Funeral Services for Mrs. George Wilcox, respected Perry woman who died at her home here Friday, were held Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian church. Interment was made in the Violet Hill cemetery.
The rites were in charge of the Rev. S.S. Stover of Jewell, assisted by the Rev. Earl V. Fisher, pastor of the local church. Music was furnished by a local quartette composed of Rev. and Mrs. Earl Fisher, Mrs. Ward McLuen and Edward Stoner. They sang: "Going Down the Valley" and "No Night There." Mrs. McLuen and Mrs. Fisher sang a duet, "Wispering Hope." They were accompanied by Miss Ivy Stoner.
Casket bearers were: Frank Wilcox, Chas. Wilcox, Ray Wilcox, Ward McLuen, Carl Elliott,and Clarence Lewellyn, all nephews of Mrs. Wilcox. The following obituary was read during the service:

Kate May Elliott, daughter of Francis Elliott and Lydia Ogburn, was born in Mahaska county, Iowa on May 23, 1864, and passed away at her home in Perry, Ia. on the morning of April 14, 1933, aged 68 years, 10 months, and 21 days.
When 6 years of age she came with her parents to the vicinity of Perry, and it was here that she grew to womanhood and where her life has been spent.
On Sept. 19, 1888, she was united in marriage to George Wilcox, who lives to mourn the loss of a true, faithful and devoted wife. To this union were born four children, three sons, Glenn, Roy, and Lee and one daughter, Beulah. Of these, the daughter alone is now living. In the month of March, 1919, a terrible tragedy came to the Wilcox family, when their three strong stalwart sons were all stricken with that awful scourge known as the flu, and all died within five days of each other, and all were buried together in one grave in Violet Hill cemetery. It was too much for the mother's heart and it broke her health completely and from that time she has never recovered. She has literally died of a broken heart.
Mrs. Wilcox was one of a family of 11 children, only one of whom survives, a brother, William S. Elliott of Des Moines. When 18 years of age she made public acknowledgment of her faith in Jesus Christ and became a member of the United Brethren church, and when she moved to Perry, transferred her membership to the First Presbyterian church of Perry, under the date of Aug. 4. 1920, of which church she has been a sincere and faithful member.
