Wayne G. Cook
Wayne Goodrich Cook was the second child born to John H. Cook, and Amelia Goodrich Cook. Wayne was born premature, weighing only 2 1/2 pounds. He was an invalid and sat in his wheelchair all his life. This was a "great care" for his loving parents.
When Wayne was about four years old, he spent about a year in Salt Lake City where he could get medical help. His father had a job grading the grounds around the Capital building which had just been built. Wayne was able to walk some with braces and help for a few years. His little brother was watched by an aunt so Mother could be with Wayne in Salt Lake.
It was heartbreaking as the years went by and Wayne had to remain in a wheelchair. His adolescent years brought on new problems and he would occasionally cry with bitterness. This was a great source of grief to the whole family, but no doubt his Mother Millie bore the brunt of it. Wayne became reconciled to it and bore the unbearable without complaint.
