GEORGE W. COOK, son of Hezekiah Cook, of Warrington Township, was born June 30, 
1862, and was reared on the home farm, his winters being devoted to the district 
school, and also to a select school at Franklintown.  In September, 1880, he went 
to Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he passed eleven weeks at Eastman’s Business 
College.  On his return he was appointed teller of the Dillsburg National Bank, 
and a few years later was elected cashier, which position he still holds.  March 
23, 1882, he married Nannie M., daughter of William Beitzel, of Warrington 
Township, and the union has been blessed with two children:  May and Ralph.  Mrs. 
Cook is a consistent member of the United Brethren Church at Mt. Zion.
