Death of Capt. John C. Cox
Our community will receive with deep regret the announcement we are pained to make this morning of the death of Capt. John C. Cox. Deceased arrived from Washington yesterday morning at 9 o’clock accompanied by Mrs. Cox and though in feeble condition from protracted sickness was not considered in imminent danger. He was conveyed to Glen Annie his old home on North Twelfth Street where during the day a change set in and he sank rapidly expiring at 7 o’clock last evening. His wife and one son only, Mr. Harvey Cox , were with him in his last hours, the other members of the family, a son and daughter , being in Washington.
Capt. Cox had long been a resident of Quincy, owned considerable property here and had in years gone by taken an active part in our railroad and other public enterprises. During the war , we believe he held the rank of Captain [Lt. Colonel] and A. Q. M. [Assistant Quartermaster] in the army, and subsequently under Johnson’s administration , became chief clerk of Hon. O. H. Browning, then Secretary of Interior. Upon the retirement of Mr. Browning, deceased did not return to Quincy , but located at the National Capitol where his sons. Capt. Rowland and Harry Cox had established themselves as attorneys. Although claiming this city as his home and retaining his handsome residence place here for his own use and occupation , he has with his family remained at Washington almost continually for many years, and only returned yesterday to breathe his last at the old homestead. Our citizens generally who knew the deceased and esteemed him for his many noble qualities, will deplore his loss and mingle their regrets with those of the relatives and immediate friends, who have in this visitation suffered an irreparable loss.

Mr. and Mrs. Cox formerly resided on North Tenth street, in the house now known as the St. Vincent home, but which has been entirely remodeled since then.
