     Mrs. Charity Converse Cook died January 19, 1892.  She was born in Wayne Co.,
State of New York, 
July 13, 1841.  Came with her parents to Hillsdale Co., Michigan, in 1846.  She was
the youngest living 
of a family of twelve children - two brothers and two sisters survive her.  She was
converted to the 
Christian religion at the early age of 14 years.  She then united with the Methodist
denomination, and 
held her membership with that church at the time of her death.  She was married to
Charles Cook, 
March 13, 1862.  Two children was the result of this marriage.  She had always lived
on the farm wherre 
her parents settled.  Had been an invalid and cripple about fifteen years.  During
these years of 
suffering, she was patient and cheerful and ministered to the wants of her family to
a wonderful extent, 
and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to aid a neighbor, and never failed to
express her gratitude 
for the slightest of favors.  On account of her decrepency she could not attend
religious services on the 
Sabbath day as she desired, but helped to support the Sabbath School, and was almost
always present 
in her class to help as a teacher.  Even the children always spoke of Aunt Charity
(as she was familiarly 
called) with pity and love.  
     She leaves a faithful husband and two sons, who deeply mourn her loss.  Her
neighbors also mourn 
her loss, on account of her many virtues and moral excellence, and truly symphasize
with the afflicted 
family, who will so much miss her motherly care.  We would not murmer, because our
Heavenly Father 
has called her to her reward, but will ever cherish in our memory, feeling assured
that the PURE IN 
HEART will be reunited in that world of Light, Love and Joy.
