Read More	Great-grandpa Hook was the 12th of 13 children, and youngest surviving child, born to Thomas and Antoinette Hook. He grew up on a farm in Oregon, Dane county, Wisconsin. He married Matilda Larson in 1890 and they had 4 children: Chester, Hazel, Gladys, and my grandmother, Myrtle. Sometime before Great-aunt Hazel was born in 1893, they moved from Oregon, Wisconsin to western Iowa. Egbert, his older brothers, except Norman, and his sisters all moved into western Iowa about the same time to farm. Grandpa Hook was a wheeler and dealer, which sometimes worked out very well, and sometimes not. At some point about 1906-1908, he sold his farm in Iowa, and purchased a farm in Colorado, or so he thought. When that didn't work out, Egbert, Matilda, and the three older children, moved to eastern Nebraska, in the Brownville, Brock area of Nemaha county. There he held a variety of jobs from railroad laborer to sheriff to a laborer in a packing plant. They moved up to Havelock (now part of Lincoln) about 1930/1931 which is where my mother was born. Egbert again held a variety of jobs until his death. In 1930 he was a teamster, and in the late 1930's he drove a tractor mowing alongside the roadways. He was greatly loved by his family, especially the grandchildren. My mom remembers him walking her to and from school when she was very young, because they had to cross a railroad track. And he loved hoarhound candy. He died a week after having a stroke while digging a basement at his home - in July - at age 77.
