CALHOUN COUNTY MICHIGAN CALHOUN COUNTY
During his long. and painful illness the suffering endured in the sick-room was alleviated by the constant and skillful attention of his brother-in-law, Dr. S. S. French, and other physicians whose confidence he had enjoyed, and with whom he had consulted for many years.
In closing this notice of a citizen so distinguished and widely known, there is scarce need that we Should endeavor to present any summary of his qualities. Dr. Cox possessed strong and bold traits of character. Of quick and broad intelligence, positive convictions, great readiness of resources and alertness in action, he was born to make a mark in whatever community he might live. Among the people of Battle Creek he had long been a familiar personage, being virtually a stranger to none.
With a heart as tender as that of a child, he was devotedly attached to children, and they returned the attachment in large measure, so that he will be missed by the members of the rising generation, almost as much as by those
who have known, honored, and loved him for more than a generation now past. His long and useful life in our midst is in itself an imperishable monument to his memory.
THE FUNERAL
The funeral obsequies of the late Dr. Edward Cox took place at three o'clock Thursday, September 21, 1882, from the family residence on West Main street, the Rev. Dr. Corbett officiating.
