Cox Died This Morning At His Home In This City of Bright's Disease. 73 Years of age Baptist Pastor Preaches Funeral Sermon; Odd Fellows Conduct Burial Ceremony. This mornign at 9 o'clock H.D. Cox, died of Bright's disease at his home in this city. Mr. Cox was born on October 15, 1843 in the state of Illinois. He resided there during his young manhood, after which he moved west, meeting and marrying Miss Delhia Phillips August 19, 1860. To this union there were born six children, Don J., Jennie, Albert, Ira, Tony and John D. Two of these, Don and Jennie , survive the death of their father. Mr. Cox had eight grand children and two great-grand children living. Two of the grand children, Mrs. Maude Ingram of Amarillo, Texas and Mrs. Gussie Reifscheider of Jacksonville, Florida, were at his bedside at the time of his death. He was among those that made the run to this county during the Cheyenne and Arapaho opening. In fact, his wife was the first white woman to see the present site of the town of Cheyenne. Mr. Cox was successful in securing a good farm near Redmoion, besides several choice town lots in this city. Since that time he has engaged in divers business pursuits, in all of which he has prospered and made friends. His death created sadness in the hearts of all those that knew him and his absence will be noted and mourned only as are those, every day of whose lives is of benefit to the community in which they reside, and whose acts of kindness and generosity serve to lighten the burden some unfortuante bears. He never refused to donate liberally to the just cause or deserving person; he was not the man to regard his own preferences, or even his prosperity, above the welfare of he community. It can be truthfully said that without such constituents as "Daddy" Cox our town would not have surmounted the obstacles in its development that hasd arisen in its path, and this city has, indeed, suffered an inmense loss in his demise. He was among the first members of the Baptist church at this place and it was largely through his contributions that church was enabled to erect the building that they now occupy. His friends may find condolement for their grief in the fact, that while on the sick-bed of this his last illness in presenstion with the pastor in relation to religious subject he expressed a hope of spending eternity with the Saviour, and told the preacher to "Meet him up there" pointing toward the sky. Inlimitable space could be used in extolling the deceased, then all of his virtues would not have been fully treated. But it can be truthfully saids of him that he "fought a good fight." which is the best commendation that can be given any person. The members of the Odd Fellows lodge took charge of the body and conducted it the Baptist church where the funeral services were held. The remains were then taken to the Cheyennecemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma where the body was lowered into the grave and the ceremonies of the order were held, thus paying a tribute of respect to a departed brother.
