Mrs. G. W. Hook
Mrs. G. [eorge] W. [illiam] Hook [Jessie Boyd] died suddenly early Tuesday morning. She had been confined to her bed for several weeks following [the] birth of a daughter, but her condition was not considered serious. But for her constant grieving over the death of her only son [John] a few weeks ago she would probably have been living and well. This double visitation of death to one family has brought sorrow to the entire community and sympathy to the home where a father and little daughters are called upon to miss both son and brother and wife and mother, while an infant child will never know a mother's care. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock today at the residence, conducted by Rev. Fred N. Willis of the First Methodist Church, of which Mrs. Hook was a devoted member.
Mrs. Hook [Jessie] was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. [ohn] S. Boyd of Bedford and was born July 6, 1876. She was united in marriage with G. [eorge] W.[illiam] Hook September 19, 1900. She was the mother of five children, three of whom are living, Ruth, Mary, and the infant daughter. Besides the husband and daughters, there are surviving her parents, two brothers, Bruce B. Boyd of Enterprise, Ore., and Frank Boyd of Parsons, Kan., and one sister, Mrs. G.[eorge] W. Hough [Anna] of Conway.
