[St. Louis Daily Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, MO, 28-Aug-1894, Pg. 5]
One of Norfolk's oldest and most prominent families has recently suffered a great loss in the death of a beloved member, Mr. Charles Kline Cooke, formerly of Norfolk, but for many years past of St. Louis, departed this life at Nimrod Hall, Bath county, Va., last Sunday morning. Mr. Cooke was the son of Mordicai Cooke, Esq., a talented lawyer, who died in Norfolk in 1855, and his mother was before her marriage Miss Sarah Kline. He had for some time been in failing health and went to the mountains in the hopes of recuperating his strength. The education of Mr. Cooke was begun at the favorite school of the "Point Boys," kept by Miss Serena Holden, and when finished education he was employed in the transportation business until he went to St. Louis.
In the later city he married Miss Celeste Von Pool, a highly esteemed lady, who, with seven children, survives him. His immediate family in this city consists of his mother, Mrs. Sarah K. Cooke, his sisters, Mrs. George McP. Batte and Mrs. Jas. C. Byrnes wife of Dr. Byrnes, U. S. N., and his brothers, Mr. Henry Cooke, of St. Louis, and Mr. Willoughby T. Cooke. The old friends of "Charlie" Cooke remember him with affection as a true hearted, manly and intelligent boy and man, and sympathise deeply with his family in their affliction.
The remains upon their arrival in the city at 12 o'clock, were immediately conveyed to Elmwood Cemetery and interred, with the Rev. Robert Gatewood as officiating clergyman. The pallbearers were Messrs. R. A. Dobie, Henry Walke, John Vermillion, George McIntosh, R. Devereux Doyle, L. W. Tazewell, Dr. Geo. H. Rose and Paymaster Wm. W. Galt, U. S. N.
