King Cook
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: King Cook, a former well known resident of Norwich, celebrated, October 22, the 89th anniversary of his birth, at his home in Poolville. Mr. Cook, was born on a farm east of this village and for 88 years made his home there near the Rhode Island settlement, as it is known from the fact that so many of the early settlers in that section came from Rhode Island. Last spring Mr. Cook went to Poolville to reside with his nephew, Adelbert Cook. Mr. Cook's quaint wit and wise sayings won for him a wide acquaintance during his long residence in Norwich and many friends wish for him yet many more happy returns of his natal day.
Compiler Note: King Cook died in April 1905 at the age of 91 years and was buried in White Store Cemetery.
