UNMARKED GRAVE
Jacob Cook (1805-1867), is listed as a chairmaker of German descent at the Knoxville Historical Society in East Tennessee where one of his "Sweetwater Valley" chairs is on display. Curator, Michelle McDonald (2016).
In the early 1830s Jacob Cook's name is listed as one of the petitioners asking for a German speaking minister for the community's Lutheran church. It is disputed by some as to whether this was our Jacob Cook or an Uncle or Cousin, since he would've only been about 16 at the estimated time the petition was signed, and is being researched. Members of his family still attend the Church today.
St. Paul is the only Lutheran church in Monroe County today.
