Notes:
                   The last name is also Hook. (Initially it was Huck, but then changed to Hook). Could also be HOUCK.
Mary Frances carried on the bakery for many years after the death of her
husband.
I am not sure about the birth order of the children.
She may have gone by Frances. In the church records she is always Frances.
