Edwin T. Cooke - Online Memorial Website

Many years ago Mr. and Mrs. Cooke (Ed & Clara) attended the Krall Reunion held yearly at the park in Cerro Gordo, IL.  I was a little girl and remember how much "fun" my sisters and I had with them.  He always had a smile on his face.

A few years ago I attended a Decatur Genealogical Society Meeting one Sunday, and he happened to come that day also...it was the first time he had attended.  He was 90 years old at that time, and we had many memories of which we discussed.  I was excited to see him again and really enjoyed the time  with him on that day!!!!

He was one of my "favorite cousins through marriage".  My father was Woodrow Cornell; his mother was a Krall; and Clara was my dad's cousin.

He will be greatly missed by all.  I am sorry to be unable to attend his service. The oldest son of one of my cousins passed away, and his service is tomorrow also, but in Oak Brook, IL. 

Will be thinking of you, with deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Junior's passing.  He had a long and great life and enjoyed it most of it to the fullest.  His energy, stamina and work ethic was an inspiration.

Thank you for allowing us to perform the Military Rites for your loved one.  We consider it an honor to do so.
