Mrs. Savillia COOK died at the home of her mother, Mrs Lydia LEITER, on West Eighth street, this city, Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock, after a lingering illness from tuberculosis. Mrs. Cook, whose husband, [George Robert "Bob" COOK] died six years ago, went to California from her home in Kewanna last fall in hopes of benefiting her health, but returned home five weeks ago very much worse in health. She spent the next three weeks with relatives in and around Kewanna and two weeks ago came to this city, where she lived with her mother.
Mrs. Cook was born and raised in Kewanna, where she was always popular with a wide circle of friends, who now extend their sympathy to the sorrowing relatives. Besides her mother she leaves three sisters, Mrs. Levi YOUNG, this city; Miss Mollie LEITER, California; Miss Jane LEITER, this city, and four brothers, Levi LEITER, Leiters; Eli LEITER, Germany; Edward LEITER, Kewanna; Ulysses LEITER, Rochester. The funeral party will leave the house Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, and the funeral will be held in the Kewanna Methodist church in the afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. HOWARD of Lindon will have charge of the services. In the selection of Rev. Howard, the same minister will have been called upon who pronounced the marriage ceremony of Mr. & Mrs. Cook, delivered Mr. Cook's funeral sermon and now having charge of the service over the body of Mrs. Cook, all in the short time of little more than six years.
Burial of Mrs. Cook will be made in the Kewanna cemetery.
