Mrs. E.W. Cook Dies At Macon Sanitarium

Not only the town of Reynolds, where she lived, but that of Butler, and in fact
the entire county were enshrouded in gloom on account of the death of Mrs.
Lettie Ricks Cook, the wife of Mr. E.W. Cook of Reynolds, which occurred at the
Williams sanitarium at Macon last Sunday, after an illness of three weeks of
typhoid fever.  She was taken ill at her home at Reynolds of typhoid fever, and
her condition became such that an operation was deemed indispensable.  She was
carried to the Williams sanitarium last Wednesday, an operation was performed
Friday following, death resulting last Sunday.  Her remains were brought to
Reynolds Monday morning and were laid to rest in the Reynolds cemetery Monday
afternoon, the funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. J.H. Allen,
assisted by Rev. H.O. Fowler, pastor of the Reynolds Baptist church.

Mrs. Cook was 40 years old, and in that length of time but few people have
endeared and so sweetly enshrined themselves in the hearts and lives of the
citizenship of Reynolds, as this noble Christian woman.  She was not merely a
member of the Methodist church of Reynolds, but one of its most active workers
in every department of Woman’s Christian endeavor.  In her social life, she was
a recognized leader in those functions, which had for their aim the betterment
and uplift of the young people.  But it was in the sacred precincts of her home
that her Christian graces and womanly virtues were more deeply and sweetly felt.
 It was there that the light of her life shone with brightest splendor.  It was
there that she reflected with radiant beauty, the light of her risen Lord.

She is survived by her husband, Mr. E.W. Cook, her mother, Mrs. Sarah Rick, two
sons, E.B. and L.W. Cook and two brothers, Hons. W.T. and F.A. Ricks, all of
Reynolds.
