Mrs. Kate COOK died at her home on Tazewell Ave Monday afternoon,
about 3pm. She had been in poor health for sometime, but confined to her
bed only for a week or so. Mrs. COOK was sister to Mrs. Henry
PECK, of Gratton, and related closely to a number of relatives in
Burke's Garden, where the burial took place on Tuesday. She was a
lifelong and consistent member of the Baptist church. A few years ago
she, with her husband, sold their property in Burke's Garden and moved
to Tazewell. In all her relations of life she was a faithful woman and
popular with all who knew her. She leaves no children. She adopted and
reared to young womanhood the wife of George W. BOURNE, of this
town, to whom she was greatly devoted.
Mr. Alexander ASBURY, Cedar Bluff, was here on yesterday, and
called to inquire about his father, W.K. ASBURY'S subscription.
By the way, our old friend, W.K. ASBURY, never rode on the
railroad train, and says he never intends. When he comes to town he
takes his boot in his hand and walks. His subscription was paid on
yesterday by his paymaster, Chapman H. PEERY.
