MRS. PETER (ELIZABETH DELONG) COOK
DECEMBER 20, 1901
Our people were greatly shocked on Saturday morning last when word was received from Fairbury stating that Mrs. Elizabeth Cook had passed away at her late home in that city on Friday (Dec. 13) night. The shock to her many friends here was no greater than to those at Fairbury, as her death occurred very suddenly. She had been in apparently as good health as usual until shortly before retiring for the night, when, in placing a piece of carpet at a door as additional protection from the severe cold, she was stricken with appoplexy and fell to the floor. Within an hour life had departed.
Elizabeth DeLong was born in Perry county, Ohio, April 20, 1842, where she grew to womanhood on the DeLong home farm. She was married to Peter L. Cook at the parental home in January, 1864, and, with her husband, came to Henry county, Illinois, immediately after their marriage. Later they resided on a farm in Peoria county, and from there came to Mona township, Ford county, in 1869. Here from the virgin soil they made a well improved farm. In March, 1880, the family came to Chatsworth, where the family home had been until September 1900, when Mrs. Cook went to Fairbury, where she had since resided with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Moran, Mr. Cook having died in June, 1891. Mrs. Cook was the mother of three children--Daniel A., of Chicago; Clara B., wife of John Moran, of Fairbury and Thomas Miles, of Chicago--the two sons being in the employ of the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul railway in Chicago.
Funeral services were held at St. John's church, Fairbury, on Monday morning, conducted by Father Francis. The remains were brought to this city by train and were laid to their final rest in St. Patrick's cemetery, beside those of her husband.
Mrs. Cook was most highly esteemed by those who knew her best. She was a woman of strong character, with strong maternal instincts and a most estimable lady. In addition to her three children, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Matthew Cook, who resides east of Kempton, and hosts of friends to mourn her sudden demise.
