Danielsville Monitor 22 Apr 1927
Mrs. Ella Mattox Passes On

    On last Saturday morning at 5 o'clock the death Angel entered into the 
home of one of Danielsville's bet families and called for Mrs. Ella R. Mattox 
and carried her upon death's journey.  Aunt  Ella as most of us called her 
yielded with that satisfaction due to a long life of usefulness and kindness 
which made the truthfulness of "Well done thou good and faithful servant enter 
thou into the joys of thy Lord;" and winged away upon the great journey 
surrounded by her immediate family and a number of interested friends.  She 
had lived to the ripe old age of 85 years, being cheerful at the times despite 
the fact of an infirmity, not being able to hear well the majority of her life.
    She and her husband, the late Hosea B. Mattox, were one of the pioneer 
families of our county and had contributed their share to the upbuilding of 
our town and churches she being a member of the Baptist church here, trusting 
in God and obeying the ordinance of this institution, thought owing to 
sickness was never able to be present very much, yet standing for the precepts 
did abiding in faith.  The immense floral offering attested the esteem in 
which she was held by friends.
   She was borne to the grave by eight of her stalwart grandsons, preceded by 
four granddaughters carrying flowers; the funeral services being conducted 
from the Baptist Church by her pastor, Rev. W. M. Coile with Alvin Baker 
funeral director in charge, the interment being in Danielsville cemetery along 
side of her husband.
   she is survived by two sons; Lee A. Mattox of Danielsville; Roscoe C. 
Mattox of Murphy N. C.; six daughters: Mrs. J. M. Kidd, Mrs. C. C. Crook; Mrs. 
C. C. Kidd of Danielsville, Mrs. A. M. Scarborough of Comer; Mrs. Tom Thornton 
of Athens and Mrs. Whit Hansford of Arnoldsville, a number of grandchildren 
and other relatives with a great number of friends.
