GEORGE COX Drops Dead

Expires While Talking With Friends in Court House
Yard. Was An Early Settler

George Cox, a pioneer of Madison county and well known throughout the county, dropped dead in the court house yard on Monday afternoon while talking to Dr. W. H. Thompson and W. P. Rhyno. He was one of the strongest men in the county, had never been seriously ill and his sudden death was a profound shock to the entire community. A short time prior to his death, someone attempted to lift one of the iron sections of the new flag pole, but could not move it. Cox, who was among the onlookers, took hold of the heavy pipe and raised it without apparent effort. Fifteen minutes later he fell dead and it is thought that the exertion may have caused the rupture of a blood vessel.

Like his father, Eli Cox, he had a great liking for mechanics and tools, and early learned skilled carpenter work from his father. When but 18, he assisted in the operation of his father's sawmill, which was the only one in the North River neighborhood. Both father and son were bridge builders in Madison county, the one erecting a number of the early bridges, the son acting as bridge foreman for the bridge force in 1894 and 1909.

Mr. Cox lived in Union township for many years, but preferred to leave the greater part of the labor of farming to others, while he worked along structural lines and as a contractor. For the past nine years he has lived in Winterset. Besides Mrs. Cox, six children survive.

Family/Spouse: Rebecca Hannah MILLS. Rebecca (daughter of Enos MILLS and Elizabeth BALDWIN) was born on 02 Oct 1855 in Madison County, Iowa; died on 27 Oct 1931 in Des Moines, Polk County, Iowa; was buried in North McDonald Cemetery, Winterset, Madison County, Iowa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

In Loving Memory of Lizzie Sole.

"O death! Where is they sting? O grave! Where is thy victory?"

Lizzie, daughter of Robert and Ruth Sole, died March 26, 1890, aged 17 years, 9 months and 28 days. On Wednesday morning at the break of day, the enemy, Death, entered the home and took from their embrace the dear daughter and sister they loved so well. Pleasant memories of her arise, who has passed beyond the river to the heavenly home possible for us all through Divine redemption. Her friends have the consoling assurance that her life, though so brief, was a very happy one.

Her removal from this world into the spirit world, was sudden, heart failure being the cause. On Tuesday night she and her sister Clara retired as usual. She seemingly was in perfect health. But e'er the sun had risen she was called to go. She was taken away without a moment's warning, in the bloom of youth and beauty. No more shall we hear her mingle her voice in the songs she loved to sing at our Sunday school and church. But she is singing now with the angels, far more beautiful and nobler songs, than these, within the heavenly gates above. At the gate that has been left ajar there is one beckoning the bereaved parents, brothers and sisters to the same happy home, to walk in the beautiful light of God.
