General Notes: Husband - Amanuel M. Cook

---

He was brought up to practical familiarity with the routine of work then followed by many, even in boyhood working with his father at lumbering and rafting and learning the details of the various occupations connected with the business. He became an expert river pilot, taking considerable square timber down the streams, as well as a number of the boats which he and his father built. They also operated a sawmill, and were associated until some time after the son's marriage. At the age of twenty-nine years he settled on the farm in Barnett township which he ever afterwards occupied, having a tract of seventy acres located half a mile east of Cooksburg, and fifteen miles from the county seat, Brookville. In his earlier years he had helped to clear and develop this very land, which was part of the homestead of his father and of his maternal grandfather, John Agnew, and the house built by Mr. Agnew back in the eighteen-forties was still standing eighty years later and in good condition, having been kept in thorough repair. Mr. Cook lived in it until he built a substantial residence on the property, in 1890. Though the farm was partly improved when he settled there he had to clear out a great deal of brush. The barn was built in 1901, spring water was carried into the house, and numerous other improvements marked the progress during the thirty years and more he resided there. He did general farming, and all his business interests were in that line. However, he found time for the duties of citizenship, and took a keen interest in local affairs, serving seven years as school director of his township, and some years as supervisor. He never aspired to county office. On political questions he was allied with the Republican party. With his wife he belonged to the Pine Grove Methodist Episcopal Church. [HJC 1917 II, 199]
