She was a very beautiful young woman and the apple of her parents' eye. She trained as a stenographer and worked as a secretary in her early years.
Agnes married Edward Mitchell Cosover in Manhattan, New York on March 11, 1936. They had three children: Charles Mitchell in 1937, Gerald Howard in 1941 and Lynn Jane in 1955. There were three other children who did not survive.
She followed her husband to Easton, Northampton Co., Pennsylvania for work in 1954. Eventually her parents joined her there.
After her daughter went to school, she worked for the Easton National Bank and Trust Company in Easton, retiring as a bank officer in the safety deposit section in 1979.
Agnes and Eddie moved to Willow Grove, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania to be closer to their daughter in 1987. She returned to Easton after her husband's death.
Agnes was famous for her pot roast and macaroni and cheese. She enjoyed visiting Atlantic City and cruising the Caribbean, and she had a solid group of girlfriends with whom she lunched and played cards for many years.
Born the year that Pyrex glass was introduced, her lifetime bridged the most expansive century in human history. In 1915, Woodrow Wilson was president. There were only 48 American states, US women could not vote, and the Great War had started in Europe. The Great Depression, World War II, antibiotics, television and the economic boom of the 1950s were all within her living memory. She witnessed the passage of the Civil Rights Act, the moon landing, the internet and the inauguration of an African-American president.
Agnes' family was her pride and joy, and she loved seeing everyone get together for family celebrations. She once said in surprise at a family gathering: "All this came from me!"
She had 11 grandchildren, including a deceased grandson Bobby, and 14 great grandchildren as of late 2015.
Her children loved her dearly and were very good to her all her life. She will be very much missed.
