Nannie Estelle Cook

Nannie Estelle Bryant, second wife of Henry R Cook, married in 1914 in Alabama. She had 7 children with Henry (that I know of). After Henry's death in 1934, Nannie remarried in 1943 in Washington county Florida, to Thomas Isaiah Locke. Together they had no children. But Nannie inherited his. What with her own 7 with Henry Cook, and the 7 from Henry's first marriage to Martha Helms, and then the (at least) 5 sons of Thomas Locke... Nannie Bryant Cook Locke, was just that. "Nannie". Her parents could not have named her better, albeit, unknowingly.
