The funeral of Joseph F. Wilcox, who died last Friday evening, occurred at his late residence at Ridge Mills Monday, and was very largely attended.
Mr. Wilcox was born in Groton, Conn., May 22, 1817, and was therefore in his 72d year.He came to Rome forty-two years ago and for two years lived on what is known as the Greenfield farm, near Stanwix.He then moved onto the Huntington farm, on the Ridge road, and lived there nineteen years.He then bought a house and a few acres of land at Ridge Mills, and there passed the remainder of his days in peace and quiet.In politics, Mr. Wilcox was a Republican, and for a number of years was elected commissioner of highways of the fifth ward of this city.By his integrity in the discharge of every duty, he won the esteem of all his fellow men.(RC Oct 17/1888).
