Timothy Colby Cox True To
Traditions of Family Re-
turns Soon From Serving
"OId Glory.
A LONG Line or SOLDIERS
t-Great- Grandfather Abner Bailey
Fights In Revolution Grandfathers
Served In Civil War and Grandson
Follows Flag In France.

Today at Camp Mills, New York,
Timothy Colby Cox, Kenosha soldier,
who has been serving in France for
nearly a year, received his honorable
discharge from the United States army
and ended up a family war record
which extends over three centuries and
dates back to revolutionary days. In
1776 his great-gr6at grandfather, Abner
Bailey, of the colony Of Rhode Island
heard the call of liberty; in 1861 his
paternal grandfather, Timothy Colby
Cox, ST., and his maternal grandfather,
Joseph Bienneman, both marched away
with the "'boys in blue and in 1917
this Kenosha soldier, though barely
eighteen years of age, proved true to
the traditions Of his family and vol
unteered to uphold the Dag his grand
sires had defended in previous wars.
The soldier IS mother, Mrs. Walter j.
Cox, 976 Ann street, received word
from her son this morning that he
would reach his home in Kenosha later
in the week. His honorable discharge
from the service will be filed away
with the military papers Of his grand
fathers, and of his great great-grand
father, all of which documents are the
property Of Mrs. Cox in Kenosha, to
preserve the story Of what this family
has done in the defense of the flag
1t is believed that the record is one
of the most remarkable military rec
ords Of any family in Wisconsin. The
papers now held by Mrs. Cox and
showing the record of Abner Bailey,
the neutrality-suspicious., who fought
in the first struggle Of America for
freedom, are copy of the discharge
from the service of the Continental
Army and other papers telling Of his
service. The patriot served under Col.
Cushing Of the Rhode Island colony
and after liberty had been gained re-
turned to his home in that colony. His
body lies buried in a revolutionary
graveyard in that state. The family
record in the Civil War is attested by
the honorable discharge papers of
the two grandfathers, both of whom
served in the infantry.
The Kenosha soldier who will return
home i'll a few days has been me-
chanician in the Aerial Corps. At the
outbreak of the war he was at first re-
fused because of his age and fastened
to answer the call as soon as he be-
came eighteen years of age. He has
been in France for more than a year
and has also been in Belgium, Italy,
Germany and Switzerland while he
has been In Europe
Private Cox will find one vacant
chair in the family circle when he
reaches Kenosha. While he was away
defending the flag, his father, Walter
J Cox was taken with serious illness
and died last fall. Word Of the death
was sent to the soldier but he was Of
course unable to reach his father Is
bedside. He expects to reach Keno
sha the latter part Of the week and
will make his home with his mother
on Ann street.
