Carroll Banner-Lake Providence, La. November 8, 1890
    After a long life of 70 years,, the above old gentleman passed away last 
Monday at his residence on Levee Street.  He had been an invaild for at least 
six months previous to his deah, which was a relief to his wearied frame, 
exhausted and reduced as it was to a mere shell.  Mr. Hook was one of the 
oldest citizens of East Carroll He came from Morehouse Parish about the year 
1841, and had been living here ever since, being engaged off and on in the 
mercantile and farming avocations.  In his palmy he was a well-to-do man, and 
stood well among his contemoraries. He always been considered a good citizen 
and wa never guilty of any act of disapprobation.
    But with old age came misfortunes and and almost ever since the close of 
the war, especially for the last fifteen or twenty years, he has been in 
reduced circumstances.  His extractin was unquestionable, for his relatives 
were among the best of Carroll's antebellum citizens.  He leaves behind two 
daughters to mourn his loss.  He remains were interred in the Providence 
Cemtery Tuesday evening, at 4 O'clock, servies being performed at the 
Medthodist Church.
    The sympathies of the Banner are extended to his bereaved family in their 
affiction; but there is a comfort in the thought that his body now is out of 
pain, his soul is out of prison.
