DIED-

MRS. JOHN WILCOX died at her home on Second Street, Maquoketa, Iowa, March 7th,
1892. The health of our sister had been poor for some years, but she kept about
her work until recently, gradually failing, until Monday evening she “fell
asleep.”  The deceased was born in Plattsburg, Clinton County, New York, removed
to Canada and subsequently to Jackson County, Iowa. The latter journey was begun
February 15, 1840, and accomplished in a wagon without delay or accident. Mrs.
Wilcox was the mother of eight children, five boys and three girls, six of whom,
with their aged father, survive to mourn their loss. Yet they mourn not as those
without hope: at the age of nineteen she made a public profession of faith in
Christ, uniting with the Baptist Church, a relation that has been continued
until she was called above. Especial sympathy is felt for father Wilcox, now
eighty-four years old, having lived most happily with this the wife of his
youth, since January 4, 1835. The funeral took place at the Buckhorn Church,
near their former home and interment at the cemetery near the church. Rev. M. J.
Sigler conducted the services.
