OLDEST REAL DAUGHTER DEAD
Mrs. Susan Hurd Cook Passes Away in Clayton at Age of 102 Years
Susan Hurd Cook, aged 102 years, died at her home in Clayton last Thursday night. Mrs. Cook was a real Daughter of the Revolution, her father, Isaac Hurd, a drummer in the Continental army. She was a member of the LeRay De Chamount Chapter D.A.R. being undoubtedly the oldest real daughter in America.
Susan Hurd was born in Bennington county, VT., May 14, 1808, the daughter of Isaac and Mary Quicksall Hurd. Her father enlisted at Plainfield, Conn in 1775 for a term of eight months in the Continental army. The next year enlisted for a year and at the time of his discharge he re-enlisted, serving until within three or four months of the close of the war. In 1812 he moved to Champion, Jefferson county, and later to LaFargeville. Afterward he lived at Antwerp and later moved to Watertown, where he resided until his death in 1852. He himself almost reached the century mark, living until 97 years of age.
His daughter was married to Hale Cook, who died in Clayton over 30 years ago. Since her husband's death Mrs. Cook had lived in Clayton. Mrs. Cook did not become a member of the D.A.R. until she was nearly 100 years old. The nearest surviving relative is James Hurd, nephew, of Watertown.
