CHARLOTTE MAE CROOK, editress of the Glenwood Phonograph, is the daughter of W. J. and Sarah E. McKasson, of Kirskville, MO. She was born in La Plata, Mo., February 9, 1879, and educated in the public and high school of that town. She came to Glenwood from Kirksville June 23, 1908, and began work for E. M. Howlett, the editor of the Phonograph. She took charge of the paper September 19, 1908. The Phonograph had a circulation of about five hundred principally in Schuyler county. Mrs. Crook was editress and type setter, and in that fact attended to all the work. She was probably the only woman in the state doing a similar work.

Mrs. Crook was married April 22, 1909. Her husband is Mr. Fred Crook, the barber, of Glenwood. He is thirty-two years of age.

Mrs. Crook is a member of Kirksville Rebekah Lodge No. 44, and in 1908, represented this Lodge at the Rebekah Assembly in Excelsior Springs, and also, at Springfield in 1909.

Under Mrs. Crook's management, the Phonograph was non partisan in politics. It ceased publication early in 1910.
