Thompson

Chapel Hill, Tenn. Feb. 13--

of Charlie Thompson, died at her

home in Lewisburg Monday morn-

ing, after a lingering illness, aged

46 yeas. She was the daughter of

Wm. G. and Jane Bell Cooke. She 

professed religion in early life and

joined the Cumberland Presbyter-

ian church.

Funeral services to-morrow.

which the body was brought to 

Chapel Hill and laid to rest in the 

Swanson Cemetery, after short ser-

Survived by her husband and

two daughters, Ruth Agnes and 

Sue Bell, of Lewisburg; father,

Wm G Cooke of Rockvale; three

brothers, Tom Cooke of Old Hick-

a number of years.

Notes:  She was 45 years old(+ 9 months & 21 days) at the time of her death according to her death certificate of which I have a copy.  Cause of death was tuberculosis of the lungs.

This is the only location which I have seen the Cooke name spelled with the E.  My Grandparents spelled it with an E only after 1930 in records I've found and neither Wm Green or any other of his sons used the COOKE spelling.
