per transcript wife of John Joughlin Cox
On Sunday morning last the friends of Mrs. Anna M. Cox were shocked to learn of her sudden death from heart failure.
Anna Mead Cox was a younger sister of the late James W. Husted, of this village, and a daughter of John Husted and Caroline Raymond, of Bedford,N. Y., where she was born on Dec. 26, 1840.
She was married in 1868 to John Joughin Cox, of Brooklyn, but continued to live in Bedford, where Mr. Cox owned a country place.
On the death of her husband, in 1871,she was left with two children, a boy of 2 years, and a baby girl. The little girl lived only a few months, but the boy grew to manhood, and was his jmother's joy and solace. His education brought Mrs. Cox to Peekskill,where she resided for three years while he attended the Peekskill Miltary Academy.
Later she went with 'him to Andover, New Haven, and to Cambridge, where he died very suddenly in December, 18__
The previous summer she had bought the lot on Simpson Place, where her home now stands, intending to become a permanent resident of Peekskill.
She carried out this plan and has lived here since 1893.
In spite of her overwhelming sorrow in the loss of her son, she did not shut herself up to her grief, but entered into the village life, interested herself in its charities, and every movement for the public welfare received her ardent co-operation and support.
At the time of her death she was an active member of St. Peter's Church, of the Associated Charities, and of the Peekskill Hospital Association.
Her days were filled with acts of love and mercy, and many homes of the poor,which she never entered empty-handed, will miss her bright smiles and words of help and comfort.
Her funeral services were held at her home on Tuesday morning, and in the afternoon of that day she was laid to rest in the little church-yard of St. Matthew's Church, Bedford, where her own family and her parents and grandparents lie buried.
Mrs. Cox was a woman of unusual gifts, both of mind and character, and she will be greatly missed by a host of friends, to whom she has endeared herself, not only by her sweet, unselfish spirit, but also by her delightful sense of humor, her ready sympathies and charming personality.
She died as she had often declared it was her wish to die—quickly, that she might not be a care to others, and
while still in active service.
Her friends have lost a dear companion,
and the village of Peekskill one of its most public-spirited
citizens
