Marion was the 2nd child of Solomon and Martha Cook and was born March 20, 1856. Grandson of Hence Marvin Cook.

Each year on the 2nd Saturday of August, the descendants of Marion and Ann meet for a family reunion. For the last couple of years, we have met at Trinity Wesleyn Church on Issaqueena Road between Clemson and Central. This year (2002) we had over 100 friends and family members show up.

Our reunion is called the COOK-GARRETT Reunion because Ann and Marion's son Claud married Minnie Rebecca Garrett and their daughter Stella Mae married Minnie's brother James Fredrick "Fred" Garrett. The children of these two couples resulted in about 18 double first cousins along with almost that many more regular first cousins from the other brothers and sisters.

REUNION PICTURES 2002

This year's theme was again Preserving Our Cook-Garrett Heritage.
Everyone was asked to bring heirlooms to display including pictures,
quilts, furniture, hobbies and crafts. There were a least 6 large tables filled with memories. Micheal Hunter prepared a family tree chart that was almost 50 feet wide showing the various familys on the Bone branch of the family.

We have had several set of twins in our family.
