Mrs. Sarah Ann Elizabeth Cox was found dead yesterday morning at her home on Greene street in this city, her death being supposed to have been due to old age and heart failure. She lived with her daughter and in adjoining houses to her son, Mr. Albert J. Cox.

She was married to Mr. Cox Nov. 21st, 1851. She had been living in Bartow county since the 17th day of 1885. After she and her husband first married she lived most of the time in Gwinnett County near Lawrenceville.

She was a member of the Baptist church and had been since she was sixteen years old. She was a good pious consecrated Christian woman and was well loved by all who knew her.

She is survived by eight sons and three daughters: W.G. Cox of Pocahontas, Arkansas; Mrs. K.C. Adkins, of near Cartersville; R.M. Cox, of Cass Station, Miss Emma O. Cox, of this city, Mrs. Gertrude Fowler, of Cartersville; Mr. A.J. Cox, of Cartersville, Mr. C.S. Cox, of Cass Station and E.H. Cox of the State Sanitarium. One daughter, Mrs. Mary B. Brandon, wife of W.A. Brandon, died twelve years ago, and Ada Cox died when she was eighteen months old.
