Notes for James Grant Hook, Jr:
James Hook attended the schools of Vinton County, Ohio, clerked in a store and helped his father on the home farm. At President Lincoln's first call for volunteers he enlisted 20 Apr. 1861 in the 18th Ohio Vol. Infantry for three month's service. He was honorably discharged 28 Aug. 1861. In the spring of 1862 he accompanied his parents on a visit to his sister and two brothers in Iowa and shortly after his return home enlisted, 9 Sept. 1862, in the 7th Ohio Vol. Cavalry and served continuously until he was mustered out of the service at Raleigh, N. C. on 22 June 1865. His regiment was with Gen. Sherman at the siege of Atlanta and with Generals Schofield and Thomas in the campaign, after Atlanta, that succeeded in destroying Hoods Army. He served part of the time as a dispatch carrier and was one of the volunteers who crept through the Confederate lines to carry a headquarter's dispatch to General Burnside when he was besieged at Knoxville, Tenn. In the fall of 1865 he moved with his parents in a prairie schooner to Highland Township, Wapello Co., Iowa where he married, raised a large family and became a prosperous farmer and fine stock raiser and a prominent and respected citizen. He taught school during the winter for several years after arriving in Iowa. In 1875 he purchased the home of his parents in Highland Twsp. of Wapello Co., Iowa, thereafter purchasing adjacent land until he owned one of the best and most productive farms in the county. He was a leader in the activities of his community and represented the electorate in many county and state conventions of the Republican party of which he was a staunch member. He was successively a trustee, president and treasurer of the North Union School District of Highland Twsp. in Wapello Co. for fifteen years or more. He was for many years a Justice of the Peace and the settler of many local quarrels and was known among his neighbors as Squire Hook. He was several times commander of the J. M. Hedrick Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was a breeder of short horn cattle, English Shire, Morgan and Ensign horses, importing some of the sires from England and Belgium. In 1901 he married his second wife Caroline Andrews, born Ebelsheiser, who d. in July 1905, a bare month after his own death, after long illness and hospitalization. There was no issue by this marriage. Early in 1905 he went to Big Horn Co., Wyoming and purchased land on the Germania Bench near Burlington and entered upon many additional acres which he expected his children to homestead, an expectation not to be carried out. The land was located in the oil section of Wyoming and today is very valuable. Both James and his wife Virginia lie buried side by side in the Hook family plot in the Martinsburg Cemetery in Wapello Co. one and one half miles south of Martinsburg, Iowa.
James was a member of the Iowa Short Horn Breeders' Association for many years and gave freely of his experiences to that body. He never permitted himself to be nominated for any political position, although he was many times urged to be a candidate for state representative and various county offices. He was, however, many times a delegate to Republican, county and state conventions, and in that way used his influence toward selecting the right men for office.
He was for many years a Justice of the Peace and almost from the beginning of his residence in Iowa was the acknowledged community arbiter. In this last service he succeeded in keeping many disputes out of the courts and reconciled many differences that might easily have developed into feuds and grudges.
He was an enthusiastic member of the J. M. Hedrick Post G. A. R. and several times its Commander. He also served as a delegate to national encampments, and acted on important committees, both in local and national bodies.
The children of James and Virginia remember with vividness and pleasure the beautiful home life which surrounded them on that Iowa farm. A more harmonious home could not have existed. On Sunday all work was suspended, useless noisemaking was forbidden, and the day was spent quietly. Church and Sunday School was attended only irregularly. Biblical topics were frequently discussed around the fireside. and these usually did more to acquaint the children with Christian teaching than Church or Sunday School itself.
It was after the hard times of 1893 that Virginia's health began to show signs of breaking under the strain that she was forced to undergo. Those were hard years. Values of everything almost disappeared, crops were bad, and for a time it
looked as if accumulations of a lifetime might be wiped out. When conditions returned to normal, Virginia's health failed to respond. For three years she fought a losing fight, then on March 23, 1897 came the death of her oldest child Mary. This great loss and the worries attending it placed a further drain upon her vitality. The following October she was stricken with a severe cold which developed into pneumonia and caused her death on October 30, 1897.
James struggled hard after the death of his wife to maintain a home for his children. He employed a married couple for the first year to permit his daughter Sarah to finish her college course at Iowa State in 1898. From this time until September 1901, when she was offered a fine position as instructor in public-speaking in Iowa State College, Sarah kept up the home. When the offer came to her she was determined to reject it, but her father, feeling that he could not deprive her of her great opportunity, urged her to accept, which she finally did with great reluctance.
In 1902, after trying vainly to keep the home going with hired help, James married his second wife, a widow, Mrs. Calla Andrews, nee Ebelsheiser, a member of an old and respected pioneer German family of the neighborhood. Within a year of this union she was stricken with a severe nervous malady that affected her mind and finally caused her death in July, 1905. There were no children by this union.
It was on a trip from Wyoming to visit his invalid wife that James himself died. He had just boarded a train at Ottumwa on the evening of June 30, 1905 to go to his old farm south of Hedrick, when he was stricken with apoplexy and died instantly. On the train at the time was his brother-in-law and comrade of a lifetime--Jesse Ankrom--who said that James' last words, addressed to some friend who had asked him how he was feeling, were "I never felt better in my life." The words were hardly uttered when he sank to the floor and immediately expired. He was buried beside his first wife in the Hook family plot in Martinsburg Cemetery.
