Elijah Cox, age 76 years, was found dead in his room over the First National Bank here this afternoon about 12:30 o'clock by his son, Warren Cox. The man appeared to have been dead for about an hour.

At, non, when the son took his dinner to his room, he found his father lying across his bed, with a pool of blood near his head.
Undertaker Gibson who examined his body soon after it was found, stated that the man had been dead only a short time, possibly an hour. The body was taken to the home of his son, Warren Cox, well known local barber, on South Grand Avenue, and the funeral will be held at the residence Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock with Rev. E. A. Wesson officiating. S. W. Gibson has charge of funeral arrangements.
The funeral of Elijah Cox, age 74, who died suddenly in his room over the First National Bank Monday at noon, was held this morning at 10 o'clock at the home of his son, Warren Cox on South Grand Avenue.
Mr. Cox was born on March 21, 1848 in Indiana. He came to Gainesville about 30 days ago from Rogers, Arkansas where he has been residing the past eight years. He is survived only by his son and one grandson, Levis Cox. He was a primitive Baptist in his church affiliation.
Following the ceremony, the remains were interred in Fairview cemetery.
