DIED -- After several weeks illness, at her father's residence, near this city, February 28th., 1876, LILLY MAY COOK, daughter of Mr. J.R. and Mrs. M.A. COOK, in the fifteenth year of her age.  LILLY COOK died in the hope of a glorious immortality.  Though young, she had not that dread of death so common with many persons, but with patience and calm resignation to the will of God.  She manifested the spirit of the words she had so often expressed in son, "And when with Jesus!"  To her "to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord."  Possessing excellent qualities of mind and heart, drew around her a large circle of devoted friends, who have seldom felt a loss so keenly as that which they have suffered in her death.  A large number of her schoolmates and associates attended her funeral on Sabbath in true heart sympathy with the bereaved parents and brother.  [scripture omitted]  -- Mansfield Shield & Banner.  Miss COOK was a niece of Mr. WM. BEATTY of this place (Mansfield). -- Bellville Weekly.
