Mrs. Mary E. Cox, a pioneer of Salem since, 1863, and mother of Chester E. Cox died early Friday at the home of her son, 262 Lincoln street with whom she has made her home for a number of years. She had been ill for a number of years but only a week ago her illness became acute and her son Ralph A. Cox of Salt Lake City was summoned.
With her mother, Mrs. Mary Johnson, Mrs. Cox came to Salem from Indiana at the age of five. Since her arrival here in 1863 Mrs. Cox has always lived in Salem. Her husband, J. W. Cox, who died in 1917, was for many years in the grocery business and later in the mail service. Mrs. Cox was a member of the Unitarian church and a member of the Pythian Sisters lodge. Surviving her are her sons, Chester E. Cox of the Ladd and Bush bank, with whom she made her home, and Ralph A. Cox, superintendent of the American Railway express company of Salt Lake City. A brother John H. Miller of Logansport, Indiana, also survives.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon at Rigdon Mortuary. Rev. W. G. Eliott of Portland will conduct the services. Burial will be in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
