The Cherokee Democrat March 9, 1892

DIED

Little Melvin Herbert Fox, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Fox of this city, died on Sunday, March 6, 1892, after an illness of twenty days, caused by lung fever, which afterwards turned into brain fever. Melvin was two years old Feb. 11-an age when he had become very precious to those who now weep and know no consolation. The funeral occurred on Monday and was attended by a large number of friends of the family, all of whom join in expressions of deepest sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Fox in their bereavement. Impressive services were conducted by Rev. McCaffrey and Rev. Johnson of Pierre.
