I had a Great Aunt Ora WILLIAMS who might have been born in Jasper Co., MO. Of course, all a census gave was MO. Her brother James P. WILLIAMS wrote in 1934 that he was born in Carthage, Jasper Co., MO. [They were born in the 1870's.] To me "Ora" was an unusual name, especially when in the next generation it was given as a middle name to a boy! Oh, don't our ancestors and relatives give us a lot to "puzzle over"? In this crazy hobby!

Do the names Ora and Gertie Cooper mean anything to anyone? I don't have any dates. The last name of Clark was also mentioned, with no first name, but I don't know of any Coopers or Clarks either in the family. The rest of the burials in that lot are Sparks relatives. Jayne
