Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 30 August 1895
Orien D. Cook died of typhoid fever Tuesday at 11:30 p.m. at the home of his father, J. H. Cook. The funeral occurred from the family residence Thursday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the services being conducted by Dr. H. A. Tucker.
The death of Orrie Cook was not in the nature of a surprise. For several years he has been in rather feeble health and when finally taken with typhoid fever the end seemed inevitable.
He was born April 15, 1872, at Rossville, but came here with his parents when an infant and lived the greater portion of his life here. He was quite an energetic young man and engaged in a number of employments. He was greatly interested in military work and was one of the prominent members of old Company I, being the first man to respond at the armory last year when the company was called into active service during the strikes. He had many friends who will deplore his untimely death. - s
