ROSE TERRY COOKE.

This gifted poetess and writer died at PittsfAld. Mass. on Monday morn ing. Her death was unexpected up to Monday morning. She seems never to have entirely recovered from an attack of congestion of the lungs of year ago nor Of the influenza of last Winter.
 She was born at West Hartford in 1897 and was daughter of Henry Wadsworth Terry. president of the Hartford bank. She was related to Lon0fellow through the Wadsworths. Her first verses were printed in the New York Tribune and. as has been said. beautifully showed the tenderness of the tie between her and her mother. Her writings in poetry and prose are much admired.
 In 1873 she married R. H. Cooke. of Wiusted. who survives her.
 The burial took place yesterday in Collinsville which is the place portrayed in her beautiful little poem, 1.-The Two Villages
