The first Lutheran Reformed Church in New Knoxville was erected in 1838. It was a log building, and was for several years the only place of worship in the township. Ten years later a commodious frame building was erected which did ser- vice until 1893, when the present handsome brick edifice was erected at a cost of twenty-eight thousand dollars. The auditorium will seat seven hundred and fifty people, and the gallery two hundred and eight. A year after the construction of the new building the members of the church contributed two thousand five hundred dollars for the installation of a grand pipe organ.
When he abandoned carpentering, he entered the mercantile business with his father-in-law, Henry Venneman, at New Knoxville. After Mr. Venneman's death in 1882, Mr. Cook took entire control of the business, and has been carrying it on since that time. He has a general store, in which may be found dry goods of every description, besides groceries, boots and shoes, and every thing that is usually sold in such a store. In 1901, he and his son, Benjamin, erected a large brick building in which they are conducting a lucrative business at the present time. Besides this valuable property, he has a quarter section of land in Washington township and eighty acres in Van Buren township in Shelby county. He was appointed to the postmastership of the village soon after Abraham Lincoln was elected to the Presidency, and has held the office ever since, excepting when Cleveland was in the Presidential chair, and discharged the duties incumbent upon him in a manner entirely satisfactory to all concerned. He is a staunch Republican in politics. He has held responsible public offices, and was treasurer of Washington township eight years.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
