For nearly six years Mr. Cook's left side has been paralyzed and during the past few weeks he has suffered greatly.
Few men and women in Adams County have followed the noble calling of teaching school longer than Mr. Cook. He taught 33 consecutive terms in Adams County, retiring from the noble calling only when health would no longer permit him to teach.

Two sisters and a brother also survive; Miss Elmira Cook, of Flora Dale, Mrs. Sarah A. Myers, of Moylan, and Rev. Albert J. Cook, of Johnstown. His wife was Miss Martha Harris, died in 1895. He was a kind husband and affectionate father.
