Died February 20, 1933, New Berlin, NY

Monday morning, February 20, 1933, William Henry Jacox, son of the late Warren and Sarah Bagg Jacox, passed away after a brief illness of pneumonia at the home of his sister, Miss Esther Jacox, in this village.  Mr. Jacox was born August 14, 1856, at the Jacox homestead just below this village on the east side and had always lived in this vicinity.  He was a graduate of Colgate university with an A.B. degree and for a short time taught school.  Later he became a farmer and followed that occupation until the time of his death. When a young man he united with the Baptist church in South New Berlin and was a faithful and devout member for over sixty years.  He was clerk of the church forty-seven years and always deeply interested in its welfare, being a Sunday school teacher a large part of his adult life.  Mr. Jacox was a kindly man and an interesting speaker, and those who had the privilege of listening to him realized that he was well informed on many subjects.  He was also a collector and preserver of church and village records which have been valuable and at the one hundredth anniversary of the Baptist church wrote and gave the church history.  He continued his activities until a short time ago when he was forced to withdraw and devote his time and energy to the care of an invalid sister.  Mr. Jacox never married, and the only surviving relatives besides some cousins are two sisters, Miss Esther Jacox and Miss Luella Jacox. Another sister, Frances, died February 15, 1933 after a few days' illness.  To those two surviving sisters the sympathy of all goes out in their affliction. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon, February 22, 1933 at the Baptist church. Rev. C.H. Skinner pastor of the church, spoke of the many years he had served the church and his faithful work.  He was buried in the family plot in Riverside cemetery.
