OBITUARY..

Sep. IA, 1852, in Morgan county,
KY, and died at West Liberty,
KY, June 80, 1911, aged 81 years
9 months and II days.
On May 2, 1877 she was uni
ted in marriage to M. T. Won
ack. To this union was born
one son, Clay Wade. The hus-
band, son, one brother, Henry
M. Cox and one sister, Mrs. Jen-
ME Marker, survive her.
\ Beside the members of her
immediate family, she leaves
many relatives and friends, the
church and the whole community
to mourn her loss.
When twelve years of age she
made confession of her faith in
christ and was baptised by Ed.
Curren Maxey, becoming a mem
Der of the Christian Church at
West Liberty. KY, OF which she
remained a faithful member un-
I'll she joined the church trium-
plant.
She is one who will be greatly
missed by all who knew her, for
she was a devoted wife, mother
and friend. She loved her home
and family and gave herself
largely to them, but yet her
kindly spirit found other ways
expression, for in her the sick
and needy always found a SYM
pathetic and helpful friend.
And too, while she loved the
quiet and always preferred the
retreat of her own home to pub
lie activities or the fireside Of
any other, there was no incident
or movement in the community
in which she did not have an in
terest. She loved all that was
best in life and was keenly alive
to all that stood for the moral
and intellectual uplift Of the
community. Back Of the reserve
and quiet life there was a virile,
vital public spirit. In her blood
coursed enough of the oak and
granite of her Scotch-Irish and
english ancestry to give her con-
viction, and by these convictions
she lived and has died.
For several years she has suf-
fered a decline of health but yet
life itself was to her a joy, and
for the sake of fellowship with
and service to her family and
friends she has fought death
back. Three weeks ago last
Friday, hoping for further re.
'lief, she went from her home tc
st. Anthony's hospital, Louis
vile. There under the examina-
ton of the country's best medi-
cal skill it was found her case
: was beyond the power of earthly
!. help and there was naught to dc
but to make her as comfortable
as possible until disease had don(
n its work.
5 Though not so told by any one
L it seemed by intuition that sht
understood that her sojourn hers
was soon to end and her hear
! turned homeward. From tn
! moment she lost hope of re
y covery she pleaded to be bror gh
to her home and friends. 1t wa
: here among these hills and val
e leys and scenes and friends
that she had been born ant
\ reared and had lived and wrough
IT and here she would die an,
Z, among these things which wer
J warp and wool of her soul an
life would she have her bod
u rest in its last sleep. Becaus
y of her unceasing entreaties tn
journey homeward was under
taken and one week ago Frida
= she again reached home. In thi
: fact she was happy. The
e. through the days of anothe
week she tarried with us an
" last Friday she quit the table
nacle of earth for the abode {
