• Notes

  Died: Obit: Jacob D. Cook of Millstone township committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn last Wednesday afternoon. The body was discovered by his son, Gilbert Cook. The rope was attached to a beam, on which he had evidently stood while tying the rope around his throat. It is thought he then let himself down gently and strangled to death, as his neck was not broken. A few days previous to his death he complained of a pain in his head. He is believed to have been temporarily insane. He was 56 years old and leaves a widow and six children.
