Anna Adams-Cox
![]()
Anna Adams-Cox was the eldest daughter of G. W. Adams. She and her husband, William Cox, Jr., inherited the mansion when G. W. died in 1879. For many years the couple lived a happy and high lifestyle within the mansion. William was known for having lavish balls and parties and for spending lots of money. It seems that eventually the money ran out and that was that for William. He boarded a train to Columbus one morning and was never officially seen again. Anna was left heartbroken and alone with her child (the surviving George Cox) in the huge mansion.
As time went by many family heirlooms and even parts of the house itself (the copper of the roof) were sold off to make ends meet. Anna died in Prospect Place due to complications from a fall on the ice at the neighboring River Dale mansion. She died lonely and broken, never knowing the fate of her missing husband.
Anna still wanders the halls of the estate searching for the life and husband she once loved.
