Notes for Ira Dale Cox
Notes for Dora Alice (Spouse 1)
Mrs. Dora Cox
“A beautiful life ends not in death.” “The End” was written to another beautiful volume of life on Wednesday morning, February 21, 1912 at 4 o’clock when the gentle spirit of Mrs. Alice Dora Cox winged its heavenward light from the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Tharpe near Summers after a year’s illness of tuberculosis, the family enemy.
Mrs. Cox was the last survivor of the family of the late Andrew Pritchard, and was a most estimable Christian woman. She was born on March 2, 1876, and on April 30, 1905 she was happily married to Mr. Ira Cox, son of O. P. Cox of Coxes Mills, who with one little daughter “Elsie Lucile,” aged five years still survives, another little eleven-month old daughter, “Maxie” having been laid away in August of last year.
She gave her heart to Christ at the age of thirteen years, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and was an earnest, useful member to the close of her life; being a skillful musician and a worker in the Sunday school. Some time before the end she realized that earth was “fast receding” and though life was sweet and her family ties dear, with unfaltering trust she calmly faced the inevitable, and made all her arrangements, even to the selection of her casket, pall-bearers, shroud and the hymns that were to be sung.
The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon at 1 o’clock from the South fork Baptist church and was very largely attended. The service was in charge of the Rev. Cyrus Poling of the M. E. church and her cousins, Messrs. C. H., Lakin and Shirley Pritchard, Conrad Snodgrass, Peter and H. E. Wass were the pall bearers.
She was laid away in her bridal dress in a white casket covered with white lilies and pink roses. The hymns used were “No Dying There,” “In that City,” “Nearer My God to Thee,” “The Way seems Brighter” and as they carried her to her last resting place in the churchyard, the congregation impressively sang “Till We Meet again.”
Much sympathy is felt for the husband and little one and the aged grandparents who have been so repeatedly and sadly bereft.
