Obituary Alma Dean COOK
MRS. JUDSON COOK PASSES
Alma Dean Cook, one of the city's oldest people and one of the county's longest time residents, passed away at the home of her son, Stephen, in this city, Monday afternoon, March 2nd at the advanced age of 89 years and 4 months.
Mrs. Cook's life had been full of rich experiences attendant upon pioneering in this and Vernon counties. Born in Indiana where her father was a physician and surgeon, she came to Wisconsin with her parents in 1850, when her father located at Lynxville, in Crawford county. Mrs. Cook received her education in Wisconsin and after her father, Dr. Luke Dean, removed to Viroqua, she engaged in teaching school in Richland and Vernon counties.
It was while engaged in teaching a school near Viroqua that she went through the experience of losing her mother and her home by the Viroqua cyclone. (ed. note: stepmother)
In 1866 she was united in marriage with Judson A. Cook and settled on a farm in the town of Sylvan, where they reared their family amidst the environment of typical pioneer life as it was lived at that time.
Eight children blessed that happy union, all save one of whom survive her. They are Mrs. Arthur Fish, of this city and St. Petersburg, Florida; Dean, whose home is in Oklahoma, but who is visiting here at present; Mrs. Myrtle Walker, of this city; Lee, of Sylvan; Stephen, of Richland Center; Amos, who lives on the old home farm in Sylvan; and Emerson, of Idaho. A son, Horace, died many years ago. The husband, Judson A. Cook, passed away a few years ago.
Definite funeral arrangements have not been made at the hour this paper is being printed, awaiting the arrival of the daughter, Mrs. Fish, who is on her way here from Florida, and presumably the arrival of the son who lives in Idaho.
