Mrs. Cook was born in Oconto in 1861, and this city has been her home until seven years ago, when she went to Nahma to reside. She was the first to be called of a family of six sisters and five brothers, but the bright christian life she led while among them is a great comfort to them in their sorrow. She always lent a helping hand and had words of cheer for those in trouble, was a faithful wife and loving mother. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city, having joined that denomination during Re. C. R. Burdick's pastorate several years ago.

Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian Church on Thursday afternoon, Revs. Robert S. Ingraham and C. R. Burdick conducting them. The Lady Maccabees of Nahma (of which society deceased was a member) also held services at that place before their departure to Oconto. The pallbearers were her brothers, James, Robert, William, Benjamin and George Jackson. The grave was lined with evergreens and flowers and the loved one, who was held in high esteem by all her acquaintances, was laid to rest. The bereaved husband, mother and other relatives have the deepest sympathy of the community, in this great affliction.

The following relatives from out of town attended the funeral: Mrs. Margaret Robert, William and George Jackson of Little River; Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Thomas of Peshtigo; Mrs. Mary McIver and daughters, Jenny and Tot, of Stiles; Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Russell and Miss Gertrude Russell of  Couillardville.
