| JULIA ANN COX OBITUARY |
| Submitted by: Mark Pina |
MRS. McVEY'S MOTHER DEAD
Mrs. Julia Ann Luckie Cox, aged 84, died at her home at 2300 SW 35th Street Oklahoma City, Wednesday, May 6 after an illness of more than six months.
Mrs. Cox was born March 10, 1858, at San Antonio, Texas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Luckie, who were among the first settlers in that state.
On March 7, 1877, she was united in marriage to Jesse C. Cox, near Marble Falls, Texas. To this union were born seven children, two sons and one daughter preceding her in death. Survivors are her husband, Jesse C. Cox, Oklahoma City; one daughter, Mrs. Annie McVey, Wanette; three sons, Frank, of Chickasha; Sam, of Coleman, and Miller of Oklahoma City; twenty grandchildren, thirty five great grandchildren and one great great grandchild.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox moved in a covered wagon from Burnet County, Texas to what was then Indian Territory in May 1894, settling at Grady, in what is now Jefferson County. Later they moved to Washita county and then to other parts in Oklahoma, locating in Oklahoma City about ten years ago.
Mrs. Cox was converted a great many years ago and united with the Christian church and by precept and example proclaimed her faith in her Savior. Born of pioneer parents who braved the dangers and hardships of founding the state of Texas, reared amidst the alarm of Indian raids on the frontier, the Civil War and the reconstruction period, coming to Oklahoma in early days, she was truly a "pioneer". A devoted wife and mother, friend and counselor, her life was of the highest type of Christian womanhood. She was loved and honored by all who knew her and it was a privilege to be her friend. During the months of her illness she was never heard to complain and bore her suffering with true Christian fortitude.
Funeral services were held Friday morning, May 8, at 10:00 in Perrine Funeral Chapel, Oklahoma City, with Rev. R. D. Cook, pastor of Agnew Ave. Baptist Church, conducting.
Burial was in Stroud Cemetery by the side of a son, Richard, with Rev. B. E. Newton, Christian minister, conducting graveside services.
