Death was from a heart attack suffered at 5:10 and brought an end to his life shortly after 7 o'clock. Mr. Cox was born near Cassville on March 24, 1901, and spent his entire life in this community to endear him to all who knew him.

Mr. Cox was a clean upright, kindly Christian citizen, who thought not forward, was always willing to assume responsibility. He was a friend to everyone, a devoted husband, loving father, dutiful son and cherished brother. He had been feeling badly the last few weeks and made an effort to determine his trouble, but did not suspect the seriousness of it.

Curry married Martha Horner on Jan. 28, 1870 in Barry Co., MO. Daughter of Isaac Horner and Mary Ellen Moore. - Online obit for husband B. F. "Frank" - A Good Citizen Dead: As the day was fading away, and the darkness of night approaching, the spirit of Franklin Curry took its flight, on evening of July 6th, 1907, at his home near Eagle Rock, surrounded by loving relatives and friends. A man had to know Frank Curry to appreciate his worth as a man. Barry County has lost a splendid citizen, whose every act was honorable. Honesty was his guiding star in all his life's acts. His children can point with pride and love, to his life as a father and citizen. His children are all reputable citizens and have gone out in the world with the splendid principles taught them by a loving father. B. F. Curry was born in Newton County, MO, Dec. 22, 1837. Died July 6th, 1907, aged 69 years, 6 months, and 13 days. His father married the widow Brown and moved to Barry County when Frank was seven years old, settling on the old Curry farm on White River, where Frank grew to manhood and has been a resident of Barry County, continuously since, and a resident of Roaring River township except two years from 73 to 77 when he resided on Amos Horner's farm near Cassville. He enlisted Sept. 15, 1863, in Co. E, 2nd, Regiment Arkansas Cavalry Volunteers. Was discharged on account of disability, May 30, 1865, returned to the old home devastated by the ravages of war, with his step-mother and three half-brothers; his father, two own brothers and one sister died during the war. He married Martha Horner, Jan. 19, 1870, to whom, was born five children, Wm, living in Idaho, Charles near Eagle Rock, Albert and Robert in Nebraska and Mary wife of Geo. Skelton of Eagle Rock. His wife died Jan. 19, 1882 and he was married to Martha Skelton November 9, 1883 to whom was born two children, Josephine, wife of Finis Easley and Christopher who died Nov. 6, 1887. He had one half brother who went west in '85 and has never been heard of; no ones knows whether he is dead or alive. Frank Curry was a man who attended to his own business, has not an enemy, and was one of the best of citizens, a man of strict integrity, who considered his word as the bond, who would allow himself to owe no man a cent and who expected others to be honest, but was not over-exciting to a debtor. He has been afflicted for several years and has bore his sufferings with fortitude. He had been in bed for the last two weeks and his sufferings seemed almost endurable and he knew that the end was near; he only wished for it to hastened. His affliction was Bright's disease. He was buried at the Munsey Cemetery, on the 7th, and there were lots of people present, a long procession of wagons and other vehicles following from the house to the grave. Isaac Brock conducted funeral services. | Online Obit MO Marriage Records Census Phyllis Long Photo Darla Marbut |

| DYE, Harrison | Apr. 9, 1823 Morgan Co., OH |
Sept. 10, 1901 Barry Co., MO |
Research Note: Harrison Dye, son of James Dye and Barbara (Livengood) Dye. Sometime around 1831 and 1832, Harrison, being about 9 years old at this time, moved with his family from Ohio into Illinois. The family was living in McDonough Co. on the 1840 census. Harrison would have been about 18 years old at this time. He moved out on his own and got married Aug. 25, 1842 to Nancy Roberts to which one child was born (Jesse William Dye). Based on census information there is no Jesse Dye on the 1850 census so assuming he died young. In 1848, Harrison filed for divorce on grounds of desertion. A week after his divorce was granted (Oct. 8, 1850) he married Sarah Pope who was a widow with 4 children of her own. The 1850 census shows Harrison living with his brother James Dye (Jr.) family and right next door to his future wife Sarah Pope and her children. I'm not sure when or how they met but guessing it's through a mutual connection of the Pope family. Harrison and Sarah haven't been found on an 1860 census but my assumption is this would be the time frame of their moving from Illinois into Missouri. At the start of the Civil War in April of 1861, Harrison would have been 39 years old. I'm not sure of eligibility requirements for joining the War, but I can find no records of him enlisting on either side. They moved south into Missouri by 1870 showing up on the Cass Co. census living just south of Harrisonville, Mo. They lived there as late as 1874 based of personal property tax records and by 1880 they had moved south into Barton Co. That is, everyone except Harrison, who has disappeared again. Sarah can be found living in Doylesport but her marriage status shows that she is divorced at this time. Harrison showed up again in Barry Co. Mo. and was living in Cassville on the 1900 census just prior to his death at the age of 79. He is buried southeast of Cassville in the Horner Cemetery. He is the only Dye buried there. - He may have married a third time to Susan Jane Haney on Oct. 1, 1892 in Newton Co., MO. | Note Greg Dye MO Marriage Records Phyllis Long Photo Darla Marbut |
