Description
This is wall art that was captured in Cook Station :Villages of Crawford County, Missouri - COOK STATION
Cook Station had its beginning with the building of the railroad along
the Meramec Valley toward Salem in 1872-73. Several years before this
Christopher C. Cook and wife had moved from Dent County and settled at the
present site of the village.
Now Captain Cook began to make up for all his losses. A town developed at the site was
called Cook Station.
Lewis Taff had the first store and when the postal authorities approved
a petition for a post office he became the postmaster.
Goodspeed' s record listed him as the postmaster in 1888, but it is not
known how long he served in that capacity. In later years others perhaps served.
Mrs. Ozella Gorman, still serving as postmistress, has been in that position for
over thirty years. Mrs. Gorman, widow of the late Jeff Gorman, now owns most of
the property in Cook Station, including the present store, the bank building, a second
store building, and several other houses, all of which have been converted into cabin
homes for sportsmen and city dwellers.
