From page 1 of the Skidmore Standard, Friday, August 2, 1901:
Mary (Cyphers) Cook was born in Warren county, New Jersey, Oct. 25, 1832, and died at her home in Skidmore, Mo., at 11:00 p.m., Friday, July 19, 1901, aged 68 years, 9 months and 6 days.
In her early childhood she emigrated with her parents to Ohio, where she was reared to womanhood and was married on the 24th day of February 1852 to Fayette Cook.
Of this union six children, four sons and two daughters, were born, five of whom, three sons and two daughters, survive her.
Her husband preceded her to the home beyond, just 10 months, having died Sept. 19th 1900.
She, with her husband, came to Missouri in 1869, settling on the old home place, 4 1/2 miles southeast of Skidmore, where they resided until 1898 when they came to Skidmore, Mo., which place she made her home until her death.
She was converted in 1861 and united with the Baptist church at Graham, Mo., in 1884, and has lived a constant Christian ever since.
Her last illness was a long and severe one, having been a constant sufferer for nearly eighteen months, but during the whole time she bore her afflictions patiently and lovingly, frequently expressing herself to the members of the family that she was ready to go when the Master calls.
Her funeral was conducted at her late residence by her pastor, Rev. Miller of the Baptist church, and she was laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery at Skidmore.
The funeral services were attended by all the members of the family and a large concourse of sympathizing relatives and friends who sadly mourn her departure. Her demise was the taking away of one of the truly grand, good women of this community, for none knew her but to love her and her friends were legion.
