Delilah Roose married William Anthony Hamberlin on November
4, 1858, producing together one daughter Laura Hamberlin Kinard (mother
of Maggie May Kinard Jones). W. A. Hamberlin died of dysentery September
15, 1863 at Fort Delaware, Pea Patch Island following his capture at Big
Black. Jane then married Green Berry Cook. I have only
the transcript of her obituary, below.
**
Death of Mrs. Jane D.
Cook.
A good woman
passed from her earthly home to her heavenly home when the spirit of Mrs.
Jane D. Cook took its flight Oct. 21, 1914.
She was born
June 27, 1836, in Alabama. Her maiden name was Miss Jane D. Roose. Of a
family of thirteen children she was the last one. It was the happy lot
of Mrs. Cook. She was twice married. Her first husband, was William Hamberlin.
To this union was born one child. Her second husband was Green Berry Cook.
Those left
to mourn her death are one daughter, two grand-daughters, two grand-sons,
besides a Host of relatives and friends. We will all miss Aunt Jane, as
she was more often called. I can truly say I think Mrs. Cook a good Christian
woman. In her girlhood she gave her life to God and united with the Methodist
Church, where she remained a faithful member until thirty-seven years ago
when she decided to unite with the Baptist church, where she remained until
her death. Always trying to help those she could, serving God to the best
of her ability.
I can truly
say I think God said unto her, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant,
come up higher."
I have often
been with Aunt Jane during her hours of illness. As a true Christian woman
her influence will live on forever. Mrs. Cook was a charter member of Providence
church. She was one of those rare, good old Confederate women. Sad to say
those good old ladies will all soon be transplanted to their home on high.
