Pg. 115: GAINESBORO SENTINEL, Gainesboro, TN, Thursday, February 16, 1905: Mrs. Urah (Dicy) Fox, who had been confined for some time with heart trouble, departed this life at her home near Clenny, December 24, 1904, at 9 a.m. She was born May 4, 1840 and was married to Urah Fox in 1863 and made a loving and devoted wife. She leaves a number of children, which are scattered over the distant West and other climes, who mourn her death, and also a true husband that is left to fight the battles of life along. She has been a member of the Christian church for some time and she died in the living triumphs of faith. Her seat in this earthly tabernacle is vacated, her voice is hushed in silence, and her body awaits the resurrection morn. She is gone but not forgotten. We ask the many readers of the Sentinel to join with us in sympathy for the bereavements of the relatives and the host of friends that survive her.

They had been reasonably prosperous; three children had been born in their home; they had drank of the cup of satisfaction that is in a peaceful married life until most seven years had passed when the bitter draught came in the death of his wife, March 18, In Feb he was married to Dicie L. Whitefield. At this time, our county was waging a Civil war in which he was a soldier on the confederate side. They could hope to prosper but little while our country was shrouded in the gloom of war, not withstanding there was love in each heart,??? for the other and a prayer on the lip of each that our country might be at peace and that prosperity might abound. Peace finally came and they soon settled on a farm facing the ruins of our southland caused by four years cruel war and worked diligently to build up the country, to make friends, and to gain a comfortable living to which end they reached. Aside from this twelve children was born in their home of whom seven are living as follows: Mary Chaffin, wife of Henry Chaffin, Wesley Fox, of Madill, Okla., Cora Loftis, Texola, Okla., Lenoard Fox, Oklahoma City, Okla., Cynthia Whitson, wife of Leonard Whitson, and Bee Fox, Cookeville, Tenn., and Vona Chaffin, wife of Columbus Chaffin, Gainesboro, Tenn., Route 3.

Such preparations were made as were necessary and his remains were quietly laid to rest in the family cemetery on the following day in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends, after an

21 appropriate service led by John W. Fox. Death always brings sorrow but we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Our beloved and departed obeyed the Gospel of Christ about 52 years ago and we trust was loyal to the sacred cause until death. This being true eternal life will be his to enjoy forever and a crown will be his to wear that is set with jewels rare. May the Lord bless us all in accepting Christ on the terms of the Gospel, and living devoted lives to his sacred cause that we too might inherit a beautiful mansion prepared by our Saviour. -- John W.
