| Notes |
- !Source: Family Group Record obtained from Hazel Bruni. Per letters of Alma
Cook Baldwin in 1978, Marion Cook, Bernethia Montgomery's first husband, was in
the lumber business in Washington. Their first child, Myrtle, was stillborn
(conflicting statements say Walla Walla or Dayton, Washington) and was buried
in Olympia, Washington in 1890. Cook suffered a logging injury. Sometime
before the next child (Alma) was born, they moved to Cincinnati, Washington
Co., Arkansas and bought a house (perhaps a farm) from Bernethia's father,
George Edwin Montgomery. George and Mary Buck Montgomery may have lived there
with them for a while. Marion Cook died in 1903 of complications from his
logging injury at age 37.
