Charles and Fred Cook

Charles Ray "Jinks" "Jinx" Cook and his brother, Fred William "Bud" Cook (my maternal grandfather) in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio in probably the late 1920's. Charles may have been about 11 or 12 years old and Fred may have been about 8 or 9 years old in this photo. I am only guessing their ages. They were the sons of Lena Ethel (Tribbey) Henry Cook and Charles Cook. This photo was probably taken at 1805 Pleasant Ave because the family lived there in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio from about the mid 1920's to 1929. Fred was born on High St and grew up on Walnut, Pleasant Ave, Sth 14th St and Maple Ave.
Fred always said he had German and Dutch ancestors. Fred's daughter, Terry remembers Fred cooking German foods. Fred would cook German muffins.
