DALTON E. COOK

  Dalton E. Cook, aged 33, proprietor of the Home Decorating Service Company in 
Somerset, was found dead in bed at his home in the Somerset House Tuesday 
evening.  Coroner F. E. Sass was notified and said death probably resulted from 
a heart attack.  Dr. Sass said Cook probably died in his sleep Monday night.
  When Cook failed to report at his business establishment here during the day, 
hotel attendants were notified and started an investigation, which led to the 
discovery of the body.
  Dalton Cook was a son of Dalton H. and Estelle (Peck) Cook and was born in 
Meyersdale June 5, 1907.  He was graduated from Meyersdale High School and also 
attended Juniata College.  His father was killed in a grade-crossing accident 
here 25 years ago.
  Surviving are his mother and these brothers and sisters: James L. Cook, 
football coach at Ebensburg High School; Paul and Katherine L. Cook, both of 
Huntington; Mrs. W. H. Hahn, Meyersdale, and his grandmother, Mrs. J. M. Cook.
  Funeral services will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the 
home of his mother at 313 Broadway Street by Rev. Howard K. Hilner, pastor of 
the Zion Lutheran Church.  Interment will be in the Union Cemetery under the 
direction of W. C. Price & Son, Meyersdale morticians.
  Dalton Cook was of a kindly disposition, always ready to go out of the way to 
do a favor or act of kindness.
