MEMORIAL SERVICES
Immediately after the return of the funeral procession from the cemetery Thursday afternoon, the numerous friends of the late Dr. Cox assembled at St. Thomas (Episcopal) church, in an informal way, to express their high appreciation of the character and life-work of the deceased. The meeting was opened by a solo, "Nearer, My God, to Thee, " which was sung in a most effective and touching manner by Miss Louise Skinner, accompanied by Prof. Abel, of Detroit, on the organ.
Rev. Dr. Sidney Corbett then made some very appropriate remarks eulogistic of the deceased, and was followed by George Willard and Judge B. F. Graves, of this city, Dr. O. C. Comstock"of Marshall, Prof. A. B. Palmer, of Ann Arbor, Dr. Ranney of Lansing, Dr. Johnson of Grand Rapids, Dr.
Milton Chase of Otsego, and Dr. Leartus Conner, editor of the Detroit Lancet,
The addresses, given as they were by warm personal friends of Dr. Cox, all took the character of affectionate tributes to his memory, and gave expression to the very great esteem and regard which his admirable career as a citizen and as a physician has deservedly called forth in the community in which he had so long lived, as also throughout the State.
The speakers from abroad who took part in this expression are among the leading representatives of their profession, and according to testimony borne by them to the high standing of the deceased, and to the estimation in which his professional qualifications and attainments were held by the members of his own fraternity, were exceedingly gratifying, as they were felt by all to be sincere, and to be no more than just.
