"News was received here Friday morning of the death of Mr. John Ellis Cohen, a former resident of this city, which occurred same day at his residence in Houston, after a brief illness, aged about 59 years.

Stomach trouble of a complicated character, we understand, was the cause of his death.

The remains were brought here Sunday afternoon for interment in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, Rev. Roy G. Rader, Methodist pastor, officiating.

Mr. Cohen is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary E. Cohen of Houston, two daughters, Mrs. O. C. Gerhardt of Houston and Mrs. E. T. Lowrey of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and one son, Mr. Tom C. Cohen, station agent at Ellinger.

Mr. Cohen, with his family. resided here for a number of years. He was a native of Alabama, a man of most engaging personality, highly thought of by all who knew him, a true and sincere friend, and his death is deeply and sincerely deplored. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his bereaved family."
