This obit was in my local paper yesterday and knowing that there are many
Zook researchers on these lists will post it in the hopes that it will be
of help to someone doing this research. I am not researching Zook
personally. There is a photo of Mr. Zook included in the article, which I
will be happy to scan and send to anyone writing to me personally for it.
It is a very small photo but very clear. Nancy Giles
