BODY OF TRANSIENT CAMP ENROLEE FOUND TUESDAY
The body of James Carby, 24, Roosevelt transient camp enrollee was found about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning by a Great Northern section crew along the tracks two mile west of town. First believed to have been the victim of a brawl that grew out of a protracted drinking spree, indications are that Carby was struck by a train. Although the body was not injured to any great extent the fatal wound were inflicted on the head indicating he was probably struck by a swinging object as he stood beside the track to let the train pass. The body was indentified by Supt. G. P. Stuart of the Roosevelt as that of James Carby whose home was in Boston, Mass. Three of the deceased mans companions were held at the county jail more in the hope of getting the
complete story than because of any fear of foul play. It is known there was some dispute of some sort since Carby stopped at the county hospital during the early morning hours seeking attention for slight injuries. He was intoxicated at that time, according to attendants at the hospital. The body was removed to the E.E. Purdy & Sons, chapel. The cornoner investigated also.

Mrs. E. W. Cox Dies Suddenly
The End Came At 2:35 A. M., Sunday, Nov. 22, Following a Day or Two of Illness
Funeral Held Wednesday
Following an illness of two or three days occurred on Sunday morning, November 22,
the death of Mrs. Leelia Millard Cox, wife of Dr. E. W. Cox of this city, at their
home on south Lewis street. The news came with quite a shock to the entire
commmunity, because of its suddenness, and the fact that bur very fiew knew of her
illness. about midnight Thursday, November 19, Mrs. Cox was taken ill, severely so
for a short time, but rallied and had continued to regain strength when the relapse
came and was quickly followed by death.
The funeral was held Wednesday at 2 p.m., from Odd Fellows Hall, Rev. P. H. Raymond,
from Mount Vernon, officiating; Mrs. Selwood rendered the vocal music of the service
to an accompaniment by Mrs. E. H. Titus. The pallbearers were: W. S. Camp, L. H.
Young, C. L. Barlow, J. E. Stirton, C. A. Strandberg and C. F. Elwell. Burial was
made in I.O.O.F. cemetery.
Leelia Millard was born in New Iberia, La., November 12, 1870, where she resided with
her parents until November 3, 1904, when she was united in marriage with Dr. E. W.
Cox, of Huntington, West Va., to which place they came immediately following their
marriage, and which was their home for the next succeeding four years where Dr. Cox
was in active practice of his profession. In 1908, Mr. and Mrs. Cox and their son,
Earl, came to Washington, selecting Monroe as their home and which during the years
since then has been their place of residence. During all these years in Monroe, Mrs.
Cox enjoyed a very wide and most interesting list of friends, by whom she was most
highly estimated. She participated in most of the social life of Monroe for a number
of years, was a member of the Eastern Star, also of the Maccabees, for a number of
years up to about 1913, at which time she was taken to California for her health,
where they intended to make their home. Since then she was not active in the affairs
of these civic bodies.
She also relinquished a good deal of the social activities in which she once took an
active part. A short time in California had a very beneficial effect upon Mrs. Cox's
health, and she returned to Monroe, continued to improve and consequently the removal
to California for permanent residence was abandoned. Tho not a member of the church
organizations of Monroe, Mrs. Cox had an abiding christian faith, and from what we
learn had quite a prediliction for the Protestant Episcopal belief. She was quite a
Bible student, and thru her entire adult years christianity was her motto and in this
fine motive she worked out her own salvation in a most sincere way. She was a lady
of very simple tastes, much of a home maker and home lover and therein she enjoyed
the best of life as to her ideal of things. She loved dearly her son, Earl, and
daughter, Edna, of whom she was very justly proud. The testimony of the man who
mourns deepest at her passing is indeed the finest tribute and is, that during the
twenty-one years and ten days they lived as husband and wife, no one ever heard her
utter an ill remark about anybody. With Mrs. Cox, it had to be words of praise,
encomium, or else it was the silence that sprang from her fine charitable
characteristics. She had many dear friends in Monroe, was an interesting
entertainer, cultured and very highly informed, a constant reader of the better
things of the printing press, and kept postedon various phases of the affairs of her
country and the age in which she lived. To the bereaved husband, who expects to
carry on his profession as usual, to his son and daughter, the Monitor offers most
sincere condolence in the untimely passing of a wife and mother well worthy of these
titles. Their grief, we believe will be assuaged by the recollections of her love
and devotion in these two great responsibilities.

Jos. W. Crow, 65, veteran employee of the Carnation Milk Co., died at his home on
Lewis street early Tuesday morning following an illness that dated back many months.
Death was not unsuspected as Mr. Crow, in rapidly failing health the past few months
had been in a state of coma since the middle of last week. Mr. Crow, who had served
the town as its mayor thru one adminstration after filling out the unexpired term of
J.J. Cretney, retired voluntarily from further official duties a year ago when
failing health would not permit his continuance. Retired after a lifetime of faithful
service to the company that he had watched grow from little or nothing into a
global business, Mr. Crow left a record surpassed by few in the company's history.
Born in Kent, April 26, 1872, in the White River valley, Mr. Crow's association with
the Carnation Milk Co. and E.A. Stewart, its founder, was almost at the very
beginning of the business itself. Although Monroe had been his home for the better
part of 30 years, where he was superintendent of the Carnation condensery until it
ceased operation, Mr. Crow had seen service in other places. Following the closing of
the Monroe condensery he took charge of the Hillsboror, Oregon plant. This completed
his active service with the company.
Since Monroe had been his home for many years he returned here to finish out an
active and useful career. With the death of Mayor Cretney, Mr. Crow was persuaded to
assume the duties of that office. He was elected without opposition for a two-year
term, being succeeded by Mayor C. W. Roben in Jan 1937. Besides his widow he is
survived by a son Roland, Mrs. Eva Flanigan and Mrs. Lydia Martell, daughters both of
Seattle; three grandsons Stuart Martell, who has made his home with his grandparents
for several years, and Patsy and Trent Finnigan of Seattle. Others who survive
include the following brothers and sisters; James and Roert Crow, Seattle; Edward
and Bernard Crow, Kent; Mrs. Emma Sandstrom, Miss Elizabeth Crow, Kent; Mrs. Marie
Donovan, Los Angles. Funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m. at
the Monroe chapel of Purdy & Whitfield, with Rev. Harry Allen officiating. Interment
followed in the IOOF cemetery.
