In more recent times the Cook house was occupied until his death in 1885 by Captain Cook's son-in- law, General Henry Kemble Oliver, the famous composer and musician. Here he married Sally Cook and wrote several of his well-known church hymns, including "Federal Street", so dear to the hearts of all Salem residents. His was a life of varied and useful service, since he was at different times one of the early mayors of Lawrence, treasurer [ 107] The Wood-Carver of Salem of her great cotton mills..., Adjutant General and State Treasurer of Massachusetts, and Mayor of Salem in his eightieth year. A study of the Cook-Oliver house ensemble indi- cates clearly that Mclntire rightly regarded the fence as a purely architectural feature which should accord with the house. His pickets, rails, and bases were always of extreme simplicity, with some inter- esting departure from continued verticality in the gate, as seen here, and considerable elaboration of the gateposts, often, as in this instance, four in number in front of the house, with simpler posts for any con- tinuation of the fence and a simpler gateway for the side entrance.
