Notice of Estate of Jos. S. Cook--The Weekly Review(June 1839)

In Wm C Cook's role as administrator of the estate of Jos. S. Cook(relationship unknown), he placed a notice in the Weekly Review--a Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee Newspaper.  I'd looked for a publication that carried a notice for Joseph's estate but had not found one until this morning when I ran a search using the FamilySearch full-text search.  I am so thankful they are now adding newspapers from their digital collection.

Funeral costs in Trust Deed records(Rutherford Co. TN, 1922)

Nora Preston Cook, wife of Wm. Clarence Cook died of pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 28. Not only was Clarence facing raising their 3 sons who were under 6 years of age on his own, but he also had to come up with money for his wife's burial. So he, his father, and his father-in-law did what they had to do to come up with the money to bury Nora. To secure the burial which was handled by Woodfin & Moore, Clarence, his father, and his father-in-law put up property to secure the services and guarantee that the burial costs would be paid. We find out the details in Rutherford Co TN Trust Deed Book TT page 420, which gives the listing.
