His record of his grandmother Ann Eliza Howland Cook:  "This record finished Grandmother’s work for this side of the veil. She was a very careful recorder of events, had a worry for all of her posterity(,) suffered intensely with pain in her leg and weight of her body.  She suffered in her feelings seriously from grandfather’s taking a fourth wife and asking her to divorce in order to marry legally. She was very quiet and patient. Was a well-educated deep character(.) Spoke good English and taught her children correct forms and cultural ways.   My Father, (Alonzo Cook) always corrected us children in our English. She had taught him so carefully. Humility was such a firm rooted characteristic with her that she breathed it into all her children. Because of father’s care in English we children had easy times in school with grammar."(Ann Eliza Howland Cook Diary, 1894-1896, compiled by A. L. Cook, p. 127)
