Joel A. Cook

Obituary 

The month of May with all her Springtime glories had but a few days entered,
when on Thursday, May 10, as the sun’s first rays crept over the eastern
horizon, the spirit of our good friend and neighbor, Joel A. Cook, passed into
eternity. He was born in the same vicinity where he spent his entire life,
having lived on the same farm for fifty-eight years.

Joel A. Cook was born November 20, 1859, and departed this life May 3, 1928. Age
68 years, 5 months and 13 days.

He was married to Kate Burney on January 7, 1890. To this union was born two
sons, Clarence and Henry. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and one
grandson, Elmer. One brother, John Cook, and a half brother, Will Hosea, besides
a large circle of other relatives and friends. Mr. Cook had not enjoyed the best
of health for almost a year. His afflictions were far beyond the common lot of
humanity. But he bore them bravely for Christ’s sake, and the comfort of those
about him. showing all the while his sufferings were light as compared with the
exceeding weight of glory in reserve for him.

As a father he was faithful and true, as a husband a devoted companion, and by
his kind, unselfish spirit he won to himself a large circle of friends. As a
neighbor we feel justified in saying his loss will be keenly felt, as his genial
disposition ever ready to aid in the alleviation of distress, not from a sense
of duty but from goodness of heart. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel in
the loss we have sustained, yet we bow in humble submission to the Devine Will,
as we are reluctantly compelled to acknowledge the sad truth. He desired to
regain his health that he might go forth in active life and assist with his farm
work in which he took great interest.

Therefore, beautiful in living and in dying, the remembrance of him will be
helpful and if we listen and heed the power of God, our way will be paved into
the long, narrow path which shineth more and more into a Perfect Day.

Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev. D. Earl McKinney. Burial
in Woodhill Cemetery
