Wickenburg (AZ) Graphic Friday, October 16, 1931, p 8:4 Yavapai County Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cook have returned from Texas where they were called by the death of Mr Cook's father. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lynn County News (Tahoka TX) October 1931 After a lingering illness from an intestinal cancer, Frank P Cook, residing on the Wolfforth Ranch near Tahoka Lake, died soon after four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Funeral arrangements have not been completed, awaiting the arrival of a son, Tom Cook, who resides at Seligman, Arizona. The funeral will probably be conducted from the Methodist Church, however, and burial will be in the City cemetery. Mr Cook had been a resident of Lynn county for the past nine years and had resided on the Wolfforth Ranch for six years. He had been a resident of Texas almost forty years, coming to this state from North Bloomfield, Ohio, where he was born. He spent almost his entire life in this state as a ranch employee. He was first married in 1895, and of this marriage two children were born, Mrs Dewey Hollebeke of Pecos, Texas, and Tom Cook of Seligman, Arizona. Mrs Hollebeke arrived Wednesday night following her father's death. Deceased was married a second time on November 24, 1923, and his second wife, Mrs Cora Cook, survives him. He leaves no brothers nor sisters. Mr Cook was of a quiet retiring disposition and came to town very infrequently but those who knew him highly esteemed him for his sterling character and genial nature. The News joins other friends in expressions of sympathy to the bereaved wife, son and daughter.
