He was born at Greenock, Scotland, in 1859, and arrived at the Bluff in 1874. Having, in his capacity as a carpenter, been connected with the building of several sawmills, Mr Cook drifted into sawmill work, and was for some time manager of the Pine Company's Wright's Bush mill. He took charge of the Pahia mill in 1904. Mr Cook is chairman of the Makarewa Domain Board, and was for some years on the Makarewa school committee.
