Robert Knox


The death of Robert Knox, one of the well known residents of this county occurred at his home near Atlas, Tuesday night.

Mr. Knox was in his eighty-fifth year and about five weeks ago, fell and injured himself, so as to cause his partial paralysis, from which he did not recover.

Mr. Knox was born in Jefferson County, and came to Barnesville about thirty-five years ago, and soon after went to a farm where he died.

In 1863 he was married to Miss Lucy Smith, who survives him. Mr. Knox was a life long member of the Methodist Church.

He was a gentle, manly man, who pursued the even tenor of his way, doing whatever he found to do. In his own time and way, and wanting no reward but an approving conscience.

He was kind to his family, loyal to his friends, and true to his church.

He was the father of seven boys, four of whom are living, and occupying honored positions in life.

Funeral service will be held Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Mr. Palmer. Interment at Harmony.
