I'm helping
the Merced Co. Courthouse Museum find a home for a family
Bible that
was given to them.
It
belonged to William Q. COOK & Lucinda Dee MIRES.
W. Q. Cook
married Lucinda Dee Mires on Dec. 30, 1856, San Joaquin Co.
Cook was
born on March 7, 1825.
Mires was born on March 22, 1840.
They had
five children:
Charles W.
Cook was born on Feb. 5, 1858.
George
Washington Cook was born on Feb. 16, 1860.
Isabella
A. Cook was born on Dec. 16, 1861.
Ada Josephine Cook was born on March 24, 1864.
Eva
Lucinda Cook was born on March 7, 1867.
The museum
would like to find a home for this bible. Any & all help
appreciated...Alma
