George B. COOK and his wife Nancy are probably buried in Shirley Cemetery near Elmer, MO, though there is no marker there for them. They owned the land the cemetery is on when George died. The land was still part of George's estate when Nancy died in 1852. George's brother James F. COOK, who died in 1847, and his wife have markers in the cemetery.
