DAVID COOK
[People’s Press, 21 August 1900]
David Cook, who died a prisoner in Welland jail last Wednesday, was a well-known resident of this town. (Niagara Falls Town). He was a stone cutter by trade, and at one time was prosperous and respected. Of late years he had fallen entirely into the power of strong drink, and had been unable to follow his trade. He had been employed as hostler by different persons, and a few weeks ago the police magistrate sent him to the county jail to save him from an attack of delirium tremens. He was about sixty-five years old, and had no relations here.
