Born February 2nd, 1806, he was consequently in the latter half of his 86th year. His birthplace was Fairfield -- Dutch Lane as it has been known. He came of old Dutch stock, his parents being members of the old Dutch Reform Church in Fairfield. . . ."
Obituary, Cook family papers, Bonnie Ladd Hamilton
Gravestone records at Prospect Hill Cemetery, Caldwell copied March 1992
(In 1939) "The white Vandercook house in present Roseland, like so many of its contemporaries, has wide clapboards and faces south, turning its western wall toward Walnut Street. The lower part to the east is the older of the two parts. The antiquity of this Colonial farmhouse can be discerned in the small windows under the eaves, in the many paned sashes and in the huge, brick fireplace rectangle on the outside west wall. The little porches on the south and east side were attached in 1920, and the high dormer jutting out of the south ridge of the lower roof, in 1933.
Inside, rough, darkened beams, with the mark of the woodsman's axe plainly visible, are exposed in some of the older rooms. The ceiling in these rooms is only seven or eight feet high, and the original floor boards are thick and very wide. Most of the doors have the familiar double-cross panels to keep out witches. A few feet from the front door stands a giant maple whose trunk measures 14 feet in circumference."
