Prominent Carpenter Tp., Farmer Buried Tuesday.

Geprge Fox, age 51 years, a prominent farmer of southwest Carpenter died last Sunday night at about 1 I o'clock from a stroke of apoplexy, and was buried at Goodland Tuesday afternoon, the funeral taking place at his- late residence. He leaves a wife, two sons, Charles and Harold, and one daughter, Edith. Mr. Fox was practically a life-time resident of Carpenter tp., and a well educated and up-to-date farmer. He was a son of Charles B. Fox, who retired from the farm more than 25 years ago and moved to Goodland, where he has since vesided. Mr. Fox and wife had returned Sunday evening from a visit with relatives at Frankfort, t and were met at Goodland by their children in the automobile. They took supper in town and started home about 8:30

o’clock, George driving the car. On the way home one of the sons who occupied the seat with his father noticed that something was wrong with the latter, and he seized the wheel to prevent the car going into the ditch. A hurried run was made to their home and a doctor was summoned, but medical skill was without avail, and he passeu away a few hours later. Mr. Fox was a Democrat politically and has occupied a place on the Democratic county ticket for county commisisoner and at another time for member of the county council. He has also been nominated for trustee of Carpenter tp. He was a mighty good man and liis early death is deeply deplored by all who knew him. ._w
