Obituary

Died in this city about one o'clock on Sunday morning the 3rd instant in the 
15th year of his age, Master Henry L. Cooke, eldest son of Col. Henry Cooke. 
In the premature death of this truly amiable youth, society has to lament the 
loss of a member who bid fair for extensive usefulness - the Raleigh Academy 
one of its brightest ornaments, and his parents a son apparently destined to 
be the consolation of their declining years. It cannot fail to be a source of 
much satisfaction to his intimate friends to know, that during his illness and 
at the approach of the destined moment, he gave the most unequivical evidence 
of "his peace being made with his God." He died with all the fortitude and 
resignation which unfeigned piety as well calculated to inspire. To his 
afflicted parents we can only with pious Job exclaim, "The Lord gave and the 
Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord." May that God who hath 
given the stroke provide the balm! The tear of affection, gentle shade! shall 
oft be shed to thy memory. May thy soul rest in the bosom of thy God!
