Hermon Henry Cook

Hermon (Herman) Henry Cook (April 26 1837-April 12 1914) was an Ontario lumber merchant and political figure. He represented Simcoe North in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1872 to 1878 and Simcoe East from 1882 to 1891. He also represented Simcoe East in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal member from 1879 to 1882.

He was born in Williamsburgh Township in Dundas County Upper Canada in 1826. He established himself as a lumber merchant in Simcoe County and set up a sawmill near the current site of the town of Midland, Ontario. With the completion of the Midland Railway of Canada, his timber business prospered. In 1861, he married Lydia White.

His brother James William represented Dundas in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada and his brother Simon represented Dundas in the Canadian House of Commons. His uncle John Cook had earlier represented Dundas in the legislative assembly for Upper Canada.
