Notes 
Text:
Burial at Delilah Cemetery, Oceana, Wyoming County, West Virginia; This cemetery is located on the right side of the "Delilah Chapel", on Weaver Street, in Oceana. There is a road side marker for John Cooke beside the sidewalk on Main Street. His grave is located about 50 yards directly behind it. The marker on William Cooke's grave site reads: "William Cooke, Sr., 1784 -1853, Founder of the Town Of Oceana in 1850, Married Catherine Stewart, Daughter of Captain Ralph Stewart, Both charter members of the Guyandotte Baptist Church 1812."
William was successful in farming and business. He built and operated a Gristmill at the "Narrows of Laurel." He was active in promoting separation of Logan County to form Wyoming County, and even more so in promoting establishment of the County Seat on his land near Clearfork River. For this purpose he donated an acre of his best land for the Public Square.8
