ERVIN BOWEN COX

Mr. Ervin Bowen Cox, aged 49, died at his home in Evansville Friday July
25, 1924, of paresis after an illness of seven weeks. Mr. Cox was born on a
farm at Magnolia October 31st, 1874, where he lived until 13 years ago,

go out of his way, if necessary to do a favor for a friend. He loved the
big out-of-doors and all animals were his friends.

afternoon, the Reverend Osgood of Brodhead officiating. The local lodges of
the Odd Fellows, Woodmen and Royal Neighbors of which the deceased was a
member, were in attendance, the Odd Fellows and Woodmen marching in the
funeral procession, the last sad rites at the grave being according to the
beautiful and impressive ritual of the Odd Fellow lodge.
