To impart strength into the nervous

Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Giles Crook departed this
life Thursday, the 18th of September,
and was buried on Sunday the 10Th.
Mrs. Crook was a faithful member of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints, and was beloved by all who
knew her. She leaves husband and
seven children to mourn her loss,
together with a host of loving friend.
Five onths ago she was stricken with
paralysis and suffered continually until
relieved by death. Our honored patr:-
arch, Thomas Hickens, preached the
| funeral sermon. Among other remarks
he said: Our dearly beloved sister who
has now passed away, was known
| throughout the land as a minister to
the sick. Wherever the distressed, the
afflicted, the suffering were to be
| found, there Sister Cook was,
ever nursing and ministering unto
their needs; through days and nights
and even weeks she has labored. This
was her religion. this is how she served
her Heavenly Master Hers was in
deed a pract cal religion" Several
others made feeling and appropriate
remarks, and then Bishop Kiegg read
brief sketch OF Mrs. Crooks life. Mary
Giles Crook was born April 18th, 1888,
in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, Eng
land, and was the sixth child of WI
liam and Sarah Huskingson Giles. She
was baptised into the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints about the
fall of 1850; emigrated to America in
the year 1854. and arrived IN Salt Lake
City in 1856, after residing in Iowa a
year and some months. In Provo City,
September 9th, 1856, she was married to
John Crook, ard three years later
moved to Provo Valley (now Hebsr City,.
Mrs. Crook has repeatedly been elected
to and creditably filled Offices of trust
in both the Female Relief Society and
Y. l.. NJ. L A. 1t was while acting in
this capacity, that so many learned to
call her blessed! Every one remem bers
the terrible raid of diphtheria which
passed over our country some few years
ago; during that time Mrs. Mary Crook
fairly proved herself an angel of mel cy.
For weeks she devoted her entire labor
tC the Punishment of this dread diseas7.
Mrs. Crook was the mother of nine
children, six sons and three daughters;
