Clark County Courier   7 March, 1924
Clark County Courier- Kahoka, Clark County Missouri March 7 1924
In the Alexandria news column:
Mark Hecox passed away at his home Thursday afternoon of acute indigestion 
which developed into apoplexy. He was only ill a few hours. The funeral was 
held Sunday at 3 p.m. Interment at Wayland Monday morning. Our sympathy goes 
out to aged wife and children.

In the same paper was his obituary:
HECOX
Mark Webster Hecox, son of Sylvenus and Mary Hecox, was born in Mendon, Ill, 
Jan 20, 1854, and departed this life Feb. 28, 1924, at the age of 70 years, 1 
month and 8 days. He was united in marriage to Susan Catherine Goode in March 
1881, at Alexandria, Mo. To this union God blessed six children, four of whom 
survive their father. His wife preceded him in death Sept. 27, 1900. He was a 
member of the Christian church when a young man and later in life united with 
the Methodist church, and was steadfast in the faith unto the end and died a 
victorious death in Christ and is now at rest.
On August 17, 1922, he married Miss Elnora Norton, who survives her devoted 
husband. Those who are left to mourn their loss of a devoted husband and 
faithful father, are his bereaved wife, three daughters, Mrs. Henry Woods, 
Mrs. Virginia Glennon and Mrs. Oscar Flinn, all of St. Louis, Mo., and one 
son, Ira O. Hecox of Funk, Neb., nine grandchildren and two great 
grandchildren, also one sister, Mrs. Frank Elick of LaBelle, Mo. He was a good 
man, devoted to his home, a Christian gentleman and a good neighbor. His work 
is done. Let us remember his virtues. The funeral service was conducted at the 
Presbyterian church at Alexandria. Interment was made at the Frazee cemetery.

Alexandria column:
Bessie Woods, Virgie Glennon, Elsie Flinn of St. Louis, attended their 
father's funeral at Alexandria Sunday.

Mark W. Hecox was born Jan.20, 1854 and died Feb. 29,1924, being 70 years, 1 
month and 9 days of age. He was well two days before his death mingling with 
friends and dying very suddenly with apoplexy. He had three married daughters 
living in St. Louis, Bessie Woods, Virgie Glennon and Elsie Flinn. They were 
all at the funeral. One son, E. Hecox in Nebraska. His funeral was held at the 
Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon by Rev. Lehmann. He done credit to the 
profession and himself by delivering a masterly address showing search for 
much needed historical devine law and appreciated by the audience. He had a 
good subject before him and surely done credit in an able address. He was 
taken to Wayland on the Sunday Evening train and buried from Kircher's 
undertaking parlors Monday morning in  the Frazee cemetery beside his first 
wife.
