JOHN N. AND MARGARET STEWART COOK
John N. Cook, son of Thomas Munsey Cook and Rebecca Sizemore Cook was born in Wyoming County November 5, 1844. His wife, Margaret Stewart was born October 21, 1847. Her parents were George Pearis and Margaret Stewart. They moved to Mercer County after the Civil War. The family home was established on Widemouth Creek in 1874. A large log cabin was erected on the headwaters where he cleared a large farm and reared his family.
John N. Cook was a Union soldier and the hardships he endured permanently impaired his health. His active career was farming. A Baptist deacon for twenty years, he served as a member of the school board and was influential in community affairs. He, his brothers Calvin and Reverend Thomas Boyd Cook, and the Bailey family formed the Giatto Baptist Church.
John N. and Margaret had nine children. They were SHERMAN, married Manerva Lambert, children: Vida, Vernila, B. R. (Rouse), W. R. (Pete), and Mable; R. SCOTT, married Betty Huffman, children: Ernest, Ott, Leslie, Lida, and Grace; E. HAMILTON, Baptist minister, wife unknown, sons: Andy and Bernard; HENRY INGRAHAM (H. I.) Baptist minister, married Amanda Jane Meadows, their children Walter, D. West, Roy Leon and Neva Eleanor; HARRISON, married Ella Blankenship, children: Harry E., Stella, Aileen and Ova; the daughters, LAURA B. married R. W. (Rufus) Laxton; ORA DELL married Barnett Laxton; COZETTA married Riley Akers; and MAY married Jake Akers. (Harrison Cook was murdered while performing his duty as justice of the peace at Matoaka in 1918. The trial of Cleveland Boyd in 1925 for the crime was one of the most bizarre in West Virginia history.)
John N. Cook died January 8, 1898. His wife, Margaret, died February 20, 1911. Both are buried near Dott, W.Va.
