Springs Valley Herald (April 29, 1937) Obituary
Mattie Luckett Sloan, daughter of David L. and Martha Jane Luckett, was born on a farm in Orange County, Indiana, May 8, 1873 and departed this life April 19, 1937 at the age of 63 years, 11 months and 11 days.
At an early age she moved to English and resided there until her marriage to Dr. W. W. Sloan in 1898, who preceded her in death and they immediately moved to French Lick where she spent the remainder of her life. To this union were born two children, Alta Marie and Lorena.
In early life she was converted and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and devoutedly lived and died in the faith. She did not endeavor to make loud professions, nor did she seek places of leadership, but she showed her love and loyalty to it in all practical ways. She never neglected her work for the church and took a vital interest in all of its activities especially the Ladies Aid Society. She served as president of that society for many years and was a most ardent member and active supporter to the end of her life.
She was a charter member of the Order of Eastern Star of French Lick and took an active interest in its affairs, both as a member and officer.
She loved and enjoyed her many friends and neighbors.
While her strength was going out her ambition never weakened. Very especially was she thoughtful and considerate of the needy and he desire to help others manifested itself as long as her strength was equal to the slightest task. Her life was one that was never lacking in effort for others. She did not seek a life ease, but constantly she did with her might whatsoever her hand found to do. Her greatest anxiety was for the welfare of her family. She was cheerful and courageous proving herself a true helpmate to dear deceased husband and a model mother to her children and the memory of their mother's gentle hands and loving heart will fall a blessed benediction upon them in the years that are to come.
Besides her daughters, Alta Marie Claxton of French Lick and Lorena Chastain of Orleans, there remains to mourn their loss one grandchild, Robert Claxton of French Lick, one sister, Mrs. James Chitwood of Portland, Ind., five brothers, William I. and Tilden N. Luckett of English, Dr. C. D. and John H. Luckett of Marengo, James L. Luckett of Corydon and a host of other relatives and friends.

Lloyd graduated from the French Lick High School in 1933 of which he was very proud. His greatest ambition was to live a clean moral life. He said: He had always prayed that he would be a good boy, love God, never drink or gamble and to love his fellowmen. He believed in an honor to the Father to do your best and look your best, and to do what he could to help others although it only be a small favor. He loved beauty of flowers and birds and all that went to make life beautiful. He believed in doing things right whatever his task might be and whether it be small or great with no thought of the effort put forth. How he love his boy friends, especially ones of Paoli. He often spoke of them and loved to be with them.
About two years ago, he was in an auto wreck with his cousin, Leon Snyder, who was driving the car. He never recovered from the injuries sustained, but continually grew worse. He has kept to his bed the last year and a half and could only lie on his right side the last six months.
Several months ago he confessed Christ as his personal Savior, united with the United Brethren Church and was baptized by the pastor of the church.
Through prayer, he was hopeful and encouraged. He said he was happy in the Lord and was soon going home to be with Jesus.
His loved ones, doctor, neighbors and friends are to be commended for their devotion and tender loving service. Lloyd was very appreciative for all that was done for him and thanked each one and asked them to meet him in Heaven.

Springs Valley Herald (July 22, 1937) Obituary
We look again today for refuge and for comfort to the God from whom all goodness is given. Today we revere the most sacred name, the name and the memory of mother. We laud her virtues, extol the motherly spirit of self sacrifice and eulogize her kindness. With bleeding hearts and bowed heads and generous hands we bring new wreaths of the fairest and the most fragrant flowers to lay upon the breast of Mother Earth in reverence and in respect to her memory. For until the stars are old and the sun grows cold, and the leaves of the judgment book unfold no one can ever know the full measure of the love and the service of this mother to her home, to her husband, her children; to her church, her neighbors and her friends. In these lines do we preface our tribute to Ollie Mae Cox.
She was the daughter of B. B. and Martha Owen, and was born near Cuzco, in Dubois County, Indiana April 20, 1890 and all her life has been spent in Dubois and Orange Counties, except three years, during which time she resided in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On May 3, 1910 she became the wife of William A. Cox and to them were born ten children, namely: Roy, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Clarence of Kankakee, Ill.; Mrs. Elsie Mae Kellams and Ethel Faye Cox of Kankakee, Ill.; these last two being twin sisters; Mrs. Ruby B. Dotson of Gary, Ind.; and Ruth E. Cox, now deceased, these two also being twin sisters; Ernest V, of Gary, Ind.; and H. Dale, Grace Marie and Bertha Louise, at home near Elon. With the bereaved husband and these nine children remaining there are also two grandchildren and many relatives who, today, mourn the passing of this mother who meant so much to them, and whose loss in the home can not be replaced.
In her youth she consecrated her life to the service of her Master, and united with the M. E. Church at Cuzco, later removing her membership and uniting with the Christian Church at Elon and here, ever after, she has served as she has been able to serve.
While her earthly sphere of travel may have been limited, yet in the services of her family, in the friendly mission with neighbors and with friends, in her ministrations to children who came to her home in the hospitality of the stranger who entered her doorway, in her love and her devotion to her church life, her sphere has extended farther then we can measure by the limitations of space, and has assured her, as is so beautifully recoded in the letter of Paul to the Romans, Chapter 8, verse 30, which reads:
"Neither high, nor death, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord."
The principle of this poem which reads, Sharing her cup and bit, with all mankind who need it, was truly a part of this mother's life. She served thus with the hope of the full confidence that a greater and an external reward awaited her beyond this vale of earthly tears and sorrow. And thus, on Tuesday, July 13, 1937, at the age of 47 years, 2 months and 23 days, she passed to that reward which she had so justly won, full of the glory and the honor that comes from such service to her God, and to the humanity with whom she came in contact.
After many months of pain and suffering by the disease which so racked her mortal body here on earth, she is now with Him who has said unto us, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, Enter thou in the joys of the Lord."
To the bereaved husband, children, parents, grandchildren, brother and sisters, may we say: "In His own appointed time. He will take you into the goodly company of this dear sainted Mother, the memory of whose cheerfulness, whose fortitude and whose abiding faith in her master's saving grace is ours to cherish and to emulate, may you live on in supreme confidence that Mother is now in the full enjoyment of everlasting happiness for we are told that, "We, according to His promise, look for a new Heaven and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." And there will be our Mother.
