Malinda Ann Cox
Malinda Ann Pearson was a daughter of Patrick and Nancy Pearson. She was born in Washington County, Kentucky, November 13, 1851 and died in Blandinsville, Illinois, November 5, 1921, aged 69 years, 11 months and 23 days.
On December 10, 1871 [February 13, 1872] she was united in marriage to Darius H. Cox. To this union were born nine children, three of whom preceded her in death. She is survived by her husband, six children, Mrs. Ida Thomas, Mrs[.] Flora Nelson, Robert L[.], George H. and James T[.], all of whom live in or near Blandinsville, and Mrs. Nannie Hansell [sic] of Louisville, Ky., eleven grandchildren and two great great grandchildren [sic].
Mother Cox became a christian at the age of fourteen and placed her membership with the Central Christian church of Lexington, Ky. where it remained until the time of her death.
She came to Illinois in the fall of 1912 and has been a citizen of Blandinsville since that time. Mrs. Cox was one of the characters who will never be forgotten. All her life she has been an example of the christian principles for which she professed to live. Since coming to Blandinsville, though she has been an invalid, scarcely able to leave her home, she has so endeared herself by her kind, cheerful and patient disposition to those who knew her that her presence will ever be felt. She was possessed of many noble traits of character, one of which was that she never spoke a word of harm aboue [sic] anyone and always discouraged those who would do so.
Her greatest work in life was to her family. Aside from being a faithful and loving wife she was especially devoted to her children[.] She loved and served them in a way was past understanding. Nothing was to [sic] good for them that she could give either in love or to material things. Through the years to come, her mother love and christian spirit would be one of the guiding influences of their lives and will help bear them __. We believe she has gone to that better world where there is no night[.]
One less at home!
The charmed circle broken, a dear face
Missed day by day from its accustomed place.
But, cleansed and saved and perfected by grace,
One more in Heaven!
One less at home!
Once voice of welcome hushed, forevermore
One farewell work unspoken, on the shore
Where partings come not, one soul landed more,
One more in Heaven!
One less at home!
