Miller officiating. Burial was in Rose Hill cemetery.

Pall bearers were A. E. Thomas, J. E. Conn, D. J. Wilkinson,

Mr. Cook, who came to Texas in 1884 from Ripley County, Indiana, was familiarly known as Uncle Jake to the old time
residents. He had lived 50 years on the stock farm he purchased when he moved to Texas. Many Arlington people
attended the services Tuesday.

He is survived by his widow and three children, Squire T.,
Ft. Worth; Arvy B. Cook, Handley; and Mrs. Grace Faltz, Indianapolis and a grandchild, Jakey Calvin Cook, Handley.
