| 4805 |  | Obituary- Cowles, Eleonora In Memoriam. Died at her residence in Adrian, Jackson Co. Kas. on the 2nd inst., after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Eleanora A. wife of J.W. Cowles. The deceased was born in Elba, Otsego Co., N.Y., April 30th, 1829, and at the age of fourteen she united with the M.E. church, ever after remaining a consistent and honored member. Married at Kenosha, Wis., July 11, 1848. Her early married life was spent in Wisconsin and Illinois, amid many of the hardships and privations always incident to the settlement of a new country. For many years her home was at Rockton, Ill., where she had a large circle of friends and acquaintances; but it was in the home circle where her influence was the bright guiding star of all the members of the household. As a wife she was conscientious in the discharge of every duty, in making home the one attractive spot for him whose happiness and temporal welfare was so largely entrusted to her. In the improvement of her children she was deeply interested, and they will ever hold in grateful remembrance her self-denying labors in helping to bestow upon them the advantages of a superior education. Home was the little world in which she lived. She loved to beautify all its surroundings, and over tasked her strength to minister to the wants of those about her. Eight years ago she suffered from a partial sun stroke, since which time her strength has gradually failed. Removing with her family to this State, two years ago, for a time she was busily employed in active home duties, but for the past year her health has been in a rapid decline. Disease and suffering weakened her mind at the last, a prelude of the final dissolution of the body. Loving hands ministered to her comfort during her last hours, but care could not stay the summons of the death angle [sic angel]. Her death occasions the first break in the family circle. She leaves a companion and four children who will mourn the absent mother, while her brothers and sisters in a distant State will mourn the eldest gone before. Although she had lived but a short time in our midst, a large concourse of sympathizing friends and neighbors followed the remains to their last resting place. She hath done what she could, and although she rests from her labors her works do follow her. J.P.S. [From the Kansas Valley Times, Friday, June 10, 1881] | |

| 4818 |  | 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.
