Mrs Elizabeth Cook. Born 29-12-1845. Died 11-12-1925.
When Elizabeth Cook died she was described as the last of one of the oldest pioneering families in the district. The daughter of one of the pioneers who "blazed the track" and settled at Caddigat when Cooma was still a village and Adaminaby didn't exist. Long before gold was discovered at Kiandra giving an impetus to the population of the district, the late James Shanley was at Caddigat, where Elizabeth was born. She married John Cook of Sydney, son of Dr. Alex Currie Cook, her husband died some twelve years before her. They lived at Inglewood after their marriage, also Caddigat, and had a general store in Adaminaby for some time. Having every qualification as a nurse, her services were in great demand throughout the district and it's recorded of her that no matter the hour or the weather her services were at the disposal of all, rich and poor alike. To get from her comfortable bed and go miles through the snow and slush of winters night, to the help of some poor sufferers, she regarded as a labour of love. During her own life she enjoyed excellent health, of her marriage there were nine daughters and one son. They included, Mrs. T. Russell, Mrs. R. Blake, Miss Jane Cook, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Swinfield, Mrs. H. Brown, Mrs. Snape, Mrs. Alex Brown, Mrs. Murrin, and Harold Cook.
