Joseph COOK
Mr. Joseph Cook died Monday evening about 3 o'clock at his home three miles from the city. Mr. Cook was a well known and highly respected citizen. The burden of 87 years had been telling plainly for some time that his labors would soon cease and the crown of righteousness would soon be his reward. He was for long years a constant and faithful member of the Lutheran church but in his declining age saw fit to change his church connections and became a member of the German Reformed church at Mount Gilead which was nearer his home. For many years Mr. Cook kept the county home which was then where he lived and died. Useful and sympathetic to large-heartedness, Mr. Cook had many testimonials to his power of relieving those afflicted with erysipelas by that mysterious means called "using" that, but for inexplicable results, would readily be termed delusions. Mr. Cook leaves a widow, by second marriage, who with three sons, three daughter and a number of more distant prosperity mourn his loss and cherish the memories of his virtues.
