THE RED OAK SUN 19 Mar 1908

Hezekiah Cozad died suddenly Tuesday night, 17 Mar 1908, 
at the home of his son, Charles E. Cozad, near Hawthorne,

of his son while the latter went to Chicago with a shipment

the remains will be taken to his late home in Essex.

of the Shenandoah M.E. Church Friday afternoon. 
Mr. Cozad was a native of Ohio, born in Jackson county, 
Sept. 22, 1833. He was married in Ohio in 1844 
(has to be a misprint - should be 1854, I think) 
to Margaret Birchard, from which marriage there 
survives a daughter, Mrs. H.R. Dilly, residing 
northeast of Red Oak. Mrs. Cozad died in 1857. 
In 1859 he remarried this time to Sarah A. Dukeshire, 
who survives him with eight children, who are:

2. [William] Grant Cozad of Ottumwa, Wapello Co., IA. 52501 

3. George Cozad          of Essex, Page Co., IA. 51638
 
4. J.F. Cozad            of Shenandoah, Page Co., IA. 51601
 
5. Mrs. Theodosia Potts  of Carleton, Okla., 

6. Mrs. William Bellis   of Basin, Okla., 

7. Charles E. Cozad      of Hawthorne, and 

8. Mrs. J.C. Wellwood    of Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., IA. 51501

Mr. Cozad was soldier in the war for the Union, 
serving 18 months in Co. K of the 4th Iowa Infantry, 
he going with Sherman to the sea. He was a member 
of the M.E. Church for 50 years. He resided in the 
vicinity of Essex for 51 years - an upright citizen 
and a most highly respected neighbor.
