Julia Jane Webb was born October 28th, 1832, in Sullivan county, Tennessee, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Divine, near Howard, Kansas, on January 28th, 1916 aged 83 years and 3 months.

She was married to E. S. Cox on September 12th, 1852.  She moved with her husband to Arkansas in 1860 where they made their home until a few years ago when they returned to Kansas making their home with their daughter, Mrs. Divine.

Her husband preceded her to that home beyond five years ago last August.  To this union ten children were born, six of whom preceded their mother to the life beyond the grave.

In her death she leaves to mourn her loss three sons and one daughter with their families, viz, E. B. and J. N. Cox of Greenland, Arkansas and J. M. Cox and Mrs. Robert Divine of Howard.  Grandmother Cox leaves twenty-five grandchildren and twenty-five great-grandchildren, with a host of friends who will miss the sunshine of her noble Christian life.

Early in life she was converted and united with the Methodist church.  About twently-five years ago she identified herself with the Presbyterian church where she remained a faithful member until her death, and by her exemplary Christian life and loving sympathy she endeared herself to all who knew her.  She was a faithful, loving wife, a devoted and patient mother, a sympathetic and helpful friend.

Her funeral was preached in the United Brethren church near where she died on January 29th, at 3 p.m., by O. L. weir, pastor First Baptist church of Howard, and her body was laid to rest in Fair View cemetery.

May the Lord comfort the bereaved.
