| (From Friday's Daily) Weekly-Journal Miner (Prescott, Arizona) Wednesday, February 17, 1915, p. 2 When Wife Dies Husband's Life Cord Snaps Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cox At Walnut Grove Pass Away In A Few Hours Of Each Other "The burden is too heavy to bear so in life as in death do I hope to be with her on the other shore," said T. J. Cox at his home in Walnut Grove last Saturday, as he stood over the body of his wife who had passed to the beyond a few minutes before. Stepping into his bedroom he laid down, and in less than six hours later his earthly sorrows came to an end when the hand of death also seized him. Mrs. Cox was afflicted with pneumonia, and had been under treatment for over ten days. During the long hours of constant vigil of the devoted husband, his health also shattered, and when the end came, he faced the inevitable. His health also had been poor and his death was attributed to nothing more or less than a broken heart. Man and wife had been residents of that locality for over ten years, and enjoyed a splendid name with all. He was the postmaster, as well was he interested in mining and other pursuits being energetic in his business dealings until health overtook him. There is very much sympathy expressed over the loss of these people, which is made all the more pathetic for five little children are left fatherless and motherless. Mr. and Mrs. Cox will be laid away this forenoon in one grave. See Also: Find A Grave |
