Portland Observer, 25 Jan 1934

Death Takes Companion of 63 Years.

Mrs. William Hecox Died Sunday Morning After Illness Of Several Years.

Husband and One Son Jno. B. Hecox Survive

Born In Ohio But Had Lived In This Community Three Quarters Of A Century.

Mrs. William Hecox, 85 years of age last October, died at her home in the east 
part of the village Sunday morning following an illness that had kept her 
confined to the house for several years.  Funeral services were held at the 
Neller funeral home Tuesday afternoon in charge of Rev. John H. Stewart.  
Burial was made in Portland cemetery.

Mrs. Hecox’s maiden name was Mary Dunham.  She was born in a small town in 
Ohio, October 16, 1848.  When a small girl she came to Michigan with her 
parents, the family settling in Roxand township, Eaton county.  Sixty-three 
years ago the 31st of last December she was united in marriage to William 
Hecox, the couple celebrating the golden anniversary of that union 13 years 
ago.  Although illness kept her confined to her home during the past several 
years she was always of a cheerful disposition despite that handicap and was 
devotedly cared for by her husband and son, Postmaster John B. Hecox, who 
survive her.

Mrs. Hecox was a woman who invested her life in the worthwhile things.  She 
invested it in her home, which was the place she primarily loved.  The general 
affection for her and the appreciation of her fine character were manifested in 
the large number of friends who gathered with members of the family at the 
Neller funeral home Tuesday afternoon for her funeral services.

Those who acted as pallbearers and bore her body to its last resting place were 
James Plumb, O. O. Barton, John Barton, Fred England, Chester Banchard and Dr. 
W. H. McBride.
