Robert Avery McCOOK, got his education at Oak Grove School. James W. McCOOK thinks Harry DURFEE was the teacher at that time. Robert A. worked at Ed PEAECE's grocery store till it burned in about 188l He, then, went to work in Detroit on the street car line. He gor hurt and had to quit for a time, then went home and worked for Lon FRISBEE, and on the railroad section gang. He went to Grand Rapids and worked on the street cars for a short time, then quit that and went to Big Rapids to school. James W. McCOOK still has an autograph book signed by D.M. Ferris DAVENPORT who started a business school in Grand Rapids, and others.
Ferris Institute was ouiginally started to give immigrants and lumberjacks an opportunity to learn to read and write.
Robert A. McCOOK's college education took about six weeks. When an opportunity came to take an exam for mail service, he took it and passed.
James W. doesn't know if his first job was in California but he went to San Francisco the year after the big earthquake. He stayed their for two years and returned to Michigan. Then went to work as a mail clerk on the Grand Trunk Railroad. He spent forty-three years on that railroad.
Robert A. had an unusual memory-almost unbelievable. He knew all the post offices in six states and four Canadian provinces, what railroad they were on and what terminals they lay between. The states were Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The Canadian Provinces were Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.
They had to take exams either twice every three years or three times every two years. James W. doesn't remember for sure. They had to pass these exams in the high 90's or take them over again. They also had to "throw" sixty pieces per minute. There would be a row of open sacks hanging on racks and the letters had to be sorted and placed in the right one at the rate of one per second.
Robert Avery McCOOK and Eva May ELWOOD were married on June 1 1910, in Flint, Michigan. Bruce BUCKNELL and his wife Mabel were at the wedding. They bought the house in Port Huron, Michigan on Wall Street where my brother, Robert Elwood McCOOK was born on August 5, 1911. James Waite was born 2 years later on June 13, 1913 on a friday. Robert A. wrote in his diary that "the poor little guy would never make it". Whatever "make it" means I don't know.
Robert A. and Eve sold the house in Port Huron and moved to Flint on Mary street. My Aunt Hazel, Eva's only sister, met and married Donald Belyea sometime in there. He was an engineer for St. Clair County for several years. Their only son, Jerry was born some 20 years after they were married.
James W. dosen't know how long there famly lived on Mary Street but they sold that house and lived with his grandparents Elwood on Prospect Street while they built a house on Walcott Street, two or three blocks away. Robert A. and his in-laws never got along very well and James W. thinks that there living in the same house with them may have had a direct bearing on their relationship.
Rob and James W. had the flu while they lived on Walcott Street and had to ware masks when they went outdoors to keep from spreading germs. That was the big influenza epidemic during WWI. (1917-1918)
David McCOOK was born on July 24, 1917, in the house on Walcott Street, which cost $2800.00. It had two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and a big screened sleeping porch. James W. doesn't know just when they moved in, but he knows Dave was born there. The Doctor's name was McKENNA. Rob and James W. started school at Stevenson Street school.
James W. only went a few months in kindergarten till Robert A. sold out and we went to Oak Grove to live. That's when he bought the farm from his brother ROY who was a school teacher. Roy had buoght the farm from his brother-in-law, Ed HOUGHTALLING, who was his wife's brother.
Robert Avery McCOOK bought the farm from his brother Roy in 1918 just as the war was over. James W. can remember the false armistice a few days previous to the real one. Both times his familY got out dish pans and spoons and made a lot of noise. They were still living in Flint at the time. James W. can still see the U.S. Cavalry as they came charging down 3rd Ave, only to wheel and dash down into the sand pit, which was very deep, and then go charging back up again!
Robert A. moved in the Spring of 1919, to Oak Grove. Robert A. sold the house he had built on Walcott St. in Flint, for $2800.00, and moved into Uncle Earnie JUBBS' house in Oak Geove, two doors down from his father Robert McCOOK's house, for $15 per month. My sister Jean was born on June 22 and in August my mother broke her arm. I left my wagon in front of the back porch and when she went out after dark to empty the slop bucket, she fell over the wagon and her arm was broken at the elbow. Dr. HEFFERNAN, who was the local Dr., set it, but it was always stiff. She went to the hospital in Ann Arbor for a time but it never would straighten out all the way.
When Jean Adelaide McCOOK was born in June, 1919, Persia PEARCE went over to be their hired girl. Edith KEESLER was the nurse so they had a lot of excitig times that summer after Eva broke her arm! Persia was there for awhile but she had the job of teacher in the little two-room school (10 grades) that year in the fall so the children were on our own after school started. Their Grandmother ELWOOD came for a time while Eva was in the hospital. All this time my father Robert A. was working for the railroad. He was a mail clerk from Port Huron to Chicago, trains 14 and 17. His mail came to their Grandmother ELWOOD's house in Flint because a mail clerk was supposed to live in a town on the railroad where he worked. Every few days they had to call their Grandmother in Flint or she called them about Robert A's office mail.
Robert A. worked six days and then had six days off. He would make three round trips starting at Port Huron. One day to Chicago, sleep over, and back to Port Huron the next day. He spent a lot of time in the library when he was in Chicago and nearly always brought us books to read after we got old enough to be interested. Zane Grey, James Oliver Curwood, etc.
In 1921 or 1922 they were building the road or should I say improving it from a two-wheel track to a four-wheel track and putting gravel on it, but that winter it was a real mess! Cars were stuck everywhere! Nearly all the work was done with horses. A farmer could make $6.00 a day hauling gravel from the pit in Oak Grove on Guy HOSLEY's farm to wherever the grading crew happened to be. Each wagon carried one yard of gravel. The grading crew were other farmers with teams and plows and some with two wheeled scrapers with a long arm or lever to lift the load clear of the ground after the bucket was full. Clare WESSINGER got a broken arm when the lever flew up and the catch didn't hold. That ruined Clare's pitching arm. He had been Oak Groves best pitcher up to that time! The arm on thoes two-wheelers was about 10 feet long and stood about straight up while the bucket was being loaded. Then the loader, who was a tall, heavy, young guy, would climb up on the rig, grab the lever, and swing out and down to raise the bucket from the ground. Then the farmer, or teamster, would haul the dirt to wherever it was needed on the road bed. Slip scrapers were used for short hauls. There were probably 40 or 50 teams of horses working on the road past theMcCOOK's house. Lots of excitement!
There's was a state road. It was put in under what was called the Covert Road System. The property owners one mile on each side were supposed to be taxed for it; but the people on the Byron Road got up a petition to have their road rebuilt under the same system, so only a quarter mile wide was taxed for our road and the burden was real heavy for the McCOOK's for a few years. He had to raise over $300.00 for a few years in the 1920's. Ten years later, his taxes on 160 acres were only $55.00. The people on the Byron road dropped their petition after the tax base was established, so their road has never been paved 60 years later!
The secondary roads were township roads and a farmer could work out his road tax by working on them, but Robert A. never did. Gradually, the county took over all the roads except the interstate 96 and 59.
Charles READER and Aunt Grace lived on and worked Robert A's farm until March, 1921, when he bought the Claud THAYER farm in Oak Grove. Robert A. moved his family out to our farm in March, 1922, and hired Walt MORGAN as hired man to run it. After Walt came Percy PRICHARDS and Clarence BENNETT. Their farming operation left something to be desired with their father gone more than half the time. So, in the Spring of 1923, they bought their GranfarherMcCOOK's house in Oak Grove where Wade McCOOK was born on May 24, 1923. James W. was in the 4th grade then and Dave started school that year. (Mrs. Ira MERRILL was the little room teacher then and Alden, her son, taught the big room). Dave sat in a double seat with James W. and James helped Wade along by hitting him on the head a lot, so the teacher moved him.
Albert ABRAMSON moved on the farm that spring of 1923. He got off to a bad start by having appendicitis. The neighbors helped Robert A. get the crop in. In March 1924 we moved back to the farm.
Saturday evening, June 1st 1935 the members of the Kings Daughters Sunday School class with there husbands drove out to the pleasant farm home of Mr.and Mrs. Robert McCOOK with well filled baskets to remind them that they had been married 25 years. Guessing games were played and Mrs. PEARSON rendered several piano solos. An original poem dedicated to the bride and groom was given by Mrs. Chrystal GURNEE. The baskets were then opened and supper served. A beautiful silver wedding cake topped by a miniature bride and groom was presented by Mrs. M. A. Pearce. At a late hour the guests departed wishing Mr. and Mrs. McCOOK many more years of happiness.
Following is the original Poem as given by
Mrs. GURNEE:
Just twenty-five years today, Rob,
We walked down the aisle together
And heard the preacher say the words
That none but God can sever.
A happy smile was on my face
I wore a gown so fair,
And love was shrined within my heart
It seemed I walked on air.
And with the service over
A ringlet small of gold
You placed upon my finger
But Oh! how much it told.
Then down the years we started, Rob,
With hopes and visions bright,
It has not all been sunshine
There must be bitter night
But as I look back o'er the time
I can't say I regret
The step I took so long ago For
I'm your sweetheart yet.
Yes, twenty-five years ago, Eva
You were my happy bride
My face, too, wore a happy smile
As we stood there side by side
The years between have happy been
Tho marred sometimes by pain
For God has taught us plainly
Our loss may be our gain
Six children you have given me
we've nurtured them with care
And loved them each and every one
Those boys and maidens fair.
You've been a faithful wife to me
Tho' much we've been apart,
Within your eyes tonight I read
The love light in your heart
So let me change that ring of gold
To one of silver bright
For I can say with you my dear,
I've no regrets, tonight.
So friends we meet to celebrate
This silver wedding gay
That our good wishes may extend
To our Golden Wedding Day.
Robert A. used horses on the farm until 1935 when they bought a used Fordson from Dick BARRON in Howell, for $250.00. It came with a two bottom John Deere plow. Several of the neighbors already had Fordsons. They kept theirs about three years and then traded it in on a team of mules. They had a team of horses and farmed with two horses and two mules for a couple of three years til 1937 when we traded the mules to R. E. PECKENS for an Oliver 70 tractor, a plow with two 16 inch bottoms and a mower which James W. traded for a two row cultivator the next year. A seven foot mower could cut hay a lot faster then they could haul it! That got them way behind on the cultivating and it was too much trouble to change the machines back and forth on the tractor.
They kept the Oliver 70 till they sold out in 1947. They had tires put on in place of the steel wheels in 1939 for $135.00. They ordered them from Montgomery Ward in Owosso. James W. took it up and brought it back the same day.
PECKENS never took the muels away. He made a deal with Robert A. to leave the mules with them till he could sell them. Arlie BROWN finally bought them after about a month. He kept them a few months through the winter and grained them too much. Tom, the nigh mule, kicked at him one day so he wanted Robert A. to take them back. Arlie and Melvin, his dad, came one day and said somebody had to take mules as Art was afraid of them. James W. took the mules back and gave him our horses and two yearling heifers, as the mules were worth more and we wanted his good will.
PECKENS stayed out of the deal since he had never taken possession of the mules.
It all turned out o.k. Art and his family came to see us in Tucson in about 1965. He was troubled with arthritis and thought he might sell out and come to Arizona to live. James W took him to talk to Leonard WOODS (local dairyman), but the prices seemed too high to him. James W. thinks he would have done all right if he had come on out.
James W. bought a pair of Belgian colts from Ken PECKENS. Robert A. didn't like them. However they broke those colts and they were the best team we ever had! James W. drove them on the wagon the first day they were hooked together, and threshed oats at John LAYTON's. They weighed about a ton apiece-sorrel with manes and tails. Real Pretty!
James W's early education came in three periods. In Oak Grove, two years in Houghtalling School on the farm, then back to Oak Grove, and them to high school in Howell where he graduated on June 12 1930. He could claim to have graduated at 16 but he turned 17 the next day! All his brothers and sisters grduated from Howell High School. Robert in 1928, Myself in 1930, David in 1934, Jean in 1936, Wade in 1941 and Elizabeth in 1946.
Robert A. thanked Vern STELZER for being such a gentleman about the farm mortgage all those years. Vern got tears in his eyes. And a gentleman he was! When Robert A. bought the farm from Uncle Roy, Vern was still holding the mortgage on it. The mortgage amount was $6,500 plus a dollar a day interest, year around. When Robert A. got over loaded and was a little slow to pay, Vern never asked for any money. On one occasion, we sold a bunch of elm trees to a barrel company in Durand. When they began hauling them out, Vern came over to see about it. Robert A. gave him a thousand dollars of the money; he could have taken it all.
Robert A. and Eva had a little trouble selling the farm but finally did so in February of 1948. Charles WARD bought the place for $17,500.
They (and daughter Annie), came, [to Arizona] pulling a big luggage trailer full of their stuff as well as James W. and Robert E's. James W. and Rob were at Farmers Market and saw them go by and chased them down Miracle Mile. They bought a brown metal trailer and moved into Crescent Manor with the rest of the McCOOK's. The three of them lived next door to us for two and a half years.
Robert A. and Eva built 2 houses one in Flint, and one in Tucson. They owned the farm in Livingston county, Michigan for 24 years and then lived together in Tucson for 14 years.
Robert A. worked for his son Rob until 1952 or 1953. He quit than and worked at a small grocery store on Orical Road called Donlet'd market. He quit working for Rob at noon one day and went to work at the grocery store the next morning. They said he wasn't building up any Social Security working for his son. He worked at the store for six years. His mind was beginning to go before he left the store but his physical health was real good.
1955 was the year Robert A. and Eva made their first trip to France to see Dave and his family. They went over on the Queen Mary and back on the Queen Elizabeth.
When he was about 75 his memory began to fade and by the time he was 80 he didn't even know Eva, Once he carried a magazine around with a picture of a baby on the cover. He would talk to it and kiss it just as though it was a real child.
James W. and family took a trip to Bremerton, Washington, in 1961 to see his sister Jean and her husband Bud. Eva and Robert A. and James W. drove to Los Angeles and met Vera, who had taken the train that far. Then they all drove up the coast together. When Robert A. got tired of riding, he would say, "pull up over here and let me out, I want to walk"! Or he might say "I think I'll just go back home"! Sometimes when they stopped for gas he would take off up the street. When they stopped in Redwood City to see his youngest daughter Elezabeth Ann, he got lost and they found him wandering around by himself. He went to the house next door to Annie and Ray's and stepped behind the bushes in their front yard and took a leak against their house thinking he was hidden.
James W. wishes his father would have gone to church with them but his mind was pretty far gone by 1960. He tried to help James W. with the footing on the laundry, but he couldn't seem to get his mind on what James wanted done. He was 78 at the time. He lived two more years. He took long walks down by the railrad, up to Shamrock Dairy and up to Evergreen Cemetery, he always seemed to find his way home.
They had to put him in a nursing home when Eva got shingles and the doctors there over did his medicine and he died a month after we put him there. He was hard to control. He picked the walpaper off his room and the linolieum off the floor, so he did give them trouble. James W. and Vera had him buried in Evergreen Cemetery because he never liked the one on Grant road where Rob and Olive were buried. He was eighty.
The folks built two houses one in Flint, and one in Tucson. They owned the farm in Livingston county, Michigan for twenty-four years and then lived together in Tucson for fourteen years.
Her family left the farm when she was six or seven years old. They moved to Davidson and then on to Flint where her father worked as baggage man for the Grand Trunk Railroad, in both towns.
She went part way through high school and worked as a bookeeper for some fur-buyers. They could neither read nor write, but would tell her each night exactly what they had bought and sold all day.
One time on the farm when James W. was about 11, Rob and James W. were racing and Eva challenged them and beat them! She was about 34 at the time. It was about dark and she hiked up her skirts and fairly flew! They had no idea she could do things like that! She used to whip Rob and James W. regular for various infractions, but quit when Rob was about thirteen. One day he took the stick away from her and she cried. Robert A. never whipped any of them.
One time when they lived in Oak Grove across from the blacksmith shop, Spike REED and James W got to throwing apples from a tree in their yard across the street into the blacksmith shop. He shut the door, so James W. went over and opened it. This time he warned them to, "Cut that out!", and shut the door again. They threw a few more apples at the door and then James W. went over and opened it again. The Blacksmith was waiting inside and chased them all the way Home. Boy! was James W. scared! He was screaming for Ma with every jump and just made the back porch ahead of Old man MARSHALL. Eva heard him coming and came out the door just in time to save him. She backed old MARSHALL off the porch and he never even got a chance to tell his side of the story! I stayed on our side of the street for awhile.
Old MARSHALL had accused Rob and James W. of soaping his windows at Halloween and this all happened soon after. One day a package came to them at the Post Office which was in Sardis CAMPBELL's store. It was a bit to big for Rob and James W. to carry but Old John MARSHALL solved there problem by carrying it for them. Another enemy vanquished by kindness. His!
MARSHALL had a prety Collie dog that carried the mail in it's mouth from the Post Office. MARSHALL also had a cider mill behind the shop and every year the apples were awfully dry but John MARSHALL had cider to sell. They had two daughters. Vera was a school teacher at the Houghtalling School where the Mc COOK children went when they came to the farm the first time. She boarded at VANDERCOOK's just north of the school.
One day James W. was hoeing in the garden back of JUBB's garage when a fist came through the window! John MARSHALL and John STALEY were having an argument in the garage which was next to the blacksmith shop where John STALEY was having his car fixed. James W. never found out whose fist it was but STALEY had a black eye for awhile! The judge ruled no cause for action.
Robert A. and Eva both liked to travel. They went to the World's Fair in Chicago in 1932. They went to Muskogee, Oklahoma to see Wade in 1943 or 1944. They went to Europe twice, once in 1953 and again in 1957, to see Dave. Then she went with Vera and James W. in 1964. She came to Tucson, Arizona, to live in 1948. She took a trip to Michigan in 1958 and was there when her son Rob died. She and Robert A. made a trip through the east and saw several Civil War battlefields before WWII. Then they went to St. Lewis when Wade was killed in 1952.
Eva was a real good cook! James W. always thought their food tasted better than anybody's around the neighborhood when they went thrashing or filling silos. She was a good housekeeper but didn't ask perfection. Good was good enough!
She loved to read and would sit up way late at night with a magazine. One time one of the farmers-an Indian family-ran out of gas near the house and asked if somebody was sick becase there was always a light on late at night. It was Eva reading.
She bore six chileren and lost half of them before she died.
Eva died on January 24, 1981. She was 91 years old. She had a good life. She was a mother in every sense of the word. She raised a good family, and was a loved and respected grandmother and mother-in-law.
James W. think's that if we could ask her how she felt about it all, she'd say that, "It was good to have been here!"
