In Memoriam

On Monday May 19th the death angel came to the home of Mr. Homer Cox and took 
his loving wife home.  She had been confined to her bed only a short while, but 
her sufferings were great; she bore them with such patience and fortitude as is 
only witnessed in a Christian.  All that medical aid, a fond and devoted 
husband and children, friends and relatives could do was done to alleviate her 
sufferings, all to no effect, but loved ones, we must strive to meet her in 
yonder world so bright where she will be waiting with that happy band to 
welcome us home.

Mrs. Cox was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Williamson, was married on Nov. 
1, 1896.  Her age was 37 years, 6 months and 8 days.  She leaves to mourn her 
death a husband and five children, namely: Jewel, Gertrude, Wesley, Eva and 
Ione, besides a host of relatives and friends and friends.

One bright thought comes to us, that our loss has been her gain and that some 
bright day we will meet her in our heavenly home above where there is no pain 
or parting; all is joy, peace and love.

The funeral and interment took place Tuesday at Bethel church.  The service was 
conducted by Rev. J.T. Adams.

Mrs. Belle Bartlett

In Memoriam


Mrs. Harriet Rebecca, consort of Mr. Homer Cox, of
Taylor County, departed this life May 19, 1913 at the
age of 37 years and 6 months.  She was married to
Homer Cox, Nov. 1st 1896 and lived in wedlock until
her death.  She leaves besides her husband, five
surviving children to deeply mourn their loss, for
they could not but feel sadly bereaved at the loss of
a friend so long tried and always found true.  For a
wife and companion too much could not be said of
Rebecca, and then the half would not been told.  As a
mother, she was tender and loving, untiring and
unceasing in her care, in providing for her family;
always rising early and toiling late, without allowing
herself time to rest and oftentimes doubtless, when
her wearied body would invite to rest her willing
steps were heard performing her daily duties, and her
cheerful voice, kind words and bright countenance,
diffused sunshine, joy and gladness to the entire
family circle; therefore to say that she was a true
and devoted companion, a kind and loving mother, is
only to repeat what is well known to be true by all
who knew her; but as a neighbor, she has always been
peaceable, quiet, kind and obliging; thus wife, mother
and neighbor, after drinking the cup passed away.  May
it be well with those whom she left as we believe it
is with her.  The interment took place at Bethel
Primitive Baptist church, funeral services conducted
by Rev. J.T. Adams.
