  • Notes 
    • In the 1880 Federal Census, he is Willie F. Cook, age 14, living with his parents and sister at East Providence, RI.

      According to the 1910 Federal Census, William's parents were born in MA. In 1910, William & Cora are living on India St. in Providence, RI. Their seven children, ranging in age from 15 months to 13 years, are in the household. In the 1920 Federal Census, the family is living at 242 Charles St., Providence. Six of the children are still in the household -- all except Raymond, who is recently married and living on Benedict St. In 1930, William & Cora are living at 23 Osborn St., Providence. Daughter Ruth, age 21, is with them.

      According to a descendant, Joanne McLaughlin, William worked for many years at Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Company.
