The Weston Independent, Tues. 28 Aug. 1900:
George Cook - Death of a Pioneer: Born at Monterey, VA in 1826 died at his home on Canoe run, Wed., Aug. 23, 1900, aged 74 years. Moved to Lewis county in 1848, reared a family of twelve children, eight living. Funeral from his late residence on Friday, laid to rest in the Swecker cemetery.

NOTE: Suggested edit: Per West Virginia, U.S., Deaths Index, 1853-1973, with his DOD as 23 Aug 1900, shows his age-at-death as 74 yrs 2 months 19 days, so I believe his DOB is actually 4 Jun 1826. Still trying to find and link up everyone's memorials, but George was the oldest child of John A Cook (1803-1866) and Catharine/Catherine Arbogast. He had 7 siblings and 3 half-siblings from his father's 2nd marriage to Margaret Ann Bird.
