He grew to quiet manhood under the protecting care of these Christian parents. He was a good, quiet, obedient child. At home and at school he gained the love and admiration of all with whom he associated. He was valedictorian of the graduating class from the Jacksboro High School in 1904. After his graduation he left the home he loved so well and took a course in the State University. But he never ceased to love his home and his parents, brothers and sisters. He always kept in touch with them, even though he never again made his home with them. He loved travel and the quiet unpretentious life he could lead while traveling. He had a sense of right and wrong, and never allowed public opinion to influence his decisions and actions. He never sought notoriety, but lived modestly in seclusion and yet he was great and was recognized by those who knew him as being a man of intellect and worth. When the United States became in need of his services he was ready to answer to the call of humanity. He became a lieutenant in the United States army. He was about to leave Camp Dodge, Iowa, for France when he died, 21 October 1918. His parents have lost a loving, obedient son; his two sisters and three brothers recognizing that the strongest of them had been taken.

Knox, wife of Mr. James W. Knox, who passed into eternity on Monday, 20 January 1919. Mrs. Knox was a native of Pennsylvania, descended from one of the old and prominent families of Pennsylvania. Born at Mauch Chunck, she was reared in the beautiful city of Bethlehem, where the family removed in her early childhood. She first visited Texas in the spring of 1877, as Miss Emma Lane Conner, stopping at Jacksboro, where her sister, Mrs. H.H. McConnell, then resided, in the olden days of frontier life and civilization, when this little village had but recently been abandoned as a United States Army Post. Here she formed the acquaintance with her future husband, which was consummated in their marriage, some two years later, at the family home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on 27 February 1879. Her married life, for a period of nearly 40 years was spent among the people of Jacksboro; a woman of rare attainments, queenly grace, and cultured manner, kind, gentle and generous in all the relations of life, considerate and always extremely thoughtful of the welfare and happiness of others, she attracted admiration so that “none knew her but to love her.” A member of the Presbyterian Church in Jacksboro, she was for many years one of its active and prominent workers. For many years, since the death of their mother, she and her sister Miss Alice Connor, had been constant and inseparable companions, and the constant thoughtful attention which characterized her life in other spheres was beautifully illustrated in the devotion to her only surviving sister, who thus shared in her home life, and who is now left to share with the bereaved husband, in mourning her loss. Miss Alice Connor is the last surviving member of her family, misses her most of all, and find the coming days the loneliest.

Mrs. Knox was a Pennsylvania by birth, but with her marriage to James W. Knox, Jacksboro, Texas, became her home. She loved her home and her friends as few women do, and especially was she strongly attached to her old friends. Her beautiful home was always open, and a welcome from her that was delightful and will always be remembered. Mrs. Knox had long been a member of the Presbyterian Church, and while she was not an active worker in Jacksboro’s church societies and the clubs organized to develop all the best interests of the town, she was a most enthusiastic and liberal patron of each of them. She was a woman who was loved best by those who knew her best, and her friends whom she loved will miss her more than words can express, and her husband, James W. Knox and sister, Miss Alice Connor.
