Robert R. Charlie Cooke was born near the crossroads of Fordtown/Cooktown Rd and Old Mullins Rd/Scott St where the present day Richard Cooke house is located (2012). He married the youngest daughter of Joel B. and Anna Missiour Hill Hayes on Dec 23, 1912 and moved to Fork, SC on Old River Road near 1st Loop Road (South of Fork Baptist Church).
He had all of his children at this location and had one son, George, to die of pneumonia (but maybe related to an accident on the property in which little George almost drowned in the winter of 1924). Around 1930 the house they were staying in burned to the ground which contained the Family Bible. Soon after, Vida, sat down with her mother and composed a new family Bible from Lenora memory. The family moved in the top of a Pack House and remained here unto they moved to Nichols around 1937.
Lenora inherited her daddy old home place in 1936 after a court case between her and her brother Pearli but Robert Charlie refused to stay near his family or hers. So they decided to rent the house out to her nephew J.B. Hayes. Soon after they moved to Nichols, SC as a share cropper and attended Nichols Baptist Church.
In 1943 he took in his granddaughter Sally Ann Turner a month before he died, after her mother Edna Cooke Turner pasted away and her father gave her up. The day he died Vida was cooking pig-tails and rice when about 5:30 she went out into the field to call for her daddy to come and eat (Vida never left home and never married). When she called she notice the mules was on the edge of the woods not moving. When she got closer she realized that the mules have drugged him to the edge of the woods and he was dead. He had a massive heart attack.
Cox Funeral Home put him away in the Cooke Family Cemetery and soon after his wife, daughter, and granddaughter moved to the old Joel B. Hayes Farm. (Interview conducted by Christopher H. Daniels in 2004 to Sally Ann Turner Page.)
