Read More	Passed away suddenly Monday Afternoon, July 5, 1926 Mrs. Willie Brooks, residing a short distance outside the New Market corporation, passed away about five o'clock Monday afternoon from typhoid fever. The end came suddenly and unexpectedly, but a weakened heart caused by a long siege of ill health gave way when the typhoid attack came. Her condition was not considered serious, even by those in charge of her care and her sudden death has caused extreme sorrow among her large circle of friends and acquaintances. Mimalee Cox, the eldest daughter of William A. and Effie Downey Cox was born in Greene County, Tenn., August 29, 1900, and departed this life at her home near New Market, July 5, 1926 at the age of 25 years, 10 months and 6 days. Mimalee came with her parents to Page County, Iowa in 1902 where she made her home until her marriage to Willie Ralph Brooks, Sept. 18, 1920, since which time she has made her home near New Market until her untimely decease. To this union was born four children, Helen Maxine and Gladys Jean surviving and two infants having preceded their mother to the spirit land. She was a member of the Christian Church of New Market. She leaves to mourn her departure her husband, Willie R. Brooks, two daughters, Helen Maxine and Gladys Jean, her father and mother of Bedford, Iowa; four sisters, Mrs. Richard Wallace of New Market, Audrey, Grace and Dorothy; and four brothers, Clifford of Clarinda, Ober, Kenneth and Max, all with their parents, besides other relatives and a host of friends. She was a patient sufferer for the more than eight weeks of her illness, typhoid breaking the weakened heart. The end came unexpectedly and without warning. Mrs. Brooks was characteristically kind and helpful in the home and especially so in the neighborhood. She was alway industrious and cheerful and a good manager. "No single virtue we could most commend, whether the wife, the mother, or the friend; For she was all in that supreme degree that as no one prevailed so all was she, the several parts lay hidden in the piece, the occasion exerted that or this." -- Dryden. The funeral was held from the Baptist church Wednesday, July 7 at 2:00 o'clock p.m. with Rev. M.L. Dewey, pastor of the Baptist church officiating. Interment was made at Memory cemetery. Card of Thanks We desire to express our gratitude to the many friends who so kindly assisted during the illness of our loved one and through the bereavement. And for the abundance of beautiful flowers. We also especially thank those who furnish the balm and beauty of the music. Willie R. Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Cox and Family, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wallace, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Cox
