     Alice A. Frye, daughter of Almond and Arethusa Frye, was born in Wheatland
Township, Hillsdale 
County, Michigan, December 7, 1863, and passed to her heavenly reward February 12,
1939, aged 75 
years, 2 months and 5 days.  
     She was married to William H. Cook of Adams township, March 29, 1893, and came
to reside on the 
farm where her son Ward and family now live, and with the exception of a few years
spent at Owosso 
and North Adams, this vicinity has remained her home.  Here Mr. Cook preceded her in
death August 
23, 1930.
     She was a teacher in the public schools of Hillsdale county for twenty-five
years and her strong 
principles of truth, her high ideals of Christian living and her splendid leadership
will long be cherished 
by those with whom she associated.  
     Her lifetime was passed in the Methodist Church, first at West Wheatland, and
later she became a 
faithful and devoted member of Osseo M. E. Church, where she was an earnest
participant in both its 
worship and work for nearly forty-six years.  Her presence was an inspiration.  No
organization meant 
more to her than her church and she had served in numerous positions of
responsibility.
     She was a member of the Sunday school, the Ladies' Aid Society, and the Woman's
Foreign 
Missionary Society of Osseo, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of North
Adams.
     Her passing leaves the son Ward and wife, two granddaughters, Beth and Janet
Cook, more distant 
relatives and many friends.
     Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in Osseo at 2 o'clock on
Wednesday, following a 
prayer service at the home of her son.  The Rev. C. J. Kendall, pastor of the
church, officiated, and Miss 
Orpha Johnson and Mrs. Carl Perrin sang "The Home of the Soul" and "The City Four
Square."  Bearers 
were Fred R. Williams, Melvin Robins, Fred Moses, Ed Smith, Lewis Van Marter and
Claude Boardman.  
Burial took place in East Hill cemetery beside her husband William Cook who died
eight years ago.
     Relatives and friends from away to attend the funeral were Mrs. Ethel Frye and
son Lorraine of 
Inkster, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Kalder of Quincy, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Keefer of Grant, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard 
Cook and daughter Laura Gene of Allen, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Cook and son Paul of
Hillsdale and Miss Alice 
Fowler of Toledo.  The church was filled with other friends and associates from this
community and 
from nearby towns.
     Servant of God, well done.
     The cares of life are past,
     The battle's fought,
     The victory won,
     And thou art crowned at last.
