We are called upon to perform the sad duty this week of chronicling the death of one of our highly esteemed citizens, Mr. Eli Thomas Cook, which occurred at his home in this city Thursday, March 24, 1892 at 3 p.m. from pneumonia. The deceased was born near Clayborn, Alabama April 25, 1828 and on July 6, 1854 was married to Miss Elizabeth D. Dumas in Union county, Arkansas from which union eleven children, six sons and five daughters were born, of whom remain two sons, Jacob M. and Fred A. and two daughters, little Birdie B. and Mrs. Rachel V. Langford, of this city, and two daughters, Mmes. Martha E. Smith and Florence C. Byrd, of Pine Bluff. Mr. Cook was a member of the Missionary Baptist church and was a consistent Christian gentleman. He moved to this city in February 1889 and has during his stay in our midst, worked faithfully for the upbuilding of Bentonville. In his death we lose an enterprising citizen, the church a faithful member, his family a devoted husband and loving father. Their many friends, together with the Sun, extend deep and sincere sympathy to the sorrowing wife and family in their great bereavement. Funeral services were conducted at the residence Friday at one o'clock p.m. by Rev. T.L. Fulbright, pastor of the Baptist church, after which the remains were laid to rest in our beautiful cemetery.

He was one of the best men the writer ever knew and if he had one enemy we never heard of it. He was a true hearted, public spirited Southern gentleman. We have lost one of our best men and we all bow in sorrow and extend to the bereaved a sympathizing hand.

{from The Little Rock Optic} All the family at this Institution {a school for the deaf. Ed.} were saddened to learn by a letter from Fred Cook that his father was dead. Mr. Cook has been the friend of this school for years, Fred, his youngest son, having been a pupil here, whenever his health would permit, since 1882. We had heard that he was sick but were not prepared to hear of his death. He was for a long time a prominent merchant of Champagnolle but for the last few years had lived at Bentonville. He died on March 24th, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in his sixty-third year. He was one of those energetic, kind-hearted business men whose death always leaves a place very hard to fill, a member of the Baptist church, a good husband and a kind, father. May he rest in peace.
