Maude is the young woman standing to left, with her baby Evelyn and her mother Caroline and Caroline's father Henry Adam Geist.
Maude was born Maude Adell Kuck in Flora Township, Renville County, just across the river from Redwood Falls, Redwood County, Minnesota. How she preferred to spell her name in later years is unconfirmed. Her father Henry Luther Kuck had immigrated to America in 1867 from Germany. His first wife died in childbirth and he soon married Maude's mother Caroline Wilhelmia Geist on 10 July 1880 in Chippewa County, Minnesota. In all, Maude had 12 full and half siblings. About 1907, Henry and most of his children migrated out west and settled in the Reardan and Spokane, Washington area. Most of the children changed the spelling to Cook about the same time. Record was found of a Maude Kuck prior to marriage in a Spokane City Directory working as a clerk and also on the 1910 US Census in Reardan where it states her occupation as a clerk.
On Valentine's day 1911 Maude married William Robert Maillie in Spokane, with brother Ernest Martin Cook and brother-in-law Charles "Everett" Crosby as witnesses. William appears to have been a nearby Odessa resident at the time they met, but this is unconfirmed. During his lifetime records found that he had been a dairyman, barber and realtor.
According to various found records and family obituaries, the Maillie's appear to have lived in and/or raised their children in the Castle Rock, Goldendale, White Salmon, Washington and/or across the Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon. They were listed in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland at one point and they later lived out their final years in the Woodburn/Salem area. In 2014 contact was made with her descendants who provided not only similar information, but also passed along some copies of old passed down news clippings related to Maude and her parents, thus further proving familial ties to other Kuck/Cooks of Minnesota and Washington State.
Confirmation was given by a family member that Maude and her husband William are buried in the Rose City Cemetery. Maude's sister Wanda Marie and brother in-law Edward Lee Johnston are buried in the same cemetery as well.
Maude is the beautiful young mother of the baby Evelyn in the photo to the right, courtesy of her mothers Geist Family descendants. This contributor later found that even in her line there was an old photo negative of a companion photo taken the same day of just Caroline and baby Evelyn. Thus even further proving the family ties.
In 2018 while visiting with another descendant, this contributor was able to read a passed down condolence letter that Maude had written to her niece Katherine (Kuck), Hart circa 1959 upon the death of Katherine's mother Nellie (Campbell) Cook who had been Maude's sister in-law. It was very heartfelt, beautifully written and in it Maude had quoted Exodus.
