Her Sufferings Are Over.

DIED-At her residence, two-and- half
miles north of Great Bend, on Feb
ruary ID, 1901, MRS. LOUISA Cook,
wife of John Cook, aged As years,
weeks and one day.
MIR. aud Mrs. Cook were among the
very first settlers in Barton county,
coming here in 1871, and later locat-
ing on the farm north of town which
by industry and careful management
they have made one of the most pros
porous In the county.
Mrs. Cook has been a great sufferer
from cancer which terminated In her
death, but through all her sufferings
she evinced that patience and resigna-
ton coming from reliance upon the
wisdom and love of her God and her
trust in her Savior as The Redeemer
and the life" She was a COMMUNICATE
in the Lutheran church, and faithful
and consistent christian all her life.
She leaves a husband and twelve
children-eleven sons and one daugh-
ter-to mourn her loss.
The funeral services and sermon
were held at 200 p. m. Sunday the
18th, at her home. being conducted by
Rev. Thos H. Ayars. A very large
concourse of people followed the re-
mains to their final resting place in
Great Bend cemetery, thus proving
the high esteem in which she was held
and the loss of Mrs. Cook felt by the
community of which she has SO lcng
been a resident.
The DEMOCRAT joins its many read
ers in extending to Mr.. Cook and his
motherless children the most earnest
sympathy and coincidence.
