H. Cook Dies At His Pomona Home Thursday Interment Will Take Place at Oak Hill Cemetery in This City Saturday Afternoon. Mr. William Henry Cook, for many years a prominent fruit grower and farmer of Africa district, died at his home one mile east of Pomona about 7 o'clock Thursday morning after an illness of one week. Mr. Cook was sixty-eight years of age and came to Pomona from the North about twenty-seven years ago, where he conducted a general store and held the agency of the Central of Georgia Railway for several years. By trade Mr. Cook was a Mechanic of unusual skill and was at one time the proprietor of a large foundry in his native state. He possessed an extensive store of general information and was an excellent citizen whose death is the occasion, of much sincere regret. About a week ago a serious summer illness developed which baffled medical skill and the end came at the beautiful home where he had lived for the last twenty years. The deceased is survived by his widow and two sons, B. F. Cook, of Pomona, and Edwin Cook, who holds a responsible traveling position, covering several Southern, Western and Northern states. The interment will be made at Oak Hill cemetery in Griffin Saturday afternoon, a delay necessary to allow one son and other relatives to arrive from a distance.
