John M. Cook, a German, came to Ft. Randall as a soldier and was discharged in
1866. Since then his home has been in this county. After his discharge he
carried mail for a while. He lived on Papineau bottom and Pease island awhile, 
settling there in 1869 after Pease left. His wife was a Yankton Sioux, on whose 
allotment he now resides, between Geddes and Lake Andes.
