BURIED 1 FEB. 1922 LOT 90 SPACE 2. FROM OLD RICHARDVILLE PUBLICATION. (From Mark) Enlisted as a Private on May 2, 1864 at the age of 25.

Michael Couk was born in Preble County, Ohio, on the 29th day of December 1837, and departed this life at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Scott Walker in Ind., on Feb. 1st, 1922, age 84 years, 1 month and 3 days. On the 15th day of September, 1860, he was united in marriage to Eliza Jane Davisson in the above named county and state. To this union were born nine children, six of who survive him, namely; Mary B. Oakley, Clara C. Platt, Emma Walker, John and David Couk and Pearl Loop, all of whom are present at the funeral except Clara C. of Lake Alford, Florida, and Mrs. Pearl Loop of Culver City, Cal. He also leaves fourteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. His wife passed to her reward on the 25th day of Oct., 1916.
In the year 1869 Mr. and Mrs. Couk and their three children who had been born to them moved to Ind. and settled in Cass Co. on what is now known as the John Sprinkle farm and have lived in or near Galveston until the time of his death. Mr. and Mrs. Couk were converted and joined the
United Brethren church at Castina, Ohio. Mr. Couk had been a member of the United Brethren Church of Galveston for about 40 years. He entered the service of his country in the Civil War on March 2, 1864 and served in Company D 156th Reg. of Ohio until the close of the war. He was a member of the Grand Army Post and of the Knights of Pythias Order.
The education of Mr. Couk was perhaps about an average of men of his age, but as to judgment and good hard practical sense he was far above the average. Many younger men who have known him and have had an occasion to ask him his advise in regard to some of the every day problems of life, will be glad to testify that he always gave good practical advise. He had his faults, there are few of us who have not, but he was no pretender; he would stand, for what he believed to be right, if all others differed from him. He especially detested pretenders in the matter of Religion and Morality. A man with the strength of Bro. Couk physically, mentally and morally will influence a community for good for many years to come. Why weep ye then for him. Who having won the bound of man's appointed years, at last. Life's blessings all enjoyed, Life's labors done serenely to his final rest has passed: While the soft memory of his virtues yet lingers like twilight.
