Elizabeth Neibaur Cook

Merrill Eugene Cook>Joseph Wolcott Cook-Elizabeth Neibaur Cook(wife 1)

This is a short bio on Elizabeth Neibaur Cook. I wish I knew more about her. Samantha saw this picture when she was 3 or 4 and exclaimed, "Oh, it's Mary Poppins!"

 
Elizabeth Neibaur was born January 9, 1859, at Salt Lake City, Utah; she was the daughter of Joseph William Neibaur and Elizabeth (Cranshaw) Neibaur.  Both of her parents were pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley, her father coming in 1848 and her mother arriving in 1854.  

Elizabeth was married October 4, 1883, in the Salt Lake Endowment House to Elder J. W. Cook.  On January 15, 1884, they moved to Border, Idaho, and on January 22, 1885, she gave birth to a son whom they named Joseph Wolcott Cook.  Elizabeth passed away shortly after on January 30, 1885, and her little son passed away the following spring.  They are both buried in Paris, Bear Lake County, Idaho.
