*Obituary
Mrs. Sarah Ann Cox, 70, passed away at her home here Wednesday evening following several years of ill health culminating in a stroke last Saturday from which she failed to rally. Deceased had been a resident of Wheeler 22 years and of this county 26 years, coming here in 1912.

Mrs. Cox was well and favorably known in Wheeler and surrounding community. She was a faithful member of and regular attendant at the Methodist church as long as her health would permit. A large number of friends sympathize with the sorrowing relatives and extend condolences in their loss.

Sarah Ann William was born near Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 22, 1867, and died at Wheeler, Texas, June 22, 1938, at the age of 70 years and seven months. While still a child she moved with the family to Bell county, Texas.

She was converted at the age of 19 and united with the Christian church but later joined the Methodist Episcopal church, South, with her husband, John Elbert Cox, with whom she was married Jan. 2, 1889, at Turnerville, Texas. In 1901 the Cox family moved to Haskell county and in 1912 came to Wheeler county, settling near Locust Grove. The deceased had been a resident of Wheeler for 22 years.

Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Cox, two sons preceding the mother in death; Floyd in 1901 and Valson in 1918. The husband and father died in 1930.

Surviving children are three daughters, Mrs. L.E. Clay, Shamrock; Mrs. T.M. Bradstreet and Mrs. Loyd Davidson, Wheeler, and a son, Claud Cox, also of Wheeler. Nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren survive; also two brothers, H.W. Williams of Turkey and H.S. Williams, San Antonio; and four sisters: Mrs. I. Honig, San Angelo; Mrs. Dorthy Smith, Fort Worth; Mrs. Henry Cathy, Turnerville, and Mrs. J.M. Martin, Glenwood, Ark.

Funeral services were conducted this (Thursday) afternoon from the Methodist church, with Rev. J. Edmund Kirby, former pastor here, officiating. He was assisted by Rev. E.C. Raney, Methodist pastor, Taft Holloway, Baptist pastor and C.C. Merritt, Church of Christ pastor, all of Wheeler, and Rev. Lance Webb, Methodist pastor of Shamrock.
