MRS. MARK COOK DIES IN NAPLES AS RESULT OF THE INFLUENZA

The sad news of the death of Amy Remington comes to us just the last thing. She was one of the unfortunate ones who took sick with the influenza at the time the doctors were all sick and there was no help to be had. She was the first in her family to get it, and when the rest came down she was somewhat better, She forgot herself in her desire to help the others and thus took a backset. They were able to get help from then on and she seemed to be improving.

After several days of illness, however her heart began to show signs of failing. The day before she took noticeably worse, she had a good appetite and still seemed to be improving. The last days it was recognized that she was seriously sick and everything was done that could be to offer relief and aid, but in spite of it all, she passed away Wednesday evening about 5 o'clock.

She leaves behind her husband Mark Cook and two children, besides a mother, sister and a brother of her immediate family but she was so loving and kind in her nature that a distinct loss is felt by the whole Naples community.

The deceased was born and raised in Naples and had performed an active part in the community life of that district. She was known and loved by all. She was actively engaged in the various church organizations, particularly centering her efforts in the Sunday School and Primary auxiliaries. Her influence will remain in the memory of all for her earnestness.

She was born twenty-nine years ago on the old Remington homestead in Naples. She graduated from the district school in Naples and later attended the Uintah Academy. Upon completing her course ther she took up a college course at the Brigham Young University in Provo. Upon her return she devoted her whole soul to teaching in the different schools of our county. In every place she taught, parents and children alike came to have the tenderest feeling of regard and esteem for her.

It seems as if early in life the deceased had made up her mind to a life of usefulness and devotion to her people, as if she was ablaze with the desire to live her religion and see just how good she could be. She was cheerful, loving and an example of the Christian virtues. She rediated these characteristics in her mother's home and in her own home. She was a devoted, faithful, loving wife and mother. It may be truly said that she made a success of her life.
