CHARLES A. COX
Grocer Here Victim Of Monoxide Gas Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning took the life Thursday afternoon of
Charles A. Cox, 45, proprietor of the Wisconsin Grocery, 915
Park street, whose body was found in his garage, 1016 South
Fourteenth street, shortly after 5 pm yesterday by Max Auman.
Dr. Max Staehle, who was called to the garage by Mr. Auman,
said it was too late to attempt the use of a pulmoter. Cox
had been dead for some time when found. The doors of the
garage were closed and the engine of the Cox automobile was
running when Auman came to the garage about 5pm. Cox was
laying half on the floor of the garage and half on the car.
The body was face down with the feet on the floor and the
upper portion of the body in the front part of the car, as
if Mr. Cox was attempting to enter the machine when he was
overcome. Tools were on the running board, indicating that
Mr. Cox was working on the machine when he was overcome.
Filled With Gas.
The garage was filled with the carbon monoxide fumes Mr. Auman
said. He opened the doors wide and then carried the body of Mr.
Cox outside, summoning the police department and Dr. Staehle.
Mr. Cox had entered the garage about 3pm, it was reported.
Although he kept his car in the garage owned by Auman, he made
his home at 1315 Washington street. Mr. Cox had been a resident
of Manitowoc for ten years. He has been in the grocery business
since he was a young man, save for a short time when he was
employed by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Corporation.
Born in Illinois.
Mr. Cox became a member of the Lions club two weeks ago. He was
a member of the Presbyterian church. The body will lie in state
Saturday until 9pm at the Wattawa Chapel. The body will be
removed to the residence, 1315 Washington street, Sunday afternoon.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 pm Monday at the First
Presbyterian church with the Rev. M.S. Weber officiating. Burial
will take place at Evergreen cemetery.
