Early Settler Dead

Mrs. Eliza Louisa Cox Called to Join The Great Majority

Mrs. Eliza Louisa Cox, wife of Edward Cox, and a resident of this city for over 47 years, died at 3:30 this morning at the family residence, rear of 431 north First West street, of general debility, aged 73 years, 2 months and 11 days.
The deceased had been in poor health for over a year, but her condition was not considered critical until three weeks ago, when she took a sudden turn for the worse and continued to grow weaker until death relieved her of her sufferings. Mrs. Cox was born in Bristol, England, Nov. 2, 1830, and emigrated to Utah in 1856, crossing the plains in Edmund Ellsworth's handcart company. She endured all the trials and privations incident to the early settlement of these valleys, and was a faithful member of the Church, down to her dying day. She leaves a husband and one son, also a host of friends, to mourn her demise.

The funeral will be held from the Nineteenth ward meetinghouse on Sunday at 12 o'clock, noon. Friends are invited. The remains may be viewed at the family residence from 9:30 to 11 a.m. on that day.
