Isaac Cox, an old and highly respected resident of Kalamazoo county, died at 7:30 Friday morning at his home, 715 Forest street. Mr. Cox was born in the city of New York, July 15, 1822, of Quaker parentage. He was brought up in that faith and held firmly to it throughout his life. The deceased came to Kalamazoo county in 1843 and in August of the same year married Cyilnda S. Sykes, who died January 12, 1871. He was again married January 24, 1874, to Mrs. Nancy Boynton, who survives him. Mr. Cox spent the greater part of his life upon his farm in Portage which he purchased in an early day. He was a very successful farmer, a lifelong democrat and a man of unquestionable integrity. He had been a subscriber to the Gazette for 40 years.
