The Cleburne Newspaper Issue Thursday, January 27, 1916. RANDOLPH AND CORINTH News. IN MEMORY OF MRS. J.W. COX. On January 11th, sister Mary F. Cox, wife of Rev. J.W. Cox, fell asleep after a long and lingering illness. She was Miss Mary F. Miller of Walton County, Georgia and was born on the 5th day of June 1838. She was married to Rev. J.W. Cox on January 21, 1855 and joined the church the same year. Thus making her married life as well as her connection with the church 61 years.She was always a consistent member of the Methodist Church south and was ever true and faithful to her church. In this connection she lived and died and never swerved from her christian integrity. All long down the years she was a faithful wife and a tender mother. She was indeed a help mate to her husband who was a minister of the gospel. When the great day of final reckoning shall come and the crowns are bestowed will she be forgotten? No, verily, she will not be forgotten. While her husband was off in the discharge of his duties as minister, she was at home looking after the domestic affairs. Will she not be counted worthy to receive a crown of life along with her husband?Her funeral was attended by the writer who spoke on the final victory over death and the grave. Her remains were laid to rest in the old church yard at old Hurricane where sleep so many of the faithful of the day of long ago. Her life was consistent. She said that she loved everybody and was ready to go. Her influence will live on after her. "Blessed are the dead who died in the lord. They shall rest from their labors and their works do follow them."May God's richest blessings rest upon her beloved companion who is left to mourn her loss and may her memory be a rich heritage to her children and her grandchildren.
