Dear Mrs. McCook:
Please write me by return mail and answer the 
following questions for Judge Connor’s
information:
When did you marry Mr. McCook?
Where did you marry?
What was you full name before marriage?

You can answer these question right on this

Judge Connor to make proper order upon
your petition for dower.

Sarah Francie Harrell. that was my full name be 
fore marriage.

**notes**
The answers were handwritten at the bottom of the 
letter by Sarah Frances Harrell.
W. A. (William Alexander) McCook and Sarah 
Frances Harrell are my paternal great grandparents.
I believe that Dakata is most likely Decatur, GA. 
She spelled it the way it sounded to her.
Sarah Frances Harrell’s parents, John G. Harrell 
and Adeline Matilda Harper were married in Decatur Co., GA.
I have yet to find an actual marriage certificate 
for W. A. McCook and Sarah Frances Harrell. This letter
may be the only documentation for the marriage 
that still exists.
