Inscription
The Birth year on her headstone is wrong, as she was born in 1912 instead of 1910. Jewel Gober Cook's baby sister, Hattie Gober, was born in 1910. I have added Jewel L. Gober Cook's death certificate to the photo section,(which shows her birth date as Nov. 22, 1912) and her obit to her the photo section for reference, as it shows her age in 1942 as being 30 years old.
