  William Crook is a native of England, born in Devonshire, August, 1845, living there and in Cornwall until 1857, when he left his native land, with his parents for America. After landing in New York City, they came to Vernon County, settling on section 26, town 12, range 4. William was married, in 1869, to Catherine Hall, born in Ohio. They have had three children--Frank, Minnie and Rosa A. In 1879 he moved to Franklin town, buying a farm on section 21. After remaining there two years, he returned to his former home on section 26, Kickapoo town, on which he has erected a good set of buildings, now having one of the best farms in the town, containing 200 acres of land. Mr. Crook's parents, John and Charlotte (Searls) Crook, were both natives of Devonshire, England. His mother died in 1870; his father now lives in Franklin town.
