MRS. JANE COX DIED YESTERDAY

Mrs. Jane COX, one of the oldest residents of Jefferson county, died yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the home of her son Charles L. COX in Cedar township after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. COX had been seriously ill for several weeks and her death was not unexpected.

Mrs. COX was formerly Miss Jane LITTON and she had spent nearly all of her life in Jefferson county. In early womanhood she was married to Eli COX, who died about three years ago (sic - in 1906). To them were born six children, four of whom, Albert Elizabeth, Charlotte and Minnie have preceded their mother. Two sons, Charles of near this city and John of Colorado, survive. Since the death of her husband, Mrs. COX has made her home with her son Charles.

The funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at two o'clock at the residence and the interment will take place in the Wright cemetery.
