Mrs. Cook, relict of the late
Thomas Cook, died at rbe hfjme
of her son, Mr. A. B. Cook, in the
Rutherwood section ,on Monday
nigut last, and the remains were
interred atMt Vernon chutfh,
upar the old home at 10 o'clock
yeHterday. The good, old lady
had reached the ripe age of 92
years, and through all this time
was. loved and houored by all
who knew her, and her motherly
advice and counsel will be missed
in the home and in the commu
nity in which she resided.
Mr. Frank Ragan, who some
25 or more vears aco. left Wa-
V 7 -
tauga for parts unknowo, his
relatives in the county thinking
him long dead, "turned up" on
Meat Camp, his former home on
last Saturday, in the finest of
health, hailing from Colorado,
where he has been prospering all
these yearn. He left on his return
to the west early in the week, ta
king with him his youngest son,
who has been living at Shulls
Mills.
-Capt. E. F. Lovill, after a
business trip of some weeks to
the State of Utah, returned last
Friday, in the best of health and
reports one of the most enjoyable
trips ever. While out he visittd
relatives in Colorado, and when
he turned bis face to the South,
Camp Sevier, at Greenville, S. C,
was bis objective point, where he
spent a short while with Watau
ga's khaki-clad boys, bringing to
his mind vividly his struggles in
the war between the states. He
was dinnered by the Camp offi
cials, who gave him every cour
tesy possible. From Camp Sevier
he came by way of Greensboro,
to visit his daughter, Jlrs. Jas.
Brawley.
At 3, p. m.. last Sunday, the
spirit of that beloved man and
paRtor, the Rev. J. J. L. Sher
wood, quietly, peacefully, passed
the great divide, at the home of
his son, Mr. W. F. Sherwood, on
Cove Creek, his wife having pre
ceded him to the spirit world a
little less than three weeks. Mr.
Sherwod has long been a resi
dent of Watauga, and has ever
been considered one of the very
ablest Baptist ministers in the
mountain counties. He was iu
deed a servant of the Master,
aud, doubtless, his crown will be
bedecked w ltn many stars, as a
resultof his labors here. Truly a
great man has been called to his
reward, and the people mourn
his departure. The remains were
laid to rest beside the new-made
gravo ?f his beloved companion,
on Tuesday forenoon, Pastor M.
A Adums conducting the funer
al services.
