Here lyes ye body of Mr Caleb Cook who decd Febry ye 5th 172 1/2 in the 72d year of his age. Caleb Cook , son of Jacob and Damaris (Hopkins) Cook , born March 29, 1651 , and resided at Rocky Nook, Kingston . He will be remembered as the person connected with the death of King Philip . He was a soldier under the lead of Col. Benjamin Church , and while closely pressing the Indians, Cook , and an Indian named Alderman , of the Seaconet tribe were placed on duty to watch Philip , lest he should get out of a swamp, where he had hidden, and if possible to kill Philip . He soon had a chance, and fired at him, but his gun missed. He then bid Alderman to fire, and he soon became their victim, having been shot through the heart. Mr. Cook exchanged guns with the Indian, and the gun which did the fatal work has been kept in the Cook family till quite recently. The old flint lock was taken off and presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society. Part of the gun is in the Cabinet of Curiosities in Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth .
