Wilcox, Annette (Sloan) 1858-1932
Morris Obituary
Mrs.
George R. Wilcox
Morris, Dec. 30---Mrs. George R. Wilcox died at
about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at her home on West Main
street after an illness of but a few hours' duration. Mrs. Wilcox,
although not in good health, had tenderly cared for her husband,
George Wilcox, who has been an invalid for a long time, nearly
helpless for over a year, and her passing seems doubly sad because of
the frail companion whom she leaves behind.
Annette (Sloan) Wilcox, daughter of the late Joshua
and Sarah Mosher Sloan, was born in Burlington May 4, 1858, where she
spent her entire girlhood. On November 21, 1882, she was united in
marriage to George B. Wilcox and for a number of years they resided
in South Hartwick. To them were born three children, Mrs. Earl
Southern of Oneonta, Mrs. Louis Card of Morris, and George Wilcox,
Jr. who died in 1913 at the age of 24.
About 40 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox came to
Morris to live and Mr. Wilcox began his long and faithful service of
36 years as mail carrier between Morris and Oneonta, retiring only
when poor health compelled him to cease actual work.
The deceased was a member of Zion Episcopal church
for many years, a past matron of Jewell chapter, Order of the Eastern
Star, and as long as her health permitted, she was active in the work
of both societies. However, her chief interest was in the home,
where as a devoted wife and a kind and indulgent mother, her memory
will be cherished.
The immediate surviving relatives are the husband and
two daughters previously mentioned, also six grandchildren and
numerous nephews and nieces, to all of whom the sincere sympathy of
the community is extended.
Private funeral services, conducted by Rev. E. E.
Hutchinson, rector of Zion Episcopal church, will be held from the
family home Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in
Hillington cemetery.
