Notes

Could have married, but was too tactless. She didn’t like Eugene’s wife, Gertrude. Gertrude was an extrovert and Lula an introvert. To Gertrude, the Cooks were rather odd, all more or less, introverted.

Lula’s obituary says that the family came to Wisconsin from Pennsylvania 6 years before her birth, which would have been 1861.
