FLOYD M. COX

Prophetstown - Floyd M. Cox passed away on Sunday about noon after an illness of more than four years. He had been confined in his bed since last June, his trouble being tuberculosis.

Mrs. Cox was forty-two years of age. He was quite religious and for a number of years was affiliated with the Salvation Army, being captain in the organization. He was much revered in the Leon neighborhood which has been his home for a great many years.

The funeral was held Tuesday at the Leon church and was largely attended by a host of his neighbors and friends.

The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Winter, pastor of the Leon church, who paid Mr. Cox a very fine tribute. Burial was made in the Leon cemetery where his mother was laid to rest several years ago.
