Notes for Cora Belle Shook:
SHOOK FAMILY HISTORY
CORA BELLE SHOOK was the fifth daughter of Zebedee and Salome Gabbert
Shook. Cora
had four older sisters, Ida, Della, Anne, and Addie, three older
brothers, Isaac, Jacob and
Lee, and two younger brothers, George and John. Cora met and married
Charles (Bloom)
Meyers in 1903. Their first child, Barbara, died shortly after birth
from a heart defect. Their

Rom in 1910, Hal in

leaving Cora to raise the
surviving six children, all of whom are still living. Cora died in 1953
from cancer. All her
brothers and sisters have passed away. However, John lived to be 100,
passing away in 1986.
Cora leaves not only her six children, but 10 grandchildren, 14 great

I have made posters of each family with children and grandchildren.
