DIED.
Mrs. John Wilcox died at her home on Second St., Maquoketa, Iowa, March 7th, '92. The health of our sister had been poor for some years but she had kept about her work until recently, gradually failing, until Monday evening she "fell asleep." The deceased was born in Plattsburgh, Clinton Co., N. Y., removed to Canada, and subsequently in Jackson Co., Iowa. This latter journey was begun Feb. 15, 1840, and accomplished in a wagon without delay or accident. Mrs. Wilcox was the mother of eight children, five boys and three girls, six of whom, with their aged father, survive to mourn their loss. Yet they morn not as those without hope; at the age of nineteen she made a noble profession of faith in Christ, uniting with the Baptist Church, a relation that has been continued until she was called above. Especial sympathy is felt for father Wilcox, now eighty-four years old, having lived most happily with this the wife of his youth since Jan. 4, 1835. The funeral took place at the Buckhorn church, near their former home and interment at the cemetery near the church. Rev. M. J. Sigler conducted the services.
