PIONEER PASSES AWAY
HENRY C. COX WAS THE OLDEST MAN
BORN IN INDIANAPOLIS.
He Made Only One Journey on n Rail-
road Train Owing Entire Life
Ferry Days.

Henry c. Cox, who died yesterday morn
ing at the age OF seventy-nine at the fam
lily residence. S31 English avenue, bore the
distinction of being the oldest man in In
dianapolis born within the territory now
occupied by the city. In many respects
he was an interesting character, possess
ing large fund OF "Reminiscences of pioneer
days in this city.
Mr.. Cox was born in log house which
stood on the west bank of White river,
near the place where the old wooden bridge
recently torn down was erected. His
father and mother came to the then viii
lage OF Indianapolis IN 1921, when there
were few houses and no such things as
bridges over White river. They kept the
ferry across the stream and Mr.. Cox, as
q boy. assisted his father in carrying trav-
elers across the river. He had many en-
tertaining stories OF those who passed
through on the old National road In the
thirties and forties and his memory re-
manned keen to his death.
Another unique distinction which Mr..
Cox possessed, IL distinction IL may be
called. was that OF having ridden but once
on a railroad train. Fifty years ago he
got on a train with some fear and uncer-
tatnty TO travel to Ohio. Only bridal
tour could have persuaded him that rail-
road trains were safe and necessary ad-
5uncts TO travel. He brought his wife
home with him and never again made a
railroad journey.
At the last old settlers meeting he had
the honor OF being the oldest man present
who was born within the present limits of
indianapolis.
Two children survive, Mrs. James Howe
and Charles Cox, both of whom live in this
city. \ sister, Ann Cox, died nine days
ago at an advanced age. She also was
born in little log cabin on the banks of
White river.
The funeral will be held at the residence
tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock.

CURED at the Empire yesterday afternoon
during the last matinee performance OF lr-
wins Majestic Burlesquers, the organiza-
ton that has brought the Empires season
to close. Miss Marie Barrison, one of the
leading vocalists with the company, and
who plays a leading feminine role in the
musical travesty which concludes the per-
Torrance, tainted as she finished the last
tones of her principal Song. While render
ing the ballad Miss harrison seemed i'll at
ease, her voice trembling as she gazed up
toward the gallery with wild expression
in her eyes. The audience, thinking that
she was attempting to introduce special ex-
preston into the familiar coon song"
which she was singing, hardly waited until
she had concluded the piece to burst into
rapturous applause.
AS the last high tone died away Miss
harrison staggered into one of the wings
and fell headlong to the floor. There was
great excitement behind the scenes for five
minutes, while the audience, still unaware
of what had taken place, insisted upon an
encore. One of the comedians of the show
finally came to the edge of the foothghts
and explained that the reason Miss Barri-
son did not acknowledge the demonstra-
tons OF approval was because of a sudden
illness that had seized her. The men and
boys in the gallery were not inclined to be-
lieve the statement at first and continued
In their hand-clapping and whstling for a
few moments more Miss Barrison was
placed on a sofa in a dressing room and
several of the chorus girls did everything
they could think of TO restore her to con-
seriousness a doctor was summoned, but
not for half an hour was the burlesque
performer able to open her eyes The en-
tertainment was shortened considerably,
the curtain being rung down a few mo-
ments after the collapse of Miss Barrison.
The actress has not been in good health
for some time and has had two or three
other fainting spells during the season. 1t
was thought last night that she would be
unable to continue her stage work until
she had enjoyed long rest.

from coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would
come on at night l would take a
dose and it seemed that in the brief
est interval the cough would pass

free from cough and it's accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted
as a most agreeable surprise is put
ting it mildly. | had no idea that it
would or could knock out the grip,
simply because l never tried it for
such a purpose, but it did, and it seem
