ROBERT P.2 COOK, b. 1847, Georgia; d. November 08, 1887, Macon, Georgia, USA. Notes for ROBERT P. COOK: The Macon Daily Telegraph: Tuesday, November 8, 1887 The Drowned Man Proves to be Robert P. Cook, Formerly the Sheriff of Jones County The unfortunate man whose body was found in the river Sunday afternoon by Messrs. R. H. Cherry and Robert Myers, was proven yesterday to be that of Robert P. Cook, at one time sheriff of Jones County. Coroner Hodnett held an inquest at 8 o'clock in the morning, the only witnesses being Messrs. Cherry and Myers, who testified to the finding of the body as reported in yesterday's TELEGRAPH. Following are the names of the jurors: James Keating, George L. Smith, Will Wasner, H. T. Stokes, Louis Vannucki, J. J. Myers, R. H. Chery, William Jones, M. Kelly, Frank Rizzi, L. J. Bates, W. H. Jones. At the inquest Officer Brooks, recognized the body as that of Mr. Cook, and the identification was made complete by finding in the pockets of the dead man letters and papers bearing his name. When Officer Brooks saw the body, he remembered that Mr. Will Bass, a Telegraph compositor, had found on Thursday morning of fair week, a light-colored hat at the boom, a piece of timber projecting out into the river below the Central railroad bridge. The had was recognized as that of Mr. Cook by those who saw him in the city on Wednesday. In the pockets of his clothing were found a handbook of information containing a greenback dollar bill, some loose change, a pocketknife; pocket comb, keys, etc, and a ticket over the Covington and Macon railroad from Hillsboro to Macon and return, issued October 26 and good to return until October 29. It was known that Mr. Cook came to Macon on the 26th. He was seen by Capt. F. S. Johnson on that day, and Coroner Hodnett and others remember seeing him Wednesday afternoon near Davis's stable talking to Mr. E. C. Grace. Later in the afternoon he was seen near Cassidy's bar on Fifth street and then all track of him was lost. Among those who knew him well is Mr. A. J. Ownes, the Central railroad bridge keeper, who informed the TELEGRAPH that he hoes not believe that he was on the bridge on Wednesday evening, because he always visited him when coming to town. The body was turned over to Undertaker Keating and interred in the cemetery. A half brother of Mr. Cook came in from Jones county yesterday but could not throw any light on the matter as it had been several weeks since he saw him. Coroner Hodnett's theory is that Mr. Cook was murdered and thrown in the river. He bases his theory on the fact tha he remembers the dead man to have had on a watch and chain and no such property was found on him and the further fact that the body was found straightened out. He says that of the many drowned persons he has seen, he never saw one straightened out, all being doubled up. There was some slight disfigurement of the face which might have been caused by striking a snag or rock in the water. Another theory is that Mr. Cook probably started to visit his friend Owens on the bridge, but the night being dark and rainy, he missed his footing and fell into the river. It is evident that he was drowned on Wednesday night, as he was not seen after that evening and his hat was found Thursday morning. Mr. Cook was about 38 yeard old. For some time he had be been farming near Hillsboro, in Jackson county. He came to Macon often, and those who knew him best say that sometimes he would come to spend only one day and would remain a week. It was probably for this reason that people around Hillsboro made no inquiries as to his remaining away so long More About ROBERT P. COOK: Fact 1: Never married. Fact 2: Might have been murdered.
