PROF. W. M. A. BLOXTON SUCCUMBS AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Professor William Moncure Ashby Bloxton, formerly professor of English and German at the William and Mary Academy, died at his home on the night of Jan. 22 (1917) after suffering from paralysis lasting a year.
In 1911, after receiving his B. A. degree at William and Mary College, he became professor of English and German in the Academy, which position he resigned about a year ago on account of failing health. Being affected with paralysis due to a tumor on the brain, Prof. Bloxton was taken to the most eminent specialists in the country for treatment. Receiving temporary benefit, he returned home and then spent some time in the John Hopkins Hospital. Finding it impossible to get relief, he came home to spend the remaining months with his family.
For a time his condition remained unchanged while a few days prior to his death when his condition became alarming, and the physician and relations were summoned to his bedside to await the end.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. D. Thomas at the Presbyterian church. The remains were taken to Suffolk, where the burial service took place.
Prof. Bloxton was born in York County, March 12, 1879, and was in the prime of life when stricken with paralysis. He was the son of the late William Bloxton. He was a man of large usefulness to the college, the community, and the state. Born and bred on the farm, in his early days he earned his bread by the sweat of the brow. He also worked on the railroad, and it is said that when a small boy he pulled the throttle on the first engine to run over the peninsula division of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. While at college he was not only a good student but was busy in college activities. He was editor-in-chief of the College Annual in 1911, which was one of the most ably edited annuals ever turned out by the college.
On October 4, 1913, Prof. Bloxton was happily married to Miss Adelaide Everett, of Driver, Va., and to the union was born two children, Elizabeth and Nellie Stuart. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by one brother, Stamper Bloxton, of Harrisonburg, Va.
