                   Death Ends Career Of Popular Official
Death came to Henry J. Cook, aged 76 years, at his home in Ionia on Sunday 
and not only ended more than three years of serious illness but along with 
it ended the career of a splendid, popular and well liked citizen who had 
served the people of this country for a period of four years as sheriff and 
then as under-sheriff to his successor in office, for another period of six 
years. 

Mr. Cook was born at Allegan and came to Ionia when he was 22 years of age 
to take a position as guard at the Michigan reformatory, a position which he 
held for six years and then was advanced to the post of record clerk, which 
he held for 27 years, when he resigned from the reformatory post to enter 
business for himself. 

Surviving are the widow, Blanche, and the following children by his former 
marriage: Ora H. Cook, of Los Angeles, Calif.; Otis F. Cook, of East 
Lansing; Millard J. Cook, of Washington, D.C., and Holden Cook of Ronald 
township, and two daughters, Mrs. Marion Robinson and Mrs. George R. 
Banhagel, both of Ionia.

Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ in Ionia on Wednesday 
afternoon with Rev. Wayne Davis, pastor of the church, officiating and 
burial was in Highland Park cemetery in Ionia.
