Leota Belle Cooksey Remembers
As told by Leota Belle Cooksey, younger sister of my Great Grandmother Lucy
Louise "Ada" Cooksey, when referring to Grandparents. Leota means the Oliver
and Lucy (Rodenbaugh) Hogeboom, when she mentions Aunt Mary she means Mary
(Erwin) McGhee, wife of Merideth McGee/McGhee they lived in Guthrie Co.,
Iowa.. James Kimber Cooksey's maternal Aunt his mother was Louisa Maria
(Erwin) Cooksey.
When Leota mentions Aunt Belle and carrying her coffin in their wagon to
Mitchellville, this is Belle (Williams) Cooksey, their Aunt through James
Kimber Cooksey's older brother Francis Marion Cooksey, who I noticed is on
your site and one of his sons in the
Des
Moines City Directory he was a Barber.
Leota tells the story of my Great Grandparents George Washington Day and "Ada"
Lucy Louise Cooksey, leaving Cherry Co., NE., back to
Des
Moines Polk Co.,
Iowa, by donkey probably because they were going to get married in
Des
Moines and staying with her Grandparents the Hogebooms. My notes state
that my Great Grandparents George W Day and Lucy Louise "Ada" Cooksey, married
9 Nov 1898 in
Des
Moines, Polk Co.,Iowa.
