I removed the first name "Marion" from this profile as there is no credible evidence of Wright Cook having any other first name other than Wright. I believe this had previously been done, but a recent profile merger made the Marion name re-appear.

Cook-40780 and Cook-6024 appear to represent the same person because: Match on name, date and location of birth, parents, both spouses, and death date.

I will also propose merges for the duplicate profiles of both his spouses.
