MIbb Ida Belle Cox was born in Rowan ' County, Tenn., May 10, 1871, and died at the family home In Medford, Oregon, Jan. 31, 1899, aged twenty-seven years, eight months and twenty-one days. She was converted under the ministry of G. W. Kennedy during his pastorate at Central Point Id 1894, and has been a faithful member of the Methodist Church ever since. She was a great, but patient sufferer, and died in the triumphs of the faith. She said to her pastor a few daya before the death angel came "I put my truBt in Jeans and be- . lieve that be saves me." When the -mmmona came she was ready, saying to iler sister, "I am going home." In her leath the family have lost a loving - laughter, and an affectionate sister; the icquaintances, a kind friend, and the Jhnrch a faithful member. The family wish to extend thanks to ill the friends and people of Medford for their sympathy and kindness shown tbem in their bereavement. H. N. Rounds, Pastor. Funeral service, were held at tbe M.
