Marshall Republican,
March 19, 1909
At Rest
Louisa V., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Elam, was born July 15, 1846 in Wabash township, Clark county and passed from this life at her late home in Marshall, Illinois, Sunday morning March 14, 1909, aged 62 years, 7 months and 27 days.
On January 19, 1865 she was married to Harrison Cork and they took up their home on the farm east of Marshall. The whole life of the family has been spent in and near this place. As a result this family became well and favorably known and no word that we can add now can increase the love and respect of their many friends and old neighbors.
Seven children were born to this home, but the Death Angel visited the home and took two away in infancy and the daughter Lena, when grown to young womanhood. July 1, 1901, the husband passed on before and now the surviving members are: James, Edna, Mrs. Belle Hutchinson and Mrs. Zetta Davison; all of Marshall. She is also survived by three brothers, John, of Parsons Kansas and Alfred and Hiram, of the Sills reservation in Oklahoma.
Sister Cork has been a life long member of the Methodist church and her delight was in its service and the study of Godâ?Ts work. Her well marked Bible and her exemplary Christian use well attesting this. For the past few years Sister Cork has been in frail health, but during the past year she grew much worse. All that loving hands and hearts could do was done for her but her family was forced to see her fading day by day, until taken suddenly worse last Friday she passed peacefully from this life to her eternal reward last Sunday morning.
Yet love will dawn and faith will trust
(Since He who knows our need is Just,)
That somehow, somewhere, meet we must
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his Cypress trees!
Who hopeless lays his dead away
[Several lines illegible because of tape over newspaper.]
The funeral was held at the family residence at 1:00 Tuesday afternoon. Rev. E.L. Pletcher, pastor of the First M.E. church preaching the funeral sermon. Burial in the cemetery at Livingston.
