The Rochester Sentinel
Saturday, December 18, 1880

Hiram D. COOK is dead. He died yesterday at about 10 a.m. Mr. Cook was pretty 
well known by the citizens of the town. For a long time he and his family, 
consisting of a wife and four children, have been in poor health and he being 
a cripple, as well as one or two other members of the household, the family 
has fared none of the best often suffering for the necessaries of life and at 
other times being applied by the charity of the neighbors. To save the expense 
of rent, the family occupied one of the halls on the fair ground all summer, 
but as cold weather came on they came back into town. For some time the 
husband and wife have both been prostrated by sickness. He is now dead and she 
is very low. It is indeed a sad case. A dead husband and father and a sick 
mother with four children dependent upon her for support is a case of woe, 
destitution and want often known in larger cities but seldom becomes realities 
in towns of the size of Rochester. The deceased was about forty years old. 
When the funeral will take place we have not learned.
