Cook had Jbeen in bad health for several months, and though his physician and friends had been doubtful of his recovery, the end was not expected so soon, or so sudden. For almost 66 years he had lived the life of an honest, hard work ing, and upright citizen. Those who knew him best, and with whom he had had business deal ings for years, said there was not a blot on his character, that he was honest and upright in all his dealings with them. He was a kind husband, a de voted father, and a true friend. ihe esteem in which he was held was attested by the large crowd who attended the funeral, and the many beautiful flowers given. The funeral services were con ducted by Dr. D. B. Zollicoffer, of Weldon, and the writer. The deceased leaves a wife, several children and grand chil dron, (and other relatives) to mourn this loss.
