Mrs. Harriet L. Cox Dies; Came of Pioneer Family

Sister of Well-Known Indianapolis Man Had Been Lifelong Resident of Indiana

Mrs. Harriet Landers Cox, 76 years old, died at her home, 1110 North Alabama Street, yesterday morning. Mrs. Cox was born near Landersdale, Morgan County, Indiana, where her father William Landers, the first settler of Madison township, located in the spring of 1819. Her mother, Delilah Stone Landers, entertained the commissioners from Corydon, the old state capital, in their journey to Marion County to locate the Capital at Indianapolis.

Mrs. Cox was one of a family of three daughters and eleven sons. Of these only John Landers, a brother, 719 North Pennsylvania Street, survives her.
