John H. Mook, one of the prominent farmers of York township and a highly respected
resident, died very 
suddenly at his home near Colby Tuesday evening at 7 o’clock, aged 66 years, 7
months and 23 days.

Deceased had been in failing health for several months, but was able to be up and
around.  He spent the 
afternoon at the blacksmith shop at Colby and started for home about 6 o’clock. 
When in front of the 
residence of T.A. Zimmerman, Mr. Mook was observed to stagger and fall.  Neighbors
carried him home 
and Dr. Baker, of Clyde, was hastily summoned.  He was, however, unable to render
any assistance as the 
unconscious man passed away shortly after the physician arrived.  Death was due to a
stroke of apoplexy.

Deceased was a son of the late Conrad Mook and was born and raised in York township
where his entire 
life was passed.  He was married to Miss Katie Swartz, the widow who survives. 
Deceased leaves one son, 
Charles Mook, who is married and lives at the old homestead.  He also leaves four
sisters; Mrs. W.S. Jones, 
of Colby, Mrs. J. Fitterer, of Flat Rock, Mrs. Theodore Fitterer, of near Bellevue.
Mrs. Samuel Royer, another 
sister, died several years ago.

The funeral will take place from York Free Chapel Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock with

could not read 
because of the quality of the photocopy.  It was something from H.W. Longfellow.*

apoplexy Tuesday evening, Aug 28, 1906.  Three years ago July 27, while visiting at

Mr. Mook suffered a similar stroke since which time he has suffered much, especially
the last four months

blacksmith shop where he 
had spent most of the afternoon and was assisted home where he died soon after.  He

of this place for about 40 years and was a man with a quiet, disposition and spent
much of his time in his 
home where he will be especially missed not only by those who cared for him during
his sufffering but also 
by the little grandson in whom he took great delight and was a constant companion.
