Mrs. W. H. Cook, for seventeen years a resident of near Stanberry, until last year, died on Decoration Day in Quincy Illinois, according to word received here last Wednesday by Mrs. T. J. Shisler.
The following obituary was received by Mrs. Shisler:
Jessie Fremont Stanton, daughter of Irvin and Elizabeth (Elliott) Stanton, was born at Cincinnati, Iowa, May 29, 1859, and departed this life at Quincy, Illinois, May 30, 1929, at the age of seventy years. One son, Robert O. Lowrey, preceded her in death.
Mrs. Cook had spent most of her life in and near College Springs, Iowa. The past seventeen years, Mr. and Mrs. Cook had lived at Stanberry, Missouri. Two months ago, due to failing health, they bought a membership in the Old People's Home in Quincy, and were living there at the time of her death.
As the oldest daughter of a pioneer in a large family, she very early began her career of devoted and cheerful service to others, with which her life was filled. She has been a faithful member of the church since early childhood: first the Congregational, and of late, the Methodist Episcopal, but the story of her love for her Master is best read in the lives of the multitude of neighbors, acquaintances, friends, and relatives whose lives were made happy by her.
She radiated courage and hope and cheer, and made her kindness effective by the keenness of her perceptions, the excellence of her judgment, and by her never failing common sense. And because her character was staunch and strong, hers was a good port to put into for any weak or storm-tossed soul.
Those to whom her death brings an irreparable loss, will look forward with a firmer faith and joy to the final reunion on the other shore, when the sand of their lives shall have run.
If the House of God in Heaven be filled with cheerful, gentle souls like hers, it will be good to enter there, to dwell there.
The funeral was held at Quincy the first of last week.
