Death of Mrs. Jane d. Cook.

A good woman passed from her
earthly home TO her heavenly home
when the spirit Of Mrs. Jane D. Cook
took its flight Oct, 81, 1914.
She was born June 81, 1886, in
Alabama. Her maiden name was Miss
Jaen d, Roose. OF a family Of thir-
teen children she was the last one. 1t
was the happy lot Of Mrs. Cook. She
was twice married. Her first husband.
was William Hamberlin. To this union
was born one child. Her second hus-
band was Green Berry Cook.
Those left to mourn her death are
one daughter, two grand daughters,
two grand-sons, besides a hist Of
relatives and friends. We will all miss
Aunt Jane, as she was more often
called. | can truly say | think Mrs.
Cook a good Christian woman. In her
girlhood she gave her life to God and
united with the Methodist church.
where she remained faithful mem
Der until thirty-seven years ago when
she decided to unite with the Baptist
church, where she remained until her
death. Always trying to help those
when she could, serving God to the
best Of her ability.
can truly say | think God said
unto her, "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant, come up higher"
: | have often been with Aunt Jane
, during her hours Of illness. As true
, Christian woman her influence will
: live on forever. Mrs, Cook was n char
S ter member Of Providence church. She
. was one Of those rare, good old Con-
federate women. Sad to say those good
: old ladies will all soon be transplanted
e TO that home on high.
To know her was to love her. All
!. was done for her that willing hands
t and loving hearts could do, but God ia
e his infinite wisdom saw fit to call her
; home. Her presence will be missed in
= the home, II is sad to say. Thy will be
done, not ours. We should not grieve
u after her, she had lived her time. As
II ! write methink hear her bidding US
i not look to the grave for comfort but
It to our dear Heavenly Father.
l. Mrs. Cook has often asked me why
J. It was she had to suffer so much. She
1t knew she was trusting God. II she
n could not live Gods will, she could
g suffer 1t. She bore her suffering with
l. great deal Of patience.
-e Her last message to those Of her
N loved ones who are left, not to mourn
le for her, but prepare to meet her IL
r that home on high, where no partings
t. ever come. What a great consolation
IS It is to have such message left foi
In us.
E. The remains were laid to rest In
n the burying ground at Concord church.
n The funeral services were conducted
Of by Rev. NJ. c. Wick. Her pail bearers
ne were, Messrs. John Cessna, Hinman
il Hester, Malcolm Lannon's, Will Hen
ie son, Dave Jones, Jr., and Bill Taylor.
he Just little while we see thee not
n but ere long we hope TO meet thee
again in that celestial home where wa
