Dau. of Captain Jeremiah Halsey Cook & Mary Rogers
Mrs. Van Derlip, nee Cook, died Saturday, November 29, 1902, shortly before noon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. C. Cresson, 815 Grayson St.; she had been slowly sinking for the past two weeks; her death came as the result of old age. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon from the Cresson residence. Services were conducted by Rev. Mercer Johnston of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. The pallbearers were: Judge John R. Shook, George Maverick, Edward R. Norton, Judge John James, Dr. Frank Paschal, and Judge Robert B. Green.
The Van Derlip home was one of the best known in the State and beneath its hospitable roof many well known Texans found shelter, among them being the late Rev. De Vilbis. She came to Texas a very beautiful woman and attracted a great deal of attention ... Her life was very quiet and retiring, living for her family, and particularly disliking notoriety. Many historians came to her in search of historical facts, but she steadfastly refused to grant interviews to any one connected with a publication.
This venerable and aged lady was the last of San Antonio's earlier American pioneers. In Texas she witnessed many stirring scenes. A great many old stories and much Texas history died with her. She was survived by her sister at their old home in Sag Harbor, L.I., who only shortly before had celebrated her 90th birthday.
