Cook his wife of the township of Hastings, County of Berry, State of Michigan to Lucy Spencer of the township of Richland. Lovica is named in both the will and probate of Daniel Cook. Strangely, she is named as his adopted daughter, although they were married in 1868. Apparently no one believed she would be married to such an old man, although she obviously was married to and cared for him to the end of his life and they had a child together. |
