Mrs. Mary J. Cox, A Well Known Old Resident, is dead
By Obie Davenport
Mrs. Mary Jane Cox, an old and highly respected lady of the north part of the county, died Saturday at her home. The funeral was held Sunday at the family home and was conducted by Rev. W E Kauffman, assisted by Rev. Tye and Rev. Houston. Interment was in the Laughlin cemetery.
Mary Jane Rockhold, daughter of Loyd and Jane Rockhold was born in Carroll County, Mo., May 26, 1837. She was one of a family of eleven children, all of whom preceded her in death except her brother, Richard L Rockhold and another brother in California. She moved to Mercer County with her parents, when a child. She was married to the Reverand Burton Cox, Oct 23, 1856 and through their long wedded life she was an exemplar companion, kind, loving, faithful and self-sacrificing. To this union nine children were born. Jarret M, Mrs. Nancy A Thompson, Brewster, Kans., Miss Ellen deceased; Mrs Madora Hampton, Lineville; Thomas W Cox, Lineville; L ****** *** **** Tipton B and *** ****** ***** **** **** ****** ** *** ***** ****** ******* ****** ***** ***** ***** *** ** ******* **** ** the same motherly kindness and gentle she reared a large number of homeless and orphan children.
The hospitality of the Cox home was shared and enjoyed by the entire community for many years. And it has been quite often said that no one was permitted to the leave the Cox home at meal time without breaking bread with this fine old family. Since her husbands death she had lived with her devoted sons, Jarret and Porter in the old home. Her daughter had offered her the comforts of her home but she preferred to remain under the old roof until the end. The children were ever ready to make any sacrifice for their dear old mother's comfort and pleasure. The relatives assembled to celebrate her birthday May 26, and although she was bedfast at the time she greatly enjoyed the occasion very much and was glad they all came home to spend the day.
She was reared by devoted Christian parents was early in life became a member of the Christian church. Later she with her husband, who preached the gospel for more than a quarter century, united with the Baptist church in 1871. She departed this vale of tears to dwell for ever with the pure and Holy. She had for several days been happy singing "I'm Going Home to Die No More." The morning of her death she prayed that the Savior might come and take her home. And, with her passing there comes to our minds this phrase from the Inspired word. "Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful, over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of the Lord."

Mary married Minister John Willis Burton Cox on 23 Oct 1856 in Mercer County, Missouri. John (son of Arthur Willison Cox and Susannah M Laughlin) was born on 19 Dec 1825 in Rutherford County, Tennessee; died on 24 Apr 1899 in Mercer County, Missouri; was buried in Laughlin Cemetery, Mercer County, Missouri.

Notes:

From Andre Mostert about the Jasper Alexander Cox and Eliza Augusta Duncan History:
My sister Trudy wrote this short article about our Cox/Duncan grandparents. Our mother Dora Cox had told us this story often. Also Uncle Ona wrote his own story of his father and mother which is almost identical to mother's. There is a verbal quirk in northern Missouri that pronounces an ending "a" as "i or "y". So Auda, Ona, Ina would all be pronounced as Audy, Ony, Iny. I can verify this having heard my mother and her brothers and sisters saying this often. They called her (Dora) Dory. Continuing along this line, natives of the northern border with Iowa also called the state Missoura, not Missoury.
