Mrs. B. Fox Dead

Mrs. B. Fox died at her home near the College grounds last Thursday night. A tumor and cancer were the cause. While she had been in poor health for a year, she was confined to her bed for the six weeks prior to her death.

Funeral services in charge of Dr. W. Bode were held at the home at 1:30 Saturday afternoon and later at the College Chapel. Burial was in the local cemetery.

Mrs. Fox was born in the country of Holland. She was 70 years and 4 days old at the time of her death. She came to this country eight years ago and resided here continuously since that time. Her husband has been the janitor at the college.

Surviving relatives are the husband, one daughter, Mrs. C. Witbaard, of Monroe, Iowa, one daughter who lives in Holland, and a son, Bernard, who lives in Buenos Aires in South America. Only the one daughter, Mrs. Witbaard, was able to be with her mother during her last illness.
