Death of Mrs. Thomas D. Cox. - Mrs. Thomas D. Cox, nee Sarah Ann House, died 
at the family home on St. Philomene plantation, near Barton, at 5 o'clock p. 
m. Sunday, July 29, aged 79 years, 11 months and 23 days. her candle of life 
had burned to the socket, and while her loved ones and friends realized the 
inevitable end was near, none the less the extinguishment of the slender 
flame shrouded many hearts in gloom and caused a pall of desolation to 
descend upon the community in which she lived. The funeral took place Monday 
afternoon, services being held at the Episcopal church in Napoleonville at 
3:30 o'clock, after which internment was made in the burial ground nearby. 
Mrs. Cox was universally revered and respected for her many admirable 
qualities. The trials of life and reverses of fortune she sustained with 
dignity and honor, and her pure and noble heart was ever the shrine of those 
pre-eminent virtues which should always adorn the Christian matron. Besides 
her grief-stricken husband, Mrs. Cox leaves two sons, Thos. D. Cox, Jr., of 
St. Philomene plantation, and Willie Cox, field manager of the Peytavin 
plantation adjoining Donaldsonville, both of whom stand high in the esteem 
and respect of their fellows because of the sterling character that each 
possesses, inherited from both paternal and maternal ancestors. the Chief 
joins with hosts of others in extending sincere sympathy to the bereaved 
family.
