Cook, Isaac F. Born December 7, 1832, in Fountain county, Indiana. When ten
years of age his parents moved to De Kalb county, Missouri, where he received
his education and was raised on a farm. In 1853 he emigrated to California,
crossing the plains with ox-teams, and after a tedious trip of four months,
arrived in Petaluma valley, in Vallejo township, on August 26th. Here he
remained about two months, when he went to El Dorado county and remained until
December 25, 1853. He then returned to this county and spent the Winter in the
red-woods, and the following Summer was spent in cutting hay on Petaluma flat.
In the Fall he visited Plumas county, and mined until the Fall of 1856, thence
to El Dorado county and mined, farmed and teamed until 1861, when he again
returned to this county and settled on his present estate, comprising one
thousand acres, located in Santa Rosa township, five miles from Santa Rosa. Mr.
Cook married on January 20, 1860, Miss Eliza Hopper of Santa Rosa. By this union
they have six living children: Thomas G., Jefferson D., Isaac N., Charles E.,
Alonzo S. and Andrew J.; three deceased: Virginia L., William H. and John W.
