Anna Belle Cook 1905-1992

Today’s post contains the second part of Taylor’s interview with Francis Cook who is Anna Belle’s second youngest son and Taylor’s grandfather.

I’m not sure Taylor realizes the importance of her thesis work. It certainly secured her teaching credentials, but it also documented important details about the Cook family and friends, Brasstown, and the mountains of southern Appalachia. I’m thankful for the dedication and time Taylor used to preserve the amazing legacy of Anna Belle Cook.
