ROSA LEE GREENE

St. Clair County Library files
Rosa Lee Cook, daughter of Fayette and Mollie Cook, was born in St. Clair county April 2, 1889, and
departed this life at five a.m., August 29, 1928, aged 39 years, 4 months and 27 days.

November 1, 1908, she was united in marriage with Carl Greene. To this union five children were born, all of
whom survive her and are in the home. The following are the surviving children: Sylvia, Hadley, Walter and
the twin baby boys born August 26th.

Besides the sorrowing husband, she is also survived by five brothers: Thomas, Elza, George and Homer Cook, all of Nebraska and Art Cook of Collins; also two sisters, Mrs. John Clifford of Collins and Mrs. Claude Culbertson of Goodland. Kansas, and a devoted mother, Mrs. Mollie Cook; father having preceded her about thirteen years ago.

With the exception of about two and one half years residence in Montana, she had spent all her life in
St. Clair County.

At an early age, she professed faith in Christ and her home and private life has ever been a living testimony
of that faith.

She was also affiliated with the Rebekah Lodge of Collins and was ever a loyal and devoted member.

Her presence in the home and her influence in the community will be greatly missed and while the tender,
loving ties of home, family and friends have been severed, the bond in Heaven has been strengthened.

Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist Church Thursday by Rev. Birdsong

(Paragraph about sermon - too dark to read.)

The funeral was under the direction of J. F. Firestone, undertaker.

The rebekah Lodge took charge of the ceremonies at the cemetery and in a short service paid their last loving
tribute of affection to the memory of this dear departed Sister.

The remains were laid to rest in the Holsapple Cemetery.
