Kathryn Frazier, daughter of Canaan and Lizzie Frazier, was born in Kentucky June 9, 1837 and departed this life March 25, 1913 being at the time of her death 76 years 9 months old. She was the oldest child of 9, six sons and 3 daughters. At the age of 15 she was married to Abner Cox of the same place. To this union was born 14 children, 8 having preceded her with their father to the great beyond.
With her husband's family she came to Indiana and settled in Hendricks and Putnam Counties and has lived the remainder of her life near this city.
In 1873 she joined the Methodist Church at Putnamville and has lived a true and faithful Christian life always willing and ready to help those who needed her. In 1891, her husband died and she was left with her family of children to fight the battles of life. She was a dutiful wife, a loving sister and an affectionate mother. Her heart was in her home and always had a cheery smile or hearty welcome for those who daily sought her door. To know her was to love her.
Although our hearts are broken, and our eyes are dim with tears, we would not wish to call her back. Yes, there is another missing link in our home, which never can be filled, Aunt Hattie, as she was familiarly known, is not dead but sleeping. Her trials and sufferings are o'er and she has answered the call of our Heavenly Father, which we all have to answer. Although she is gone, we will not forget her, but prepare our lives so as to meet her on that glad meeting day.
She leaves to mourn her departure, four sons, two daughters; also three brothers and two sisters and a host of relatives and friends. Her sons are: John; James; Henry and Charles with whom she made her home; Mrs. Cordelia Rockhill and Mrs. Eva Sears. Her brothers are: Thomas Frazier; Nelson Frazier of Brazil and Ellick Frazier of near Fern. The funeral took place Friday at 11 o'clock at the home of her son, John; burial was in Pleasant Hill Cemetery --- transcribed by kbz
