Idaho.
   She was born Dec. 14, 1911 in Ralston, Neb. And was orphaned at a young age.
 She and her two young brothers moved west to Washington to live with their
married, older sisters.  As soon as she was old enough to go out on her own,
Bernice found jobs in the Lamont, Wash. area.  There she met Everett Cook.  They
married on Oct. 26, 1933 in Colfax, Wash.
