Mr. and Mrs. Chris Cox posed proudly in front of their home some 105 years ago. The old home is now gone, along with its occupants. The Monroe Lindsey home now stands in this general area. Mr. Cox was among the first Trustees of Jackson Township.

This picture was loaned to the Herald by Mrs. Frank Thompson.
