Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Cook.

  Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, widow of Christian Cook, who preceded her to the 
spirit land some twenty years, died at the residence of her daughter, 
Mrs. John A. Fogle, 435 Third avenue, at 5:15 o'clock yesterday 
morning.  She was ill about ten days, having been attacked by la 
grippe, which culminated in catarrhal pneumonia.  Mrs. Cook was a 
native of Engelsdorf, Germany, where she was born April 14, 1811, so 
that she had just completed her 80th year.  She came to this country 
about 1844 with her husband and settled in Philadelphia, removing 
thence to Bellefonte and afterwards to Hollidaysburg, where many years 
of her life were spent.  About eleven years ago she came to this city, 
making her home with her daughter, Mrs. John A. Fogle, where she 
remained until her death.  Mrs. Cook is survived by five children.  
These are: John W. Cook, of Hollidaysburg; Mrs. Annie Meher, of 
Philadelphia; Mrs. Gertrude Metzger, of Hollidaysburg; Harry L. Cook, 
of Parkersburg, W.Va., and Mrs. John A. Fogle, of Altoona.  She was a 
kind mother, a good neighbor, a faithful member of the Catholic church.  
The funeral will take place to-morrow morning, leaving the residence at 
7.15 sharp, and proceeding to Hollidaysburg by train where requiem mass 
will be celebrated in St. Michael's German Catholic church, after which 
interment will be made in St. Mary's cemetery.
