E. N. COOKE CAME HERE IN 1870, LEAVING AFTER 35 YEARS.  E. N. Cooke of
Wenatchee, pioneer of the Kittitas Valley, died suddenly at the home of his son
Claude Cooke of the Entiat yesterday morning [died November 16, 1925].

Mr. Cooke was born in Oregon in 1854 and with his family came to this valley in
1870.  He lived here continuously from then until about 20 years ago when he
moved to the Colockum near Wenatchee where he was interested in the fruit
industry.

His wife and four sons, Claude, Clyde, E. N. and Jay, survive him and he leaves
also two brothers, George B. and M. D. Cooke of this city, and two sisters,
Mrs. P. H. Schnebly of Ellensburg and Mrs. A. B. Whitson of Yakima.
