Wm. A. Fox Dies Suddenly.
Friends in this city were immeasurably shocked Sunday night on learning of the sudden death of Wm. A. Fox at his home 4 miles south of town. He had for some years been afflicted somewhat with rheumatism and Bright's disease, but had been able to work all fall, and had been doing carpenter work in town for some weeks past. He arose Sunday morning feeling as well as usual, but shortly before noon he began feeling badly, and lay down till dinner was ready. When he went to dinner he found that his left side was partially paralyzed. From that time on he grew rapidly worse and died at 6 o'clock.
Mr. Fox was born in Appanoose county, Iowa, March 23, 1862, and was married to Miss Emma Melson, January 6 (5), 1886. To their marriage were born six children, five of whom with their mother survive him. The children are Miss Etta, who is employed by the Gross Mercantile Co., Clarence, Earl, Ray and Lilie (Lillie). Deceased united with the Baptist church at Livingston, Iowa. The family moved to this county in 1903, and when the Unionville Baptist Church was organized Mr. Fox and his family became identified with that organization, and (he) was an officer in the church at the time of his death. He was a faithful Christian, a trustworthy citizen in every way, a kind and loving father and husband - one who strove to do his duty toward his fellow men and to his God. His death, is deeply mourned.
The funeral services took place at Livingston, Iowa, Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 1 p.m. conducted by Rev. A. E. Clemens, pastor of the Seymour Baptist Church.

Obituary
William A. Fox was born in Appanoose County, Iowa, March 23, 1862 and died at his home near Unionville, Mo., Dec. 1, 1907 aged 45 years, 8 months and 8 days.
He was married to Emma Melson January 5, 1886. To them were born six children, five of whom are living - three boys and two girls.
When a young man he gave his heart to Christ. He united with the Baptist church at Livingston, Iowa, in 1890. He afterwards moved to Seymour where he united with the Baptists and was an active member for years. At the time of his death he was one of the faithful workers in the church at Unionville, Mo.
He was several times engaged in business in Seymour. Once in the grocery business as a member of the firm of Bonner & Fox, and at another time he engaged in the Furniture business being associated with Geo. Lawrence. Few men, we have known, could claim more friends than he. His cheerful disposition, his generous nature, ragged honesty, a faithfulness to a friend won for him a host of admirers and he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He was in his usual health on Saturday last and worked all the week. On Sunday about 11 o'clock a.m. he was taken ill and died the same evening. All the medical aid that could be summoned failed to relieve him and he soon sank into unconsciousness and only lingered a few hours.
The funeral services were conducted from the Baptist church at Livingston, Iowa, on Tuesday December 3, 1907. A. E. Clemens of this place, a longtime friend of the deceased, conducted the services. A very large congregation gathered to express sympathy for the bereaved family and appreciation of the life of the departed. Among those going from Seymour were a number of members of the Woodmen lodge.
