Capt. Pehr and Helena (Sauvrow) Ekstrom
By Helen Chapman
Anna taught in a school provided for the education of the children of
the English ranchers who had settled on the banks of the Mouse River.
Later she taught In Towner's first brick school house. This building
was used until the red brick school was built in 1905. The original
building was then used for apartments and was known as the Rosencrans
Flats. Anna had some students who later made Towner proud. They were
Alan Soule and the Strand boys, Olaf and Anton. In 1900 Anna married
Irvin Cook who had come West from his parental home in Wabasha,
Minnesota to work in construction along the new rail road. At that
time it had reached Minot. He homesteaded and acquired other land
which is the present Cook Ranch northwest of Towner. The Cooks had
five children, Helen, Hattie, Lytie, Leroy and Pehr Irvin (Pat).
