Marshall Knox Stricken Enroute To The Home Of Son

Marshall Taylor Knox was found dead in his pickup Wednesday morning about 1:45 
o'clock. Workers from Atchison found the body and reported it to George Osborn, 
who in turn notified Sheriff Lowmiller. The pickup with lights and ignition on 
and engine dead, was in the ditch but had not turned over and was undamaged. It 
was headed south and Mr. Knox was apparently returning from Weston to the home 
of his son, Willie Knox, East Leavenworth, where he had lived for the past 
three weeks.
Following a coroner's inquest and listening to the testimony of the 
pathologist, Dr. Graham Parker, Platte City, the jury reached a verdict of 
death from natural causes and that Mr. Knox had suffered a coronary occlusion.
Born March 20, 1886 in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, Mr. Knox came to Weston in 1911. 
He was a member of the First Baptist church and at the present time raised 
tobacco on the W.G. Turner place. His wife, the mother of his children, the 
former Miss Laura Bell Cline, died in 1939. His second wife, Mrs. Katie Knox, 
survives.
Other survivors are four sons: Louie and Hobart Knox, Wallace, Walter Knox, St. 
Joseph, and Willie Knox, East Leavenworth; four daughters, Mrs. William 
Goodlet, Mrs. Elmer Kottman, Weston, Mrs. Jasper Goodlet, Iatan and Mrs. Wilmer 
Sullen of East Leavenworth.
Funeral services will be at the Vaughn Chapel this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock 
with the Rev. H.A. McCanna in charge. Burial will be in Pleasant Ridge 
Cemetery. 
His pallbearers will be Gilbert Goodlet, Dan Corbin, Gilbert Nichols, Jack 
Rowland, Burl McClain and Olen Brownell.
