Inscription
Richard M. Cook (1822-1904) was a loyal Unionist from Wyoming County, but he was seated as a delegate at the state constitutional convention in 1862 upon petition from Mercer County. Cook was a captain of the Wyoming Home Guards, frequently skirmishing with local Confederate partisans. In an 1863 clash near present-day Matheny, William Wills, Cook's son-in-law, was killed.
