THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, April 1, 1920, Volume
XLIV, Number 20, Page 1, Column 6, “DEATH’S HARVEST—COX.” [Transcribed 31 Dec 2001 from
Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library’s IHS Microfilm Records.]
Fidelia COX, whose maiden name was LIVINGSTON, was the daughter of Blake and Linda
LIVINGSTON, and was born at Newark, January 17, 1866; died at the home March 25, 1920, of
pneumonia, being fifty-four years, two months and eight days old.
She was married to Lemuel COX, March 12, 1885. To this union were born six children—Luna,
who preceded her to the better world; Mrs. Joy BLAND, Bloomfield; Mrs. Daisy FERGUSON,
Solsberry, and John, Elbert and Raleigh. Besides the children she also leaves to mourn
her departure, six brothers and an aged mother, of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and her husband
and eight grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends.
In her early life she accepted the Savior and united with the Baptist church at Salem, and
remained a faithful follower of her Savior whom she loved.
A faithful wife, a devoted mother, a loving sister, a kind and considerate neighbor and
friend has gone from us, but our loss is heaven’s gain.
The funeral services were held at the home last Friday, conducted by Ogdon BURCH, of
Solsberry, after which interment was made in the cemetery at Solsberry.

We desire to express to our friends and neighbors our heartfelt thanks for the acts of
kindness shown us during the sickness and after the death of our beloved wife and mother.
LEMUEL COX, JOHN, ELBERT and RALEIGH COX, MRS. JOY BLAND, MRS. DAISY FERGUSON.
