Note 1
COOK, W. Taylor – W.T. Cook, better known as Uncle Taylor Cook, died at his home near Bentonville Monday, May 7th at 3 p.m. at the age of 70 years, 3 months.
He was a well known man, having spent nearly 50 years of his life near the place where he was living. Was a member of a large family, one sister, Mrs. Mary Sears, and one brother, Bart Cook, being the only living children of the Cook family.
He leaves to mourn for him a wife and three sons, Bob, Earl and John, and two grandsons. He was converted at the early age of 22 years and was a faithful member of the Baptist church until his death and he always lived so that by his daily life one could see that he lived divinely.
During our acquaintance with him we never heard him utter one word of reproach to anyone; always ready to lend a helping hand and to offer a word of consolation and an ever ready smile and a warm handclasp. A large number of relatives and friends attended the funeral services, conducted by Rev. Voyles, at 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon at the home.
The body was interred in the Hart cemetery near his father and mother, brothers and sisters, to await the judgment call. A Friend.[Rogers Democrat - Rogers, Benton County, Arkansas - May 17, 1917]
