"A telegram was received Thursday afternoon of last week bringing the sad tidings of the death of Mrs. Mildred Cookingham, at Endicott, at 11 o'clock that morning. She had been ill for a few days of influenza, and this was followed by pleurisy, which was the immediate cause of her demise. Mrs. Cookingham was born twenty years ago in the town of Milford, her parents being Mr. and Mrs. Jay L. Colburn, now residents of Cooperstown. She was married in Cooperstown about a year ago to Edwin Cookingham, and for about a year after her marriage the family resided at Schuylerville. Six months ago they moved to Endicott, where Mr. Cookingham was stricken with influenza and died about ten days ago. Mrs. Cookingham accompanied the body of her husband to Schuylerville and on her return was herself stricken. Her mother, Mrs. Colburn, and the latter's son, Percy Colburn, are both ill of the same disease at the family residence in Endicott. The deceased was a popular and much respected young lady, who had many friends in her native town of Milford and in Cooperstown, where for about two years prior to her marriage she resided. The body was brought to Hartwick Seminary Thursday where interment was made, the Rev. LeRoy Halbert, pastor of the Cooperstown Baptist church, officiating."
