Obviously, I haven't had much to do lately. :) Most of my DC presentation
of worked out.
This may not be new for some of you...

It lists his parents as Jack Cooley and Mary E Brady. It must be John (son
of John and Elizabeth White Cooley), but I don't think his mother's name
was Evalina as noted everywhere. She shows on the 1860 census as Emeline
and there's an Emeline Cooley with sons Talbert and John on the 1900
census for Macon county. The odd thing is that the census says she had 2
children with 2 living. Of course, the question may have simply been
misunderstood:
1900 > MISSOURI > MACON > NARROWS TWP
Series: T623 Roll: 873 Page: 289
Talbert's age on the death certificate doesn't figure either, but the
informant, Ted Cooley, may have had it wrong.
