The funeral of Timothy Fox was held at St. Johns church at Hubbardston, July 
17.  Mr. Fox died at Prescott, Arizona, where he went in the hope of regaining 
his health.  The remains were accompanied home on the long journey by his son, 
James.  The mass was said by the Rev. Father Doyle, assisted by the Rev. Father 
Staubinger C. SS. R.

The church was crowded to the doors with sympathizing and sorrowing friends.  
The appropriate words of his pastor applied most fittingly to the deceased as 
those who knew him best realized, the community had lost a kind, gentle and an 
honest gentleman.  The pall bearers were his five sons, John, Thomas, James, 
Leo, Louis and his nephew, William.  His son, Leo of the National army coming 
home from Fort Newark, N. J.  Mr. Fox spent practically all his life in Ionia 
county moving here at the age of two years.  His first wife who was formerly 
Miss Mary O’Meara, died in 1900 leaving six children,  a daughter, Miss 
Catherine and the above mentioned five sons.  He also leaves to mourn him his 
wife, formerly Miss Lucy Hichey, to whom he was married in 1907 and four 
brothers, John, Michael, James and Patrick.  Mr. Fox had four sons called to 
the draft, only one however as yet being called into service.  He was a man of 
quiet demeanor who greatly loved his home and family and in a last message to 
his soldier son wrote, “We are many miles apart, but will soon meet again.”
