~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this county, on the 10th day of March, 1874, Dr. Joseph B. Fox, aged 73 years. After several months of a peaceful and gradual decline, with scarcely any symptoms of disease. The Doctor was a member of the M. E. church for 44 years - a consistent Christian - modest and unassuming, and yet by his purity of life and unostentatious charities, a very efficient worker in the church. His last words were "Precious Jesus". Dr. Fox emigrated to this city from Loudon county, Va., about 33 years ago, and has resided here, and on his farm on Sugar Creek, nearly ever since. He was a well educated physician, and a very successful practitioner-always as prompt to answer calls of the poor as the rich, for his professional services. Pub. in Illinois State Journal, Springfield, IL, 3-14-1874.
