About Uncle Jesse Crook and Wife
The following taken from the
Omaha World Herald of Sunday
will be of interest to our readers ,
nest of whom are well acquainted
with Uncle Jesse and his estimable
wife :
"Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Crook ,
who recently celebrated their
12nd wedding" anniversary , are
) oth natives of the south. The
brmer was born in White county ,
Tennessee , September 12 , 1826 ,
ind the latter , Elista Whitaker ,
n Orange county , North Caroli
na , May 1 , 1830.
They were married near Sparta ,
n Jackson county. Tennessee'on
February 28 , 18-16. They left
Tennessee in 1853 and came west
nto northern Missouri , where
hey located temporarily near
iMlmore , in Andrew county.
Their advent into this state
would have occurred the .year
bllowing but for the fact that
the United Stites government
was not yet prepared to allot the
amis. They , however , were
ater allowed to come and did so
on April 17 , 1855. They crossed
the river near St. Stephens , in
this county , a village long since
obsolete , and went west to make
: heir home on a place north of
this city. The first soil broken
n Richardson county for cultiva
tion was done by Mr. Crook.
They have been continuous
residents of the county and for
years have made their home in
this city , with the early history
of which they had much to do.
They were the parents of three
children two of whom are living
and residents of this city
William II. Crook , leading hard
ware merchant , and Mrs. Sarah
Crook Wilhite , wife of ex-Judge
Wilhite. They have seven grand
children and four
great-grand-
childr < jn living. Their claim to
being ' "pioneers" is prehaps bet-
tzr founded than any living resi
dents of this part of the state as
they enjoy the proud and unique
distinction of .having been the
third white family to first enter
this county. Both enjoy very
good liea tli and reside in a
beautiful little home which they
care for themselves. They opened
the first hotel in Falls City ami
the "hospitality'1 of "Uucle Jesse
Crook,1' known far and wide , was
extended to many a penniless
stranger who journeyed this
wnv . "
