There are LOTS of question marks and "field rocks" in that cemetery. However, I wonder if someone who died in 1903 wouldn't have had a marker of some sort?? I checked the 1870 and 1880 Dallas Co. censuses and did not find your COOK. I checked some other books I have and could not find any mention of a Jacob COOK. I'll send a copy of your request, and my response, to the Dallas Co. mailing list. Perhaps someone will be able to help. Rick Gregg
