Porter, Medicine Hat, Alberta. He was a former well-known resident of this town and had attained the great age of 99 years and one month. Born seven miles from Londonderry, County Tyrone, Ireland, on Dec 24, 1827, he emigrated to New York State in 1846 on the sailing vessel Mary Norris, of New York. He landed in the City of New York on May 1 after 28 days sailing. His first job was on a farm for the summer at a salary of $5.00 per month. Due to ill health he took a course in day school. After spending seven years in New York he came to Orangeville and applied for a position as a teacher at the village of Mono Mills. He was engaged to teach a country school at a salary of $15 per month, provided he was successful in passing an examination at Fergus, 22 miles distant, to which he walked and where he succeeded in obtaining a certificate. After teaching school for seven years, Mr. Cook turned his attention to the lumber business and built a saw mill run by water power, which he successfully operated for a number of years, after which he was engaged in farming until 1901. Mr. Cook was married on Aug. 23, 1866 to Eliza Gillespie, who died here in June 1898. Since his retirement 15 years ago, Mr. Cook had resided with his daughter at Medicine Hat. He is also survived by a son, James Cook, of Irvine, Alberta.
