Cookman, C., Mrs. Rev. (Died)

Obituary.
As we went to press last week came the sad tidings of the death of Mrs. (Rev.) C. Cookman, which took place at her home in Waterdown on Tuesday. The esteemed lady was a daughter of Asa Hall, Esq., and sister of Mrs. James Brown, of this place, and was so well known by every one that any remarks by us respecting her would seem out of place. Suffice it to say that she was a general favorite with all throughout her whole life. Her cheerful and pleasant manner, her kindly disposition will linger long in the memory of those who knew her well. Though never strong in body she was, while a resident of Acton, ever ready to lend a helping hand in all church and charitable work, and at the time of her marriage, some seventeen years ago, her departure from our midst was severely felt. She died as she had lived all her life, a thorough Christian, and the writer is one of those who remembers her best - and indeed such memories dwell longest with us - for the many kind words and actions bestowed on him when a child.
Mrs. Cookman leaves an affectionate husband and four children, three girls and a boy, to mourn her early summons home. The remains were brought here - the place of her birth - for interment. Her husband and relatives have the sincere sympathy of the whole community in their sad bereavement.
