Volina Marie Cox.  Friends were grieved and saddened to hear of the death
of Mrs. Cox, formerly Volina Grissom.  She was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. A. Grissom and was born Nov. 7, 1909 and died August 14, 1928, at
her home in Elk City, after a desperate struggle to live.  She bore it all
with a smile unto the end.
She professed religion at the age of 12 years and joined the Methodist
church and lived a sweet religious life.  She received her high school
education in Elk City and Strong City, and her sweet personality won her
friends wherever she went, and her sweet smiling face will be missed by
dear ones.
She was married to Gerome Cox May 21, 1927, and besides the husband, she
leaves to mourn her departure, her father, mother, two brothers, P. D. and
Joe Grissom, of Elk City, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Emma Delois died with her and was buried clasped in the arms of the mother
who paid so dearly a sacrifice.  The funeral was held at the Broadway
Methodist church Wednesday afternoon.
Rev. A. P. Cummins of the North Methodist church officiated.
Grubitz and Son had charge of funeral arrangements and interment was made
in Fairlawn cemetery.
