Notes:  My grandmother is Ella Nora.  She married Henry Preston Cooper, against her parents wishes.  He was her second cousin and a man who was divorced.  She and "Press" had 12 children.  They lived in the Sidon, Quitman and Morganton area.  Ella Nora moved to California with her sons in the early 1940's.
