Obituary.
Mary Mills, daughter of Alexander and Sarah Mills, was born October 28, 1826, in Hamilton county, Indiana. At the age of eighteen she went to live with an uncle in Clinton county, Ohio. At the home of this uncle she was married in July, 1846 to Mr. Eli Cox. Ten years later, in 1856, she came with him to Madison county, Iowa, to the farm in Union township, where she resided to the time of her death. Very early in life she united with the Christian church in Indiana, and in 1888 changed her membership to the United Brethren, of which church she remained a member. Her husband preceded her in death March 22, 1885. To Mr. and Mrs. Cox twelve children were born, eleven of whom, together with sixty-one grand children and sixty-one great grand children survive. For many years Grandma Cox had been a great sufferer and for two years had not walked, but had gone about in a wheeled chair, being very patient and spending much time reading the bible until the past few months, when her sight failed, but she was never heard to complain and died peacefully, at the home of her son, Alfred Cox, Friday, April 16, 1909, at the advanced age of 82 years, 5 months and 18 days. The funeral services were held at the home on Sunday, April 18 conducted by Rev. J. H. White, and burial made in the McDonald cemetery.
