Burial on Aug 26th 1950 of Alice Jane Cox, aged 86 years.
The news of the death of Mrs Cox was received with deep regret. She was regarded with affection and esteem throughout the village. Many tributes have been paid to her quiet and retiring disposition, but beneath this there was great strength of character based on a sincere religious faith. She clung steadfastly to all that was best in the traditions of the past, yet kept abreast with modern conditions and was tolerant and broadminded in the best sense. In her we saw “the graciousness of old age” and with her work well done she “found peace at the last”. In extending our sympathy to the members of her family we know that mingled with their sense of loss will be many proud and happy memories. WBC.
