HE WAS ONE OF OUR BEST




These two wonderful photos of Corp Frederick Cook (recently revised and colored) come courtesy of my Texas cousin Sandra. He was her paternal grandfather that was the older brother of Charles Cook. Standing/sitting proudly Corporal Frederick Cook was described as "One Of Our Best" in the San Francisco Police force.
In/around 1903 Frederick would meet a lady by the name of Elizabeth Marion Gibbins. Born on June 20, 1889 in Santa Rosa, California, Elizabeth was one of seven children in the John and Dora (Rhoades) Gibbins family.
Her father John Ector Gibbins was born on May 3, 1858, in Little Rock, Arkansas, the son of Mary and Isaac.
Her mother Dora Catherine Rhoades
