General Notes: Husband - John W. Cox


He resided on his own farm of 125 acres, which was situated on the west side of the Wilmington Junction road, in Wilmington Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. He was the executor of his father's estate and cultivated 215 acres of the old homestead farm. He obtained a good public school education and later took a commercial course in Duff's Business College. From boyhood he took a deep and intelligent interest in all matters pertaining to agriculture and made a special study of many branches. For some years he was a lecturer on agricultural subjects and was commissioned to attend the farmers' institutes in different parts of the country, his duties requiring about twenty-five days' absence from home in the year. He represented the division of Zoology, although his studies and investigations made him acquainted with many other special lines. This scientific work required a large part of his time.


Notes: Marriage

They were married by Rev. J. M. Foster.
