Owen Wallace Cox - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Tallulah Madison Journal July 18, 1924

The friends of Owen Wallace Cox who for over three years had been the victim of cancer of the glands of 
the neck, were prepared to hear of his death which occurred on the morning of the tenth instant.

Every remedy suggested by science having failed and further treatment pronounced futile, the deceased came 
to his sister, Mrs. R. K. Boney, in February, where he, under her loving administration, waited patiently 
for the end, which came peacefully and after a time free from pain.

He was buried beside his mother and father in the Masonic Cemetery at Clinton, Miss.

The deceased was 67 years of age, was born at Clinton, Miss., May 6, 1858, was educated at Mississippi College, 
lived on the farm near Clinton until the death of his mother in 1900 when he came to Madison Parish to engage 
in the mercantile business. He soon became at home where his open, honest character and gracious manners made 
him friends who regretted the nature of his illness prevented them from participating in his care during the last.

He leaves as near relatives, a sister, Mrs. Richard K. Boney, of Tallulah, and a brother, W. Hamilton Cox of Canton, Ga.
