There was a third McCoOk family
an elder brother named George, a ply
stefan, who came to Lisbon in 1917 and
practiced here for more than thirty
years. He then removed to Pittsburg
where he remained the rest of his life
and left son, George, jr, who inher-
tined his fame and Practice, as well as
his name and a grandson. Willis +.
McCOOk, who is equally successful in
his generation. The original George and
his brother Dan married sisters, the
daughters of Abraham Latimer. who
was born, lived and died at Lisbon
