"Mrs. Miles Cook died at her home in Skidmore Monday afternoon, May 14, 1923, after a stroke of paralysis Saturday morning. Mrs. Cook was taken to the hospital in St. Joseph about six weeks ago and underwent an operation. She got some better and was able to come home about three weeks ago, and was visiting at the home of Mrs. Lansing Reese when the stroke hit her. When she underwent the operation, it was found that she had many cancers and it was said then that she might live several years and again she might not live six weeks. It was just six weeks from the time she was operated on until her death.
