LYLE -- (Special to The News) -- Sarah Masson Cox was
born in Schilo, Ontario, Canada, April 2, 1872. She received a majority of
her education in the Province of Canada. She came from Canada to stay with
her sister in Minnesota, where she was employed as an assistant matron in
an Indian boarding school. After a time, her health having failed, she gave
up her work and came to Oregon to visit with her brother in 1905, where she
made her home.
On December 22, 1909, she was united in marriage to Francis
M. Cox at Oak Grove, Oregon, in Clackamas county, at the home of her sister,
Mrs. J.H. Graham.
She was, for a number of years, a member of the
Congregational church, but in later years, became affiliated with the Methodist
church, to which she was ever faithful, also a member of the Ladies Aid society
and W.C.T.U. Mrs. Cox taught Sunday school classes in Lyle for 12 years.
She liked her work and looked upon it as a pleasure rather than responsibility.
Mrs. Cox was well known in this vicinity and will be missed by everyone.
The surviving members besides her husband, are two sisters,
Mrs. J.H. Graham, of Seaside, Oregon, and Mrs. Roy Lymburner, of Osage, Minn.;
four brothers, Frank Masson on Monroe, Ore.; Chas. Masson of Portland; James
and Robert Masson of Gueph, Ontario; besides a large number of nieces and
nephews.
She passed away at 7 a.m. Monday morning, March 23. Funeral
services were conducted by Rev. Stark, pastor of the Lyle Community church,
Wednesday, March 25 at 2 p.m. Interment was in the Lyle cemetery.

children of her own, there is many a child who will remember her as long
as they live as their teacher in the Sunday school when they were children,
and she tried to live the life that she taught them, was the way and the
light.

Cox, sisters, Jean Graham, of Seaside, Ore., Barbara Lymburner of Osage,
Minn. Brothers, Frank Masson, Monroe, Oregon, Chas. Masson, Portland, Ore.,
