John C. Cook

John Calhoun Cook (December 26, 1846 – June 7, 1920) was a nineteenth century politician, lawyer and judge from Iowa.

Born in Seneca, Ohio, Cook attended common schools as a child, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1867, commencing practice in Newton, Iowa. He was judge of the sixth judicial district of Iowa in 1878 and successfully contested the election of Marsena E. Cutts to the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1883, serving only one day. Cook was elected back to the House of Representatives to fill a vacancy in 1883, serving again until 1885. Afterwards, he resumed practicing law in Newton, Iowa and later moved to Webster City, Iowa where he became attorney for a railroad company. He died in Algona, Iowa on June 7, 1920 and was interned in Riverview Cemetery in Algona.
