Note:  Writings for Will COX appeared in both the July 30, 1891, and the August 
6, 1891 issues.  Source information appears after each item. 


from "Elkader" news on the local news page: 

This community was greatly shocked last Saturday by hearing the sad news of the 
death of Will COX, who was kicked by a horse the Thursday before.  The horse 
that kicked him was not vicious, but was considered gentle and was a  pet.  Mr. 
COX was in Mr. DEMPSEY's barn talking with the other men, when the horse 
without warning kicked at, it is supposed, another horse and both hoofs struck 
Will just back of the ear, crushing in his skull.  He was taken into Mr. 
DEMPSEY's and everything done for him that could be.  He was  respected and 
well liked by all who knew him.  He leaves a father, mother and five sisters to 
mourn his loss, he being the only son.  The remains were taken to Oakley 
Saturday night to be taken to Atchison for burial.   His mother, father and two 
sisters here accompanied them, while Misses Mary and Martha, who were at Kansas 
City, intended to meet them at Atchison.

IN MEMORY OF WM. H. COX.
(By a Friend.)

Asleep in Jesus, oh how sweet!
To be for such a slumber meet,
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost its venomous sting. 

Friendship and love have done their last
And now can do no more, 
The bitterness of death is past
And all thy suffering's o'er,

Peaceful be thy silent slumbers,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our numbers,
Thou no more our songs shall know. 

Dearest brother, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But 'tis God that hath bereft us, 
He can all our sorrows heal. 

Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
