"MRS COOK DIED EARLY ON SUNDAY - Woman Well Known in This Community - Mrs Annettie Wetherbee Cook died Sunday morning at 5:30 o'clock at the home of her daughter, of the Tide Water Pipe company's station between this city and Pleasantville. She died of the infirmities of age and had been gradually failing for some little time. She was born near Centerville, where her earlier life was passed. She was married to James Cook in 1862. They had lived in the neighborhood of Enterprise for several years before going to the home of their daughter and the deceased was well known in this community. She is survived by her husband and these children: Mrs Guy Lake, West Hickory; Mrs Mel Shreves, Spartansburg; Leon Cook of Pleasantville; Harry Cook, Corry; Mrs Fred Allison, Tide Water station. Prayer services will be held at the home of Mr and Mrs Allison Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock. There will be funeral services in the Baptist church at Centerville at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Burial will be made in the family plot at Centerville."
(Titusville Herald, Oct 16, 1911, p.2)

"MRS JAMES COOK IS RESTING IN HER TOMB - A ONCE PROMINENT FAMILY EXTINCT - Centerville, Oct 18 - The funeral of Mrs James Cook was held at the Baptist church Tuesday at 1 o'clock, pm, and was conducted by Rev Mr Wallace, pastor of the Baptist church at Corry, assisted by Rev Dr C C Haskell of Centerville. The text from which the sermon was delivered was, 'Hear ye the word of the Lord,' and the discourse, while distinctly different from most funeral discourses, as was also the theme, was interesting and profitable. Mr Wallace possesses the distinction and faculty of reading intelligently, so that it was a pleasure to hear the gentleman read, as well as speak. The attendance was not large for the reason that the weather was about as bad as it is possible to make it. The singing, which was very good, was furnished by a mixed quartet, composed of Mrs J B Clark, Mrs F J Goodwill, Eugene Cook and W R Gilson, with Miss Frances Dowler presiding at the organ, who sang the following selections: 'Sometime We'll Understand,' 'Nearer, Still Nearer,' and 'Jesus, Lover of My Soul.' The pall bearers were Dr C C Haskell, A G Sexton, D M Dalrymple and T J Patten. The casket was covered with a fine display of beautiful flowers. In addition to what has already been published in the Herald concerning the deceased and her family, it may be stated that she was a daughter of Franklin and Melissa Wetherbee, and a sister of David B Wetherbee, who with his wife and daughter perished in the fire that destroyed their dwelling house some years ago. With the passing of Mrs Cook the family of Franklin Wetherbee becomes extinct. Mrs Cook was known as a kind-hearted, Christian woman; a good neighbor, and no doubt will be greatly missed in the community where she fell asleep, and sincerely mourned for her by her aged husband, sons and daughters."
