General Notes: Husband - Adam Cook

---

Of German birth and parentage, he was the first of his line to come to America, settling first in West Virginia. Later he went to Kittanning, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he married. Not long after their marriage they made their home on the Allegheny river, his business, that of riverman, keeping him employed between East Brady and Pittsburgh. When the first railroads were built in that locality and the progress and prosperity that always attended their arrival had fully set in, he established in the hotel business, erecting the first hotel on the Allegheny river at American Furnace, an investment that resulted most profitably. A few years later he opened a grocery store in the same place, another venture that was favorably received, after which he entered the oil fields, operating in the vicinity of Parker, Foxburg, and Knox, after a few years being appointed express agent and so continuing until his retirement from active business. He died in Petrolia, Butler county, Pennsylvania, aged seventy years.
He and his wife were earnest members and regular attendants of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Of their twelve children, two were still living in 1914.
