Miss Julia Cox Dies on Christmas Day
   On the morning of December 26th between the hours of twelve and  one O'clock 
Miss Julia Cox died at her home about three miles North of Westminster. She had 
been a patient sufferer for the past six or seven years and her death had been 
expected several weeks.  Miss Cox  had been confined to her home and her room 
for several years, but bore her affliction with great fortitude and 
resignation.  She lost her eyesight some four or five years ago and was 
tenderly cared for in her helpless condition by her twin sister, Miss Nettie 
Cox and her elder sister, Miss Rossie Cox.  She was a daughter of Andrew P. Cox 
and Mrs. Caroline Rholetter Cox both of whom died the year 1901.  Since then 
the three sisters had lived together at the old homestead.  Miss Cox united 
with the Methodist church early in life and at the time of her death was a 
member of the Bethel church near her late home.  She was highly esteemed by a 
host of friends and relatives and her death is a source of sorrow to all.  She 
had lived all her life in the community in which she passed away and was 
affectionately known by a large number.  She leaves two brothers, Mr. John L. 
Cox and Mr. E. P. Cox and two sisters, Misses Rossie and Nettie Cox who will 
greatly miss their sister.  May they be comforted by the knowledge of Jesus 
Christ who make it possible to meet loved ones again.    Funeral services were 
held in the home Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock conducted by Rev. J. B. 
Kilgore of the Methodist church and assisted by Rev. T. D. Cartledge of the 
Presbyterian church.  The interment was in Eastview cemetery by the side of the 
grave of her parents.  Mr. John Ansel of Walhalla was the undertaker in charge 
of the burial.  The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to the 
bereaved sisters and brothers.
