ŒNONE COX (1918 - 2014)

Œnone died on 18 September 2014, about a month after her 96^th birthday.  Born at Trehunsey Farm near Mawnan Smith in Cornwall, daughter of Lucy Houseman and Percy Horton, she was the last, and youngest, of her generation, her parents then being in their mid 40s.

I was unable to go to her funeral but I hear that there were about 30 family members present and Dawn has sent me a copy of the marvellous Tribute written by Œnone’s daughter Cindy. Anyone who would like to receive a copy is welcome to ask me or Dawn.

Œnone was much loved by everyone. I used to meet her and her brother Ormonde when I was a youngster and later at the house of my mother Lucy in Northamptonshire and finally in Cornwall in 1998.  It was a delight to receive, until quite recently, her long and interesting letters, full of family information.

She will be missed, and remembered, by many of us for the rest of our own lives.

Lamorna's birthday

Many family members attended Lamorna’s most enjoyable 80^th birthday party on 7th June held at two pubs near Winchester. Her son Mark wrote, “I've hired for Mum's trip from the Flower Pot's pub to Milbury's a splendid horse and carriage!

 Perhaps I’ll expand on this much delayed brief note. Meanwhile it is well worth visiting http://www.soapboxsolutions.co.uk/80thbirthday/7june2014.html
