincerely, Wanda (cook) King [email protected]
