He had attained 75 years, 9 months, and 20 days. Mr. Mook was born in Union County, Pennsylvania, Nov. 20, 1807. When he was a young man of nineteen he emigrated to Monroe Co., N.Y., and from thence to Ohio, and settled upon his present home on the Butternut Ridge, a few miles southeast of town,where he has a fine farm of eighty acres that under his careful management made him not only a pleasant home, but contributed largely to his wealth. He married Anna M. Vogt Mar 27, 1837, Rev. Neible officiating. This union was blessed with eight children, six of them remaining to mourn a fathers death. Mr. Mook early professed faith in Christ, and identified himself with the Evangelical Association, and, having acquired more than a fair average education, in that he was familiar with Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, while a young man often served the association in the capacity of a local preacher, and was often called to officiate at funerals. He also acquired quite an extensive knowledge of the theory and practice of medicine, and followed it for many years successfully. He accumulated a large library of valuable books with which he hadan intimate acquaintance and was thus a man of varied attainments, altho peculiar in many ways. His funeral was largely attended Wednesday at the York Center Evan. Church, under ministration of Rev. Shupp, and interment in the Free Chapel cemetery. Bequiescat in pace. _____ File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/oh/sandusky/obits/m/mook1363gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/ohfiles/ File size: 2.2 Kb
