Thanks, Mary. I've updated my page with the three sons of George Harvey
Cooley.
I have that he had brothers John Cooley who married Ella Stevens and James
Wesley Cooley who married Louise Harrison. Did you mean *James* Wesley
Cooley or do I have something wrong? For James I have sons Edward Cooley
(1899-) and John D Cooley (1908-1974) who married Rachel Ray Austin.
