Floyd Hook, 62, Dies in Seattle
Music Dealer Left City 10 Years Ago
Floyd B. Hook, 62, former Madison music dealer, died Dec. 29 in Seattle, Wash., after a brief illness with pneumonia.
Mr. Hook left Madison for the west coast about 10 years ago. Born in Oregon Apr. 7, 1880, he was in the music business at Baraboo several years before coming to Madison in September, 1912, to establish Hook Brothers Piano Co., which for many years occupied the corner store at State and W. Mifflin sts.
A civic leader and outdoor sports enthusiast, Mr. Hook in 1927 donated a piano and phonograph as grand prizes for the Dane county girl and boy doing the best agricultural club work. He was inspired to make the gift by talks of state and county club leaders before the Madison Rotary club, of which he was an early member. In the same year he was elected vice president of the Wisconsin Association of Music Merchants.
In Seattle he lived at the Lowell apartments, 8th and Spring sts.
Survivors are his widow and two brothers, Harley, formerly of Madison, and Carroll, Janesville.
