This morning he went down to the bank as usual, but returned to the house after a little, telling Mrs. Fox that he did not feel very well. He laid down on a lounge to rest and Mrs. Fox left the room returning in about half hour to find him unconscious. Drs. B. A. and N. M. Wade were at once summoned, but every effort was unavailing and the end came at about 1:30. Alvin Fox died in the 49th year of his age.
