Man Kills Wife, Self at Radcliff Home

A 42-year-old man and his wife were killed in shooting incidents which apparently grew out of 
a domestic quarrel at their home, 158 East Vine Street, early Monday afternoon.

Dead are James C.  Cox and his wife Goldie.

Each was shot three times with a .32 caliber revolver.

Hardin County Coroner Dr.  Robert Taylor ruled the deaths murder and suicide.

According to a Radcliff City Police report, Cox shot his wife three times with the revolver 
and then fired three shots into his own chest.  Radcliff Police Chief John Farrelly, who had 
been called to the scene, shot the gun out of Cox's hand when he refused to drop it.  Cox and 
his wife were dead on arrival at Hardin Memorial Hospital.

The shooting occurred about 1:30 p.m.

Cox, a native of Bell County and a veteran of World War II, was a truck mechanic for an ice 
cream vending company.  His wife was also from eastern Kentucky.

They leave a daughter, Miss Sue Cox.

Cox is also survived by his mother, Mrs.  Linda Cox, Pineville, and a brother, Grover Cox, 
Flaherty.

His body was sent from Perry & Alvey Funeral Home to Pineville where services were conducted 
Wednesday.  Burial was in the family cemetery.

Mrs.  Cox's body was sent to her home for services and burial.
