Death of Mrs. W.W. Cox

Mrs. Nancy Harmon Cox, daughter of Hon. and Mrs. Jas. T. Harmon, and wife of Mr.
W.W. Cox, as born in Taylor County February 26th 1851, married W.W. Cox November
7th 1868, joined the Primitive Baptist Church at Bethel in November 1876, and
departed this life December 12th 1919.

The events chronicled above were very important as they molded her character and
shaped her destiny for the life to come, and the interim between the first and
the last of these events, was not altogether a cloudless day.  There were many
clouds, heart-aches and pains.  There were days of anxious thought and keen
anxiety.  Times when the tear of grief filled the eyes and heart was crushed and
made to bleed at every pore.  But amidst it all she possessed that unyielding
faith and confidence in God, which enabled her to feel and to know that “The
Lord was her Shepherd and that she should not want.”

The even tenor of her life; the mission which she filled in the community as a
peace maker made her a living benediction day by day.

She was a devoted member of the church of her choice, but broad enough in vision
and Christian graces to accord to others the right of religious opinion and
church preference.  She was a Christian and exemplified faith by a daily walk
with God.

In the home life, as wife and mother, none but the brokenhearted husband and the
grief stricken sons and daughters can know how well and faithfully she performed
her part in the honored relationship as wife and the more sacred one of mother.

Her remains were interred at Bethel church Saturday morning December 13, the
funeral services conducted by Rev. J.T. Adams, witnessed by a large concourse of
relatives and sympathetic friends.  The following sons, and sons in law acted as
pall bearers, O.S. Cox, H.W. Cox, R.D. Pye, W.G. Hill, W.A. Payne and R.L. Snider.

She is survived by her husband, W.W. Cox, three sons, J.F., H.W. and O.S. Cox,
all of Butler, five daughters, Mrs. S.J. Huey, Mrs. R.D. Pye, Mrs. W.A. Payne,
of Butler, Mrs. W.G. Hill of Southland and Mrs. R.L. Snider of Montezuma.  She
is also survived by five brothers, L.M. Harmon, H.H. Harmon and W.J. Harmon, of
Butler, James K. Polk Harmon, of LaGrange and Julius Harmon of Milledgeville,
and one sister, Mrs. G.W. Locke, of Ellaville.
