DEATH OF MARTIN COX
Still another name has been added to the long list of the aged men of Sussex who have passed away during the year that has just closed. Martin Cox, whose death is recorded under the appropriate head, was born in Wantage Township, May 10, 1785, and was consequently in his 89th year at the time of his death. He had always resided in Sussex County and for many years on his farm just outside of the town of Newton. He was the representative of a long lived family which only a few years since contained four members over 80 years of age. His mother, who died only a few years since lived to see her great great grandchildren. Mr. Cox was a man widely known and highly esteemed. He belonged to that old fashioned, sturdy race of men who were not ashamed of honest toil. A man of his industrious and frugal habits was naturally a Democrat, the opposite of an aristocrat, and next to his attention to family and business was his devotion to the old time-honored party whose patron was Jefferson, for whom he voted. And under the benign influence of whose principles he lived so many years to see his country grow and prosper. He was buried on Friday last in Newton and his funeral was attended by a large company of relatives and friends.
