Dora C. Rushton m. Thomas B. Cook-Where, When?

Searching for information on Dora C. Rushton and Thomas M. Benjamin Cook and their descendants.

Dora was d/o John Henry Rushton and Sarah Josephine "Josie" Catching(s). Thomas was s/o Matt Cook, b. ca 1853 MS, and Permelia “Amelia” Callicott, b. ca 1848 AL .

Dora b. 17 Jul 1895 in Lafayette Co., AR, d. 16 Feb 1948 Oklahoma Co., OK. Thomas M. Benjamin Cook b. 26 May 1879 in Monroe Co., MS. I don't have a marriage date--presume they were married in south AR counties or across the line in north LA.

Known children: Garland b. abt. 1915; Alvin b. abt. 1917; Lavell b. abt. 1919; Hazel I. b. 29 May 1922, d. 13 Jun 2003 Idabel, McCurtain, OK; Herschel b. abt. 1925; & Jonnie V. (female) b. abt. 1928.

The 1920 Lafayette Co. census has this couple w/Garland, Alvin, & Lavell and mother, Amelia Cook, in Baker Township.

The last 3 children may have been born in Sevier Co., AR, as this couple with 5 children was on the 1930 Clear Creek, Sevier Co., AR, census record (Lavell-male- was missing).

I'd also like to know DOD and burial location for Thomas and any of their descendants. Dora is buried in Sunnylane Cemetery, Del City, Oklahoma, OK.

Some researchers list 'Jackson Levi Cook' as husband of Dora, but my research, so far, does not confirm this point of view. Any information on this idea is welcome.

Thanks for any help offered--will be glad to share my data with interested parties.
