He was born to Leonard and Edna Perry Cook on June 11, 1914, at what is now the Jack Grove Ranch. At the time, the family lived at Newland, above the Bare Ranch. When Kenneth and his brother Floyd started school, the family moved to Menlo, south of Eagleville, so the boys would be closer to school. Kenneth also attended school in Gerlach and Yerington, NV. His father died when he was nine. When Kenneth was about 14 years old, he came to live and work for his uncle Ernie Cook in Eagleville and spent two years in Surprise Valley High School in Cedarville, at which time the five daughter of Ernie became like sisters to Kenneth. Sometime after high school he went back to Yerington to his mother and brother and stepfather Walter Dunn. For several years he worked in this area as a sheepherder, cowboy, dairyman (deliveries) and with the bees. He was back and forth between Yerington, Gerlach, NV and Eagleville, CA, in his younger years. He returned to live in Eagleville when he waa about 21, as he and his brother inherited the Cook Ranch. They tried to farm the ranch, but dry years made it hard. Seven years later, they sold the ranch to Joe Bicondoa. On April 20, 1937, Kenneth married Alleva Coonse in Reno, NV., after going together for over a year. They moved into the house across from the church in Eaglville. At the time, Kenneth was working for his uncle Ernie Cook, but a year later, he went to work for Bud Lewis, driving a school bus to Cedarville. Two years later, Kenneth bought his own bus and drove it, until the school boards decided to buy their own bus. Thus, Kenneth sold his bus to the school, and went to work for them. School bus driving was only part-time, so during school hours Kenneth worked for Lewis and Gertie Grove as a mechanic. During World War II, the school board decided each school but driver (the other being Lewis Vaughn), was to spend three hours per day at school cleaning up and such around the school. Lewis gave Kenneth his three hours per day so Kenneth went to work full-time. He was able to take the students on FFA trips, to sports events, on Senior Sneak Day and took the Surprise Valley high School Band to the East-West game in San Francisco. IN 39 years of work for the Surprise Valley schools, Kenneth never took one day off for sickness or injury, retiring in 1977. Kenneth received an award in Sacramento for being a Surprise Valley Schol District school bus driver who remained accident free throughout all his years on the job. During his 25 years of retirment, he remained active, hunting and fishing, irrigatin his five acres in Eagleville, traveling and helpin his son Lynn operate a HaroBed. Mr. Cook was a member of Grange, a church Deacon, volunteer for the Eagleville Fire Department and an honorary FFA member. He was known for his infectious smile and keen wit that has sustained him through good times and bad along with his positive attitude. He was preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Edna, infant sister Fay, brother Floys, stepfather Walter Dunn and son Lynn in 1991. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Alleva of Eagleville; daughter and son-in-law Athen and Billy Flournoy of Likely; four grandchildren: Jeff Cook of Lincoln, CA, Roxann Hagedorn of Montague, CA, Dawne Desimone of Medford, OR and Darra Cook of Ravenel, South Carolina; five great-grandchildren: Nic, Gabrielle, Brittney, Austin and Kara; two nieces, Martha Ohe of Bakersfield and Joan Briggs of Oroville and two nephews, David Coonse of Redding and Eddy Coonse of Carson City, NV. Services were held March 19 at the Eagleville Cemetery.
