[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 31 March 1921]

Word has been received here of the death in Amherstburg Tuesday morning of Mrs. (Capt.) Henry Cook, whose end came quite suddenly though she had been ill for a matter of three or four years. She and her daughter, Blanche, had been home only a week, after spending three months with her mother, Mrs. Upper of Allanburg, and it was thought that she was improving when laryngitis set is and her heart weakened by an extended illness, gave out. The funeral is to take place in Amherstburg on Friday afternoon. Mrs. Cook was formerly Miss Charlotte Blanche Upper, daughter of Mrs. Upper of Allanburg. She was married to Capt. Cook, well known tug master of Thorold, 39 years ago last November, and they lived for some years at Port Colborne before going to Amherstburg, seventeen years ago. She is survived by her husband, two sons, Henry and Thomas, and one daughter, Blanche, all of Amherstburg; also her aged mother, who is in her 92nd year; four brothers and one sister, Albert and Reuben, of Allanburg; George, of Merritton; John, of Franconia and Mrs. Crysler, of Allanburg.
