JOHN M. COOK, Butler County, was born in Ohio County, Ky., April 22,
1832, and is the third in a family of seven children born to James and
Jane (Raines) Cook, both of whom were natives of Tennessee. James Cook
was educated and married in his native State, where he was engaged in
agricultural pursuits all his life. He and his wife separated in
Tennessee, and about 1830 or 1831, Mrs. Cook removed to Ohio County,
with her family, and remained there for several years when subject was
born to her and William Arnold. He retained the name of Cook from his
mother. She then came to Butler County, and settled on Indian Camp
Creek. For the last five or six years of her life she made her home
among her children. Her death occurred in the fall of 1868. She was a
member of no church but was nevertheless a devout Christian. John M.
Cook received only a limited common school education in youth. As soon
as he was able to work, the care and support of his mother and several
younger brothers and sisters devolved mainly upon him. He left home and
commenced life's battle for himself at the age of seventeen, being first
employed as a laborer on a farm, which he continued until 1854. He then
farmed on rented lands for some eight years. In 1862, he bought a
partially improved farm of 100 acres on the Indian Camp Creek, Butler
County, Ky., where he improved a farm and remained about six years. In
1868, he traded this place for another partially improved farm of 116
acres in the same neighborhood, where he has since improved the farm
upon which he now resides, and to which he has added sixty acres. He
was first married, in 1854, to Eliza J. Haney, a native of Butler
County, Ky. To this union were born two daughters, both of whom are
living, viz.: Sarah J. Evans and Martha A. Daughety. Mrs. Eliza J. Cook
departed this life in April, 1858, and Mr. Cook next married, April 24,
1859, Perlina J. Daughety, also a native of Butler County, Ky., born
July 24, 1842, a daughter of William and Abigail (White) Daughety, both
of whom were natives of Kentucky. Seven children were born to this
union, six of whom, all sons, are living: John W. (deceased), Monroe,
McClellan, William A., Stephen T., Robert L., and Joseph M. Mr. Cook
and wife have been for many years members of the United Baptist Church.
In politics he is a Democrat. He was formerly a member of the Grange.
