A. L. Cook, Winterset; livery, feed and sale stable; was born in Hadley, Mass, in 1845; emigrated to Illinois, settling in Bureau county in 1845; he enlisted in the 52nd Illinois Inf. in the late war, and, after serving three years, re-enlisted as a veteran, and was mustered out with the regiment; he came to this county in February, 1875, and since his residence here has been giving his attention to improving the stock of horses; he prefers the Norman, and his Agricola is a thoroughbred and registered in Stud Book of Norman Horses. It will well repay anyone to visit his stable and see his horses.
