I am sorry but this photo is of my grandfather’s mother, Joetta Cockrell Hocker who was the 2nd wife of William Edward Hocker. His first wife was Joetta’s sister, Nora Ann Cockrell.

Patty, are you sure of the identification? After looking back through my info, I’m confident that it’s a photo of William and one of his wives, but I’m not sure which wife.
I have additional photos of William’s wives from Bill Wingeard’s book. The woman in this photo doesn’t look anything like the photos identified as the Cockrell sisters. Of course, one photo is identified as both Nora (COCKRELL) Hocker AND Leonora (REDMON) HOCKER, so it makes identification somewhat difficult. I’ll post those photos…maybe it will help.
Unfortunately, I can’t find this photo in the information Bill got from John Garrett HOCKER (William and Leonora’s grandson).
