  Obituary- Cox, Sarah E. Mrs. Cox Dead. Mrs. T. J. Cox, aged 51 years, 11 months and 19 days, died at her home in this city Friday, Feb. 13, 1903. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church, conducted by Rev. Nelson. Interment took place in the city cemetery. Sarah Elizabeth Kennedy was born in Kentucky, Feb. 24, 1851. She came to Kansas when a child and was married to Thomas J. Cox. Feb. 24, 1874. For years she has been a great suf¬ferer. For weeks past her sufferings have been so intense that it was her nightly prayer for the Lord to take her home. More than 20 years ago she united with the Christian Church and has ever had an unwavering faith in God which has sustained her through all her many trials and enabled her to be cheerful in the midst of intense pain. She was conscious to the last and knew that the end was approaching swiftly. She told her husband that she had lived a happy life and was ready to go. She then calmly waited the coming of her King and at His approach fell to sleep as sweetly as when a child she nestled on her mother’s breast. She knew by experience what the psalmist meant when he said: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” With Paul we exclaim: “O death, where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory!” A beautiful memorial of Mrs. Cox, which was received too late for this issue will appear in the NEWS next week.—ED. Word reached here Monday morning that Mrs. T. J. Cox had died at 8:40 a.m. at the home of her daughter in St. Joe, Mo. The funeral was held Wednesday in that city. Mrs. Cox was a former resident of Rossville and the wife of ex-postmaster Cox. The relatives have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
