OBITUARY IN THE LOCAL SANDY CREEK NEWS, MAY 1929 MRS. FANNY PECK COOK This community and vicinity were saddened by the passing of one of their choice and valued citizens, Mrs Fanny Peck Cook, who died Monday evening May 27, 1929. She was born in the town of Sandy Creek, June 20, 1866, the youngest daughter of Lois & Harrison Peck. Nearly all of her active life was spent on the paternal homestead in West Sandy Creek, where her cheery genial personality and ways illumined the family circle, and won for her numerous and abiding friends. She was united in marriage Nov. 16, 1892 with Joseph A. Cook of Vienna, N.Y., and to them were given four children, all of whom with the husband and father, survive her. They are Mrs. Lester W. Zufelt of North Syracuse, NY., Mrs Hugh Stowell of Lacona; Mrs Paul Woodard of Sandy Creek and Theodore R. Cook who resides on the home farm. Four sisters and one brother, as mentioned in last week's News, also survive her and nine grandchildren. Mrs. Cook was much interested in community life and welfare and was always ready and anxious to help to encourage, to uplift. In young womanhood she was baptized and united with the Center Methodist Episcopal Church and was actively engaged in promoting its interest and progress as long as services were maintained and her health permitted. She was a faithful and efficient worker in the Ladies' Aid Society of the above church. For a time when no services were held in the Center Church the family attended the church at the village. Mrs Cook was a hard working woman, often exceeding the limt of her strength, and literally wearing her life away for others. For a year or more in recent years, Mr and Mrs Cook resided in the village of Sandy Creek, but returning to the farm home later. During her declining health and illness she was blessed with the loving patient care of her daughter, Mrs. Paul Woodard. The funeral services were held at the home of her daughter, Mrs Woodard, Friday, May 31 at 2 p.m., conducted by Rev. Charles L. Peck, one of her former pastors, assisted by Rev. Floyd Fennen, pastor of the Baptist Church. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery.
