MRS. COCHRAN PASSES AWAY
Widow of A. P. Cochran Died Last Night--An Atchison Pioneer.
Mrs. Mary Taylor Cochran, widow of A. P. Cochran, and who had lived in Atchison fifty years, died at 10:30 o'clock last night, at her home, 511 North Sixth Street, after an illness, which began last spring, when Mrs. Cochran had a stroke of paralysis. During the summer she recovered enough from her stroke to get about the house, and receiving the best of care, she seemed to improve until about three weeks ago when she became bedfast. A trained nurse had charge of her case, but throughout her illness she had the devoted attention of her son, Lou Cochran, from whom she had never been separated since his birth, and between the two there existed the utmost congeniality, and the tenderest affection.
Born in Buffalo, N. Y., seventy eight years ago, Mrs. Cochran was left an orphan in her early childhood, and was taken to Hillsdale, Mich., where she was reared at the home of an uncle. She received a fine education, and was graduated from the state normal at Red Wing, Minn., after which she took up school teaching as a profession. Over fifty years ago she went to Kansas City, and taught school in a little town near there, Lenexa, Kansas. From there she came to Atchison, and for two years taught school on the site of the Mize playground in South Atchison.
Her marriage to Mr. Cochran occurred after she had lived here two years, and she gave up school teaching to devote her life to him, their children, and their home. Mrs. Cochran had a splendid intellect. She was very fond of reading, and her mind was a treasure house of information. During Atchison's early history she and her husband entered into the social life of the town, and were leaders in various literary organizations. Their tastes were the same, and their life together a happy one. Mr. Cochran died three years ago last May.
Three sons survive, Harvey Cochran, of Detroit; Lou M. Cochran, of Atchison, and Frank Cochran, Minneapolis, Minn., and the three children of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cochran are the only grandchildren. Mrs. Cochran is survived by one sister, Miss Josephine Taylor, Grand Rapids, Mich. A brother, William Taylor, died a week ago in Millsdale, Mich.
Mrs. Cochran was a devoted member of the Christian Science church, and was a gentle, lovable woman.
It is probable the funeral will take place Friday afternoon at 2:30 from the Sawin & Douglass chapel, but no definite arrangements can be made until word has been received from the relatives living at at distance.
Funeral services will be held from Sawin & Douglass chapel Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery. Her children will be here for the services.
