Death of Stanley E. Wilcox
The death of Stanley E. Wilcox occurred at 9 p.m. in the hospital of the Soldiers� Home in Sandusky, Wednesday, Dec. 22d, after a prolonged illness. The deceased was one of the best known citizens of this section of Ohio, and for many years a resident of Wellington, where he was born 72 years ago. In early life he was engaged in the hotel business, and at one time ran the old American House, which stood upon the ground where the Herrick Library now stands. He was always a genial and popular citizen, and at the time of the Civil war, enlisted in the band of the 86th Ohio infantry, later in the 176th regiment, and served his time. Of late years Mr. Wilcox has lived in various places. He leaves a wife and two daughters to mourn his death, besides a large number of friends in the state who regret his demise. The funeral was held at the L.H. Wadsworth residence on Friday, at 1 o�clock p.m. and was attended by a few friends. The body was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, the services being under the auspices of the G.A.R., the Post members turing (sic) out in goodly numbers to do him honor. Peace to his ashes.
