JAMES HERVEY COOK, an honored and upright citizen of Mansfield, whose entire life has been spent in Madison Township, died Thursday night at 9 o'clock at his home, No. 105 West Third Street.
He was born on a farm 2½ miles south of this city, September 3, 1816; was a son of Jabez and Hannah Cook, and a twin brother of Dr. Thomas McCurdy Cook, who died at his home at Sandusky, March 14, 1896.
Mr. Cook was married March 27, 1842, to Miss Mary A. Wiler, who, with three daughters and a son, survive him. The daughters are Mrs. George W. Blymyer, who is now in New Jersey; Mrs. Laura C. Bunker, of this city, and Mrs. Clada Sturges, of Dayton, and the son is James M. Cook, of this city.
Mr. Cook took to his bed November 23, having had a slight stroke of paralysis the day before. He was conscious up until his death. He has been identified with Mansfield's interests for many years. His elementary education was secured at the Sandy Hill school house, after which he continued his studies at Granville. He worked on the farm and also taught school for several winters. In the winter of 1840-41, he came to this city and has lived here continuously since that time. He taught school at the corner of Fourth and Mulberry Streets in a little red school house. In the spring of 1849, Mr. Cook took possession of the Wiler House and was engaged in the hotel business there continuously for 10 years. He then sold, but later was again proprietor of the Wiler House from 1864 to 1869. He was one of the first conductors on the Sandusky, Mansfield and Newark Railroad, after that road was constructed. Mr. Cook has been an officer of the Richland Mutual Insurance Company for about 30 years, being for many years it's president. He has also been president of the cemetery association for nearly that long.
Besides four children, Mr. Cook leaves seven grandchildren. Funeral arrangements have not, as yet, been made.
