William Henry Cook.

The subject of this sketch was not
unknown to the readers of the REGIS
TER. Both for his own unusual worth
and life, and because of our more init
mate acquaintance with his son, Rev.
Joseph Cook, some extended obituary
mention can but meet the general wish
William Henry Cook was horn in
TicOnderoga, n. Y, Sept. ,, 1872, and
died on the 18th ult., at the age of u
years and six months. He had very
nearly perfect health from the end of
his youth to his sixty-eighth year. As
boy he had uncertain health, but was
q man Of iron constitution and granite
endurance. His final illness was of but
ten days duration, but he had been
seriously intirm for five years, although
endeavoring with lar more zeal than
was good for him to keep up his habits
of regular industry.
His ancestry were of New England
Puritan stock. His father, Warner
Cook, and his grandfather, Samuel
Cook, were both born in New Med,
ford, Connecticut. There are many
families of the name in Wallingford
Ct, and a history of the Cooks of New
England has been published. The an
cestry runs back to Plymouth Rock

FACTS ABOUT THE BREEDING OF JUSTIN
MORGAN, VERMONT BLACK HAWK AND
ETHAN ALLEN.
We propose to republish from the
american CultiUdtOr a series of arti-
cles on the above topics. The ninth
instalment is given below. The sub
ject under discussion is Ethan Allen:
"When in Vermont made my head
quarters at David and Edgar Hills and
was thus much in company with o. ..
Rowe and Joel llolcomb, and also at
hotels with Adams, who then owned
Flying Morgan. Almost every day |
saw the Myrcks, who then owned
Sherman Black Hawk. | met also | H.
Gle Zebulon Frost who had lust brought
up the two good mares purchased of
Townsend Cox, Oyster Bay, l.. L.; also
the Fletchers and Gus. Austin of Or
well, who then owned Ham bletonian
Rattler; MIR. Rice, who raised Acorn
and TlcOuderoga, the first sold to Gill
more of Baltimore, the latter to Dorsey
of Kentucky, of Gollust nOtoriety.
When there, was constantly piled by
the friends of old Black Hawk, FLYING
| Morgan ana llambletoniam Rather
with diverse stories for aud against
these horses. A bitter rivalry was then
existing between them, with an occa-
sional side stroke from the Henry party
! that did not care much which of the
three they hit, as they had a fine,
snowy stallion for sale that was four
years old and got by the Henry horse
out of Black Hawk mare.
"Well, | heard the FLYING Morgan
! Ethan Allen story affirmed, iterated
and reiterated by Adams and his
friends, aud as often denounced as a
lie by old Uncle Davy Hill, the lie hav-
ing a prefix not used in Sunday
sch )ols. Whenever llolcomb was pres
ent, as he often was with both parties,
| )ud see a mischevous smile on his
face, and if questioned he generally
gave some wordy, noisy, non-commit-
tai reply. Rowe was also often ques-
toned as to his knowledge or opinions,
and replied in his bland, quiet way, not
much to the enlightenment of the inter-
rogatOr. So it was | heard this story
over and over, affirmed with such APP
parent candor and denied with such
bitter feelings and emphasis that | was
in doubt it, Coming home from one
of my Vermont trips got on board the
boat at Bridport landing, and almost
the first man / saw was Holcomb on
his way to New York; so we came to
Troy, stopping together at Whitehall
over night, and made up my mind |
would then and there know what Hol-
comb knew, 80 after he had talked

present but ourselves, | asked him to
tell me truthtuly all about the Flying
Morgan story, and he, apparently in
the same spirit that asked the ques-
ton, promptly replied: Ladd, now |
will tell you the truth; that is all lie
Old Uncle Dave charged me big bill
on the old mare and made me mad, so
| got up that story to spite him. The
old mare was in foal when she came
home. Flying Morgan was in my sta
BILE few days, either that week or the
next, but he never smelled her.
"From that moment | have never
had doubt upon the subject; more
over since then | have seen number
of Ethan Aliens descendants, colts and
grandcolts, that were as much like the
old Black Hawks colts as two egge, and
| never saw one that looked like an
old. fashioned Morgan. There is a
great deal of this to get at little. |
state my position and doings at that
time to show you that Holcumb would
not be likely, under the circumstances
to deceive the OF make statements to
me carelessly as he might have done to
one whose friendship he cared little or
nothing for"
BY comparing this straightforward
statement of Hoicomb's with his equiv
ocal letter to Mr.. X. NJ. Adams, it will
be seen that every vestige of foundation
of the Flying Morgan claim is des-
troyed.
1t will be remembered that the year
Ethan Allen was bred the services of
Black Hawk were $50 by the season,
but the following year, when Mr.. Hol-
comb bred Ethan's dam to Black Hawk
the fee had been raised to 500; and
this was undoubtedly what he had in
mind when he stated to Mr.. Ladd that
"Uncle David charged a big bill on
the old mare and made him mad" The
fact that the mare died before foaling
also probably served to aggravate the
case. This statement OF IiolcOmb's to
Mr.. Laid will outweigh, in every I'M
prejudiced, intelligent mind, all the
theories and heresay evidence of men
who knew no more about the blood
lines of the horse than the chemical
properties of the soil upon which they
stood, vet could demonstrate by the aid
of their csnes that the Black Hawks
were not Morgans, and that Ethan All.
len was not a Black Hawk.
