CATHERINE LAYTON GOES TO REWARD.
Catherine Cox was born on April 5th, 1862, and departed this life on July 3, 1930, being 68 years 2 months and 28 days. She was the daughter of William Morton and Emily Voorheis Cox. Catherine was the third child born in the family of nine children, Henry Tuttle, Kitchel M., Catherine, Alice, an infant son, Joel L., John Thomas, Lura and Arthur M.
She spent her entire life in this neighborhood. At the age of 16 years she united with the Hutsonville Baptist Church under the pastorate of her uncle, John L. Cox. She found great enjoyment in church attendance until afflictions made it impossible to attend.
On the 27th day of October, 1885, she was united in marriage to Armstead Layton. They began housekeeping at the present home of Mike King. Later they removed to her father's old homestead where she spent the balance of her life with her family of loved ones. To this marriage were born five children, Fern E., Edith E., Guy M., Charles A., and Arthur M. Fern preceded her mother, departing this life on June 23, 1906.
Catherine was a most faithful companion and helpmate of her husband, a kind and loving mother and grandmother, and a friend and neighbor to all with whom she came in contact. She was woman of sterling qualities of character and will be greatly missed not only in her own home but in the entire community.
While hearts are sorly wounded at her passing there is a boon in submission to the ways of Providence and a lifting of hearts to Him who said, "I am the resurrection and the life".
She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, a daughter, three sons, seven grandchildren, a sister, four brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends.
"Strength and honor were her clothing. Her children arise up and call her blessed."
Funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, being conducted by Rev. I. C. Tedford. Interment in the Hutsonville Cemetery.
