Felix Cockrell Passes Away.
Died, at his home in Clifton township, Wilson county, Kans. Sunday, April 4, 1897, at 3:30 p. m., Felix Cockrell, aged 60 years, 3 months and 27 days.
In this death Wilson county loses one of its oldest citizens. Felix Cockrell was born in Clay county Illinois, removing to Cass county, Missouri at the age of 15 years; from there to Pottawatomie county, Kansas, about the beginning of the war and in the fall of 1870 to Wilson county. September 25, 1870, he was married to Sarah E. Morgan, who survives him with five children three having died in infancy. With the exception of Mrs. Laura Cockrell (who married her father’s nephew) the eldest, now at Cushing, Ok., the family were all at home and present at his death.
Mr. Cockrell was a man of marked individuality and sterling worth, honest and conscientious in all his dealings and highly respected by his neighbors, though being more or less afflicted for many years with chronic dispepsi he was inclined to be gloomy. He was one of a family of thirteen, ten of whom are now living and residing as follows: Mrs. Celia Blair, Miami county, Kans.; Thos. Cockrell, Greenwood county, Kans.; Simon Cockrell, Cass county, Mo.; George Cockrell, Perkins, Ok.; Morticai Cockrell and Mrs. Julia Craig, Riley Center, Kan. Mrs. Blair was the only one of them present at his death and funeral. They belong to the noted Cockrell family of Missouri, the deceased being a second cousin of Senator Cockrell.
For six years Mr. Cockrell has been gradually failing. Since last fall he has been unable to work though until four weeks ago he has been up and dressed every day.
Deceased was not a member of any church, nor, so far as we know, a professor of any religion. The funeral services were conducted at the family residence three miles west of Buffalo, Monday, by Rev. Wm. B. Whitaker of the Friends church, and the body laid to rest in the Buffalo cemetery. His long residence and the esteem in which he was held by the community was attested by a large attendance at the funeral.

In the obituary of Felix Cockrell last week we made a mistake in saying that Mrs. Laura Cockrell was married to her father’s nephew. It should have been her father’s cousin.
