In Memoriam

Mrs. Samantha E. Cox nee Taunton daughter of Reve and Polly Taunton, was born 
Feb. 23rd, 1873 and married to J.W. Cox, Oct. 14th, 1891.  The writer was well 
acquainted with Samantha the greater part of her life and was with her during 
her last illness.  She was a kind and affectionate daughter, always anxious to 
please and obey her parents – kind and loving to her brothers and sisters and 
devotedly attached to her friends.  Although she had connected herself with any 
church, she was religiously inclined from childhood, and we feel sure that she 
is now with the blessed.  The summons from her dear Lord came on the 22nd day 
of December; her spirit took its flight 15 minutes of 5 o’clock p.m.  She was 
conscious to the last, and willing to go to her home in heaven.  She told her 
husband she could not stay with him, but her way was bright and she was not 
afraid to go.  She kissed him goodbye and told him to live so that he could 
meet her in heaven.  She then called her father and mother and kissed them 
goodbye, asking them to meet her in heaven also all her relatives were present, 
asking them and her husband to so raise her children that they would be 
respected and finally come home to her.  Her last words were: “Be good to my 
babies,” then her loving spirit took its flight to its home.  While we tender 
our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved husband, parents and relatives, we have 
the sweet hope that Samantha is now better off than we and we hope that her 
dying testimony and wishes will constrain her parents and relatives, husband 
and friends to meet her in the “Sweet Bye and Bye” where we will never know 
sickness, sorrow nor trouble anymore.

By her loving friend,
M.L.Davis

March 3rd, 1894
