Obituary of James H. Cox.

JAMES H. COX.

James H. Cox, son of David F. and Elizabeth Cox, was born on a farm near Plainfield, in Hendricks county, Indiana, February 11, 1833. He departed from this life on April 2, 1911. His age was 78 years, 1 month and 21 days. He was married to Elizabeth L. Campbell, of Plainfield, on October 3, 1855. To this union five children were born, Mrs. Ella Elizabeth Hornaday, Mrs. Mary C. Dexter, Edgar L., George G. and Zimri Anson Cox. Mr. and Ms. Cox moved to Illinois in 1857, where they engaged in farming. In March, 1864, they returned to Hendricks county, Indiana, on the farm entered from the government by his father. On becember 14, 1891, he came to Rensselaer and entered into the feed and coal business. About seven years ago fie sold this business to A. L. Branch and bought the news stand. After four years he sold this and retired from active business. In March, 1863, he heard his country’s calk - and enlisted in the train service of the U. S. army, but after six months service, because of ill health, he received an honorable discharge. Mr. Cox was for forty-four years an active member of the Christian church, uniting with it while at Plainfield, Indiana. After coming to Rensselaer he was chosen elder in the Christian church, which office he held at the time of his death. Mr. Cox was not only greatly beloved by the members of the church, but by all who knew him. His profession was not nominal, but as opportunity offered he exemplified the Christian doctrine. He will be remembered for his honesty, industry and conscienciousness. He would suffer wrong rather than retaliate. As a father he will be remembered by his children as kind and provident, even to indulgence. Mr. Cox possessed a strong mind. If he had chosen a professional life, no doubt he would have achieved great success. The church will remember him for his faithfulness in attendance and for his firm convictions in and loyalty to the simple doctrines of the New Testament church. During his sickness, which covered a period of almost three years, he took great pleasure in recounting the experiences of former days. He remembered the pioneer preachers and their sermons. Hope shone for him as a bright star and lured him on towards the goal of hip ambition. His sickness began with a breaking down of his nervous system. Light attacks of paralysis were followed at Intervals -by still heavier ones, until on Wednesday night, March 29th, the death dealing stroke came, from which he never regained conciousness, but growing weaker each day until on Sunday night at eleven forty he ceased breathing and without a struggle his soul took’ its flight from the enfeebled and worn out body to the God who gave it Mr. Cox leaves to mourn hla departure a widow, five children, >! e brother, one half-brother, seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and a host of friends. The funeral services were held at the Christian church and conducted by the pastor, G. H. Clarke, who was assisted by J. L. Brady. The body was laid to rest in Weston cemetery. Buy your Blaster tailor made suit now and have it delivered to you later, as we carry the largest and best assortment of ltt yard length samples in town. A perfect fit guaranteed. C. EARL DUVALL.

Joe Ellis Is Not Looking For a Housekeeper, By Jinks.

Joe Ellis Is a widower, but he is not looking for a housekeeper, so he says, and we believe he ought to know, Sherm Richards thinks he ought to have one or that is what Joe says, and again it seems that Joe knows what he is talking about. Sunday Joe whs called over to Sherm’s house and told that at the other end of the telephone line was a woman who wanted to get a home for herself and her little boy. Joe talked. The woman said she was at Shelby, but would come to Rensselaer on the milk train and start work. Joe said all right apd she came.

Joe did not meet her at the station and was not even at home. He had gone over to John Carmichael’s with his phonograph. The woman went to Sherm Richards’, house. Joe refused to negotiate for her services and refused to keep her overnight or to pay her railroad fare back to Shelby. He said he was just kidding about the housekeeper proposition and thought Sherm was kidding also. The disappointed woman went back to Shelby Monday morning. She thought she had not been treated right. Sherm says Joe treated her mean and Joe says Sherm was never commissioned to select a housekeeper for him. Joe says his eyesight is good and that he can find a housekeeper if he wants one, but at present he is not in the market. Sherm thinks it was a “dirty trick” to bring the woman here from Shelby and then not give her a night’s lodging. She was taken care of at the Richards home.
