[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

DUDLEY COOK, farmer: P. O. Dry Run; was born in Fayette County, Ky., to
John and Elizabeth (Dingle) Cook, Oct. 11, 1825; he was a farmer, and died
in 1862; she was a native of Maryland; came to Fayette County when quite
young, and died in 1864; was the mother of nine children, four daughters
and five boys, our subject being the youngest.  He was compelled to
receive his education from the common schools, such as his country
afforded in that day.  In 1846 he began farming and trading in stock on
his own account; in 1857 removed to Boone County, and in 1865 removed to
his present residence, where he has since remained, engaged in farming.
He is the owner of 363 acres of well improved land, situated on the
Cincinnati Pike, five miles from Georgetown.  He commenced life as a poor
boy, and by his close economy and hard work, succeeded in gaining a good
property.  In March, 1857, he was married to Miss Eliza Cook, a native
of Scott County, born in 1836.  Mr. and Mrs. Cook have had five children,
three of whom are now living, viz: Oscar, Charley and Warren.  Mr. Cook
is a gentleman commanding the respect of all the people of his community.
He has always acted independent of sects or denominations, yet always
favored anything known to be right, and is not in sympathy with any
scheme or enterprise that will not augment the interests of the people at
large.  He is no partisan, but a firm and solid Democrat.
