Bio

William F Cook was the 10th of 12 children born to George W Cook and Elizabeth 'Eliza' J Bird. On 4 Feb 1891 in David City, Butler County, Nebraska, USA , William married Margaret 'Maggie' S Spatz. 4 children were born and all have passed. William does appear on a U.S., Register of Civil, Military, and Naval Service, 1863-1959 record on 1 July 1897 in David City, Butler, Nebraska, USA , which reports his employment as a Clerk in the David City Post Office. William and his Cook family members were very visible and active in David City, Butler, Nebraska, USA for several generations, so there are many Newspaper articles documenting their various travels to visit one and other and celebrate events such as marriages and anniversaries. All of William's recorded adulthood (Marriage, Military records, US Censuses) is in David City, Butler County, Nebraska, USA . For most of his career, he was a Drayman, and he was a Janitor in his later years. William's Obituary in The People's Banner ( pub. 15 Feb 1951 in David City, Nebraska) confirms his DOB/POB, DOD/POD. His obituary also reports that he sat on the City Council in David City, and he was an Honorary Fireman at one time.
