CROOK, William H. Obituary

Captain William H. Crook, well-known Republican, a prominent Civil War veteran and a former city official, died at 5:05 o'clock this morning at his home 1403 North Third Street, after an illness of five weeks. Captain Crook had been a policeman for the past thirteen years at the State Capital. While on duty there five weeks ago Captain Crook became ill and had to be taken to his home. He had been gradually sinking since that time. His illness really dated from last summer, when he attended the encampment at Gettysburg. The heat weakened his formerly rigorous constitution. The captain was known to every Republican in the city. For years he had marched at the head of the West End Republican Club in all political parades. He was a member of the Harrisburg Republican Club as well.

Captain Crook was born at Clark's Ferry, February 29, 1844 being one of those people whose birthday anniversaries come but once in four years. He came of old English stock, his grandfather having come from England to Cumberland County before the Revolution. In 1861 he enlisted in Company C, Seventy-seventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and fought throughout the war, re-enlisting in Company K, Two Hundred and Third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers. He participated in some of the stiffest engagements of the war and was twice wounded. He was discharged in August, 1865.

After the war Mr. Crook became a contractor in the city and in this business helped to build the Phoenixville and West Chester railroad, the Schuylkill Valley and the Baltimore and Ohio through Delaware. He then engaged in the sand business. In 1889 he was elected supervisor for the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth wards and served for nine years consecutively except for one year.

As a member of the Grand Army of the Republican Captain Crook was active and prominent. He was a member of Post 58 and was appointed to the staff of General Adams, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic in 1894. This gave him the rank of post commander. He was a delegate to the State convention of the Grand Army of the Republic several times and went as a representative of this State to the national convention in 1895. The captain was one of the oldest members of Mount Vernon Hook and Ladder Company and belonged to the Firemen's Beneficial Association.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Whippo Crook, to whom he was married in 1890; two brothers, Samuel A. Crook of Rockaway, N. J., and J. Wesley Crook, of this city, and two sisters, Mrs. Harry Shellenberger and Mrs. Clara Frantz, both of Milton. The funeral arrangements have not been fully completed, but it is probable the services will be held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. B. H. Hart, pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist Episcopal Church, will officiate. Burial will be made in the Harrisburg Cemetery. [The Harrisburg Telegraph, (Harrisburg, PA), January 17, 1914]
