ISAAC H. COOK, one of the representative citizens of Aubbeenaubbee township,
was born in Crawford County, Ohio, Jan. 25, 1854. His parents were John and
Rachel (Neff) Cook. His father was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1826. He
was twice married. He first married Rachel Neff, who bore him the following
children and then passed away in death: David W., Mary, Sarah, George F.,
Emanuel, John, Isaac H., Maggie and Susan. When the subject of this sketch was
a small boy he lost his mother in death. Subsequently his father married Sarah
Neff, a sister of Rachel Neff. Unto this marriage one child was born, viz.
Catharine L. Soon after John Cook's first marriage he moved to Crawford
County, Ohio. He was an honest, toiling and respected farmer, and lived to a
respectful old age, and then married Laura N.A. Myers, whose parents were
Samuel and Elizabeth Myers. The marriage occurred in Ohio and later he came to
Indiana and settled on his present homestead in Aubbeenaubbee township where
he has since grown prosperous as a farmer and gained rank among the leading
citizens. He is a defined democrat, in politics, never swaying from the
principles of the party. His wife, who is a most estimable lady, is a member
of the Lutheran church, but Mr. Cook is a member of the M.E. Church.
