         Pneumonia Fatal To George Cook

                   Funeral Services to Be
                Conducted This Afternoon


George Cook, 30, of Wickham, died yesterday at 6:10 a.m. of pneumonia. He was a truck driver for the Raleigh Grocery company, and had been with that concern more than ten years, its manager, J. S. Higgins, said yesterday.

The last work Cook did was to sort celery salvaged from a truck which wrecked at Harper and killed two men two weeks to the day before he died.

He became ill that day, first with pleurisy, later with pneumonia which killed him.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Cook, three sisters, Mrs. Herbert Underwood, Misses Gertrude and Rose Cook, and one brother, Haskell Cook, all of Wickham.

Funeral services will be conducted at the Mt. Tabor church today at 2:30, burial following at Mt. Tabor. Pallbearers will be:
   Active - W. A. Fadely, L. N. Gravely, Jr., H. R. Baker, L. C. Dickinson, P. C. Walker, and R. B. Bailey, all Cook's fellow employes.
   Honorary - J. S. Higgins, O. F. Cain, John Gravely, J. R. Emmons, A. R. Cok, W. A. White, S. E. Snead, W. O. Bailey, Venna and Birch Phillips, Davis Snuffer, W. H. Davenport, and F. P. Malone.

Noble Grand Calvin Moore, of the White Stick lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, announced members of that order would meet at the hall at 1 p.m. today to attend the funeral. Cook was a member of the order.
