Death of John J. Cox

New York, 1895

John J. Cox, of Glen Cove, died on Saturday night. Mr. Cox was in many ways a remarkable man and, had he lived until the 15th inst., would have completed his 91st year. Born at Westbury of Quaker parentage, he at an early age of life became a member of the Methodist church, in which he has been prominent for sixty years.
