Another citizen of our community has gone to join the innumerable hosts who have preceeded him. After quite a long sick spell at the home of his daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Johnson , of this city, his death occuring last Thursday night. His funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Brown, and was attended by the old friends and neighbors who had known the deceased for a good many years, and his body was laid to rest beside that of loved ones in the cemetery on the hillside. Mr. Cockayne was an industrious, quiet citizen, who had surrounded himself with a large number of friends and was highly spoken of by his neighbors. When a man has resided for any length of time in a community, his neighbors know him, and so it is that they all speak in highest praise of him as a good neighbor and a loyal friend. The home where he lived quite a number of years was a short distance east and north of Winfield. After the death of his wife some four years ago, he gave up farming and made his home with his children. For several months he has been at the home of his daughter in this city. The seasons will come and go as before, but he will no more be present at the sowing or the reaping. His work is ended, but his memory will linger in the minds of his children and the friends with whom he in health associated.
