Andrew C. Cook, aged 39, prominent and well-known teacher, died suddenly at about 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening at his home on the west edge of Geneva. Death was caused by a heart attack, according to the local physician who attended him.

Mr. Cook had been ailing since January with nephritis. He complained of rheumatism several months ago, and complications developed. However, he taught school until last Friday and his condition was not believed to be immediately serious. Wednesday afternoon he came to a local doctor's office and then went home after 4 o'clock. He was sitting on a couch when he was suddenly seized with the attack and he died almost immediately. His small son was visiting at the home of a neighbor and by the time the lad arrived at home his father was dead.

He graduated from the Berne high school and later attended Ball State Teachers College at Muncie where he received his A.B. degree. He taught school the last 16 years. He taught in Blue Creek twp. before going to Wabash twp. For the past 10 years he taught in the Geneva schools. The first eight of these years he taught the eighth grade and Industrial Arts in high school, and the last two years he was a full-time high school teacher.
Mr. Cook was regarded in Geneva as an outstanding citizen, and was active in many affairs. He was a member of the K. of P. Lodge and the Methodist church. Mr. Cook was also a World War veteran, being in the service four months.
