DAVID M. COOK, grocer, Morris, was born in Perry County, Penn., January 13, 
1837. His father, James COOK, died in Pennsylvania when David was nine years 
of age, and his mother moved with her family to Miami County, Ohio. Here his 
mother and one brother died. The three remaining brothers came to Warren 
County, Ill., in the spring of 1855. In the fall of 1856, they moved to 
Morris, Grundy County, where he and his brother, John W., established a 
restaurant and provision store on Washington street. Our subject was married, 
November 2, 1860, to Miss Jane CLAYPOOL, daughter of Perry A. CLAYPOOL; she
