Clayton Cox to the Great Beyond
Clayton Cox, one of Minot's most highly respected citizens passed away this morning from a lingering illness from heart trouble. Mr. Cox had been troubled with his heart off and on for a good many years, and of late, had been having serious trouble. Some months ago he was compelled to give up his position with the Minot mill, and went west where his son Charles lives, where he soon grew better, and returned to Minot a few weeks ago looking better and stronger than he had for many years. He again entered the mill, but soon was taken with another spell, which proved to be his last. For weeks he had been under the care of a trained nurse and doctors had given him more than the ordinary attention. Death came peacefully.
The funeral arrangements have not been completed at this writing, but the funeral will probably be held on Sunday, and will likely be conducted by the Masonic lodge, of which order he was a member for many years.
The deceased leaves a wife, and two sons, Charlie from the state of Washington, and Harry, who is employed in this city. He also leaves one daughter, Leota.
Mr. Cox had been a resident of Minot for about eight years, coming here from Harvey, when the Minot Flour mill was erected. He had been a miller for many years, at one time managing a mill in Warren, Ill. He was about fifty years of age. Mr. Cox was a fine man, kind to everybody, and Minot loses one of her very best citizens. The Independent extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved ones.
