John Cook
 1815-

John Cook, oldest son of Henry Cook was born in Verona, Onieda county, N.Y.,
March 15, 1815, came to Michigan with his father's family in 1832, since
which time he has lived in Eckford, and on the same farm where the family
first settled, for a period of nearly fifty-six years.  Mr. Cook is an
experienced and practical apiarist, and for a number of years has devoted a
good deal of time to the culture of bees.  "Uncle John," as he is more
commonly called by those who know him best, is of a generous disposition,
has a kind word for one and all, and has not an enemy in the wide world.
He was never married.
