S/O GEORGE KING & JANE (LANSLEY) COX
Former Old Resident Buried in "Fairview"
Harry Cox Came to this Community With Family in 1870--Funeral Monday.
Relatives of Goff received word Friday of the death of Harry Cox at his home at 428 State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, after an illness of several years. Mrs. Amy Massey of near Woodlawn is a daughter, Mrs. Ada Mahler, F.J. and A.A. Cox of Goff are sister and brothers. Besides the relatives, Mr. Cox had many friends in this community who join with the family in respect to his memory.
Harry Cox was the youngest of the four living children when they came to this community in 1870. He was five years of age and was born in London, England, in 1865. The father first came to America in 1868 and homesteaded the farm a mile east of Bancroft, where the Chas. Perry family live, and which is owned by F.J. Cox of Goff. The family joined the father two years later. Here the other children were born and the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. When a young man he went to Riley county near Leonardville and there met and married Fannie Elizabeth Cox, who survives, together with three daughters, Mrs. Alice Carr, Bethel, Kansas; Mrs. Amy Massey, Goff; Mrs. Rosa Ada Rosine, Kansas City; and three sons, Harry Jr., of the home in Kansas City and Raymond and Charles of Bethel. There are also two other brothers, Charley of Kansas City and George of Atchison, besides many other relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Cox farmed in Riley county for a time, then returned to Nemaha county and farmed the old Fred Schumaker place west of Bancroft for a time. Later they farmed the place west of Goff where the Jesse Longacre family live. More than a third of a century ago Mr. Cox gave up farming and started to work on the section of the old Kansas City Northwestern as a hand. He later served as foreman at Kelly and Seneca and was later promoted to yard master of the K.C.N.W. in Kansas City, Kansas. He later resigned that position and was appointed general track foreman for the old Metropolitan street railway system (later the Public Service Co.) in Kansas City, Kansas. He held this job until the infirmities of age compelled his retirement.
Funeral services were held at the home of the daughter at Bethel, Kansas, Monday morning at 8 o'clock and the body was brought to Goff to be laid to rest beside the son and daughter, who had preceded him in death. Many relatives from Kansas City and Atchison and this community accompanied the body to its final resting place. Members of the Eagles lodge of Kansas City also accompanied the funeral cortege. Mr. Cox was also a member of the old Seneca Odd Fellow lodge, now combined with the Oneida lodge. Published in the "Goff" Newspaper.
