OBITUARY..


MRS. JAMES L. COOK.
Maria Wentworth, widow of James
l.. Cook, formerly of Ellsworth, died
Saturday morning at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Eva M. Kimball, in
Norway. Mrs. Cook had enjoyed
good health for her years, and was
about the house as usual the day
before her death, though complaining
of a slight indisposition. When
Mrs. Kimball went to her mothers
room Saturday morning, she found
she had passed peacefully away in
her sleep.
Mrs. Cook was born in Burnham
August 8, 1910, daughter of the
late Stacey and Rebecca (Getchell)
Wentworth. She was a young girl
when her father moved to Ellsworth
from Brewer. Here she was married
to Mr.. Cook, and here practically all
her long and useful life was spent.
She was a member of the Ellis
worth Baptist church, and a regular
attendant and worker in the
society. Three years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Cook went to Norway to make
their home with their daughter. Mr.
Cook died there on January 10, 1922.
Besides this daughter, Mrs. Cook
leaves four sons-Frank w. of Eliza
beth, N. j., James A. of Saco, Arthur
E. of Roslindale, Mass, and Louis B.
of New Bedford, Mass.
The funeral was held at the Kim
ball home in Norway Monday after
noon, and the body was brought to
Ellsworth yesterday for interment
in the family lot at Woodbine GENE
terry. The four sons accompanied the
body here.
