Captain Thos. H. Cox, one of the
leading and most prominent citizens
of Springfield, No, died on the 2lst al
grand old age. We mention the
death OF Capt Cox, because be was a
great friend of the late hopored and
esteemed citizen of East Carroll, Dr.
VIM. McCulloch, aud also personally
known TO Mr. Jas s. Milikin. After
the war Mr. Cox gave large part Of
his time and money TOR the establish
ment of Soldiers Home and schools
where the homeless sons and daugh-
tiers of the soldiers of the South could
have home aud receive an education.
He kept this up for several years,
until the State took charge of these
institutions. II was this grand and
noble man who started the movement
of erecting monument over the
graves OF the Confederate soldiers
who sleep in the Springfield cemetery,
and which will be unveiled in August
next with ceremonies betting the &C.
caslon. Mr.. Cox spoke often of the
fear of not living to see his work
crowned with glory and success, and
expressed the wish and hope that he
would be spared until he saw the
monument erected aud unveiled to
perpetnate the valor and deeds of his
Confederate brothers. Such grand
life as Thos. HI. Cox, will live on for
ever, and some day, inthe near future,
may monument be erected TO his
memory telling of his many generous
and good deeds. May his soul rest in
peace.
