Death of Mr. H. Cooling.
Eulogy by Judge Rutledge.
The death is announced of. Mr. Henry A. B. Cooling, a well known clerk of the Supreme Court, in his 41st year. Mr. Cooling, who resided with his wife and family of young children at Oxley, has been suffering some little time, and succumbed late last night to pneumonia. The late Mr. H. Cooling's father died some time ago, but his mother, who is over 80 years of age, still is living. His sisters living are Mrs. W. J. Overell and Mrs. T. White, and his brothers, Messrs. A. J., E., and J. Cooling. Mr. Cooling, who was very popular with the legal profession, also was well known in Methodist Church circles, and his death will he regretted by a wide circle of acquaintances. He has served in the public service for a long period, the date of the first appointment being 3rd July, 1882. When his honour Sir A. Rutledge took his seat in the District Court, this morning, he said : " It is with profound regret that I have heard this morning of the comparatively sudden death of an officer of the Supreme Court, Mr. Henry Cooling, a brother of the respected bailiff of this court, Mr. Henry Cooling was an officer who had won for himself a very high reputation in the service of the State. He was a man of blameless character and of unimpeachable integrity. He has fallen a victim to the terrible epidemic which now is raging unfortunately in this city, and all who knew him will admit that, by his untimely disease, the public service of has State, has suffered a very great loss. I am sure all will deeply deplore the removal at such an early period of his life of one who had entered upon a very promising career. I am sure we all extend to his bereaved family the sympathy to which they are entitled under the sad circumstances."
