Mrs. Samuel COCKLEY Dead.

Mrs. Catherine COCKLEY, who has been ill for several months, passed away yesterday morning at the home of her son-in-law, William LEWIS, on West Washington street. She was known to almost everyone in the town and was loved and respected by all. She was one of the few women who attract persons as friends and never as enemies. She was a good wife and mother, and it was a pleasure to enter her home. She will be missed not only by her own family and neighbors but by a very large circle of friends in this city.

Catherine COCKLY (sic) was sixty-nine years and twenty days old, having been born in Richland county, Ohio, in 1831. She grew to womanhood in that county and was married in 1855 to Samuel COCKLEY. Three children were born to them, one of whom is now living, Mrs. Stella LEWIS of this city, Eugene Allison and Ella Francis, both of whom died in 1860. In 1855 she and her husband removed to this state and located at Farmington, where they resided for ten years when they removed to this city and she has spent the remainder of her life here. About forty years ago she united with the Congregational church and has been an active worker and a loyal member of that church ever since. She has three sisters, Mrs. Asenath BROWN, who lives in Ohio, Mrs. John Q. KNOW, of Albion, Indiana, and Mrs. Joseph TINGLE, of Columbus Grove, Ohio. The last two of these were with her during the last two weeks of her illness.

The funeral will be held Thursday morning at her late home, No. 502, West Washington steet (sic).

Death of Mrs. COCKLEY.

Catherine (sic. Catharine on her headstone) COOK, wife of Samuel COCKLEY, died in this city Monday morning at 8:30. She was born in Richland county, O., and was married in November, 1853. Three children were born to her, two of whom died in infancy. Her husband and a daughter, Mrs. W. W. LEWIS (sic. Stella; wife of William W LEWIS) of this city, survive her. The family came to Iowa in 1855 and resided for ten years in Van Buren county. Its members have made their home in Fairfield since 1865. Mrs. COCKLEY was a woman of many excellences, devoted to her family, affectionate and tender with her friends and possessed in large degree those neighborly qualities which made her loved and respected in the community in which more than a third of a century of her life was spent. She had been in ill health for nearly a year past and had been confined to her room for several months. She had just passed the sixty-ninth year of her age. Her remains will be interred in this city tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. A. F. Marsh will have charge of the services and they will be held at the family home, 502 West Washington street.
