Husband and Wife
They Die Within Three Hours of Each Other
Mr. and Mrs. Luther M. Wilcox, of No. 7 Oak street, died yesterday, quite suddenly, with the grip, within three hours of each other,a nd their daughter, Mrs. William E. Parker, is seriously sick with the same disease, at their late home on Oak street. After her father and mother died they wished to remove Mrs. Parker to her sister's home, but Dr. Axtell discounted ___any such proceeding. Mr. Wilcox had been out of his head for some time past, and, while living on South Prospect street about two years ago made an attempt at suicide by cutting his own throat. About a week ago he was taken with the grip, and was seriously ill from the first. It was thought by the physician attending that he would survive Mrs. Wilcox, who had been continued to her bed for several weeks past, but, yesterday morning, the disease took a sudden turn and he died a little after 9. Mrs. Wilcox died a little after 12 before the undertaker, who had been called to attend the body of her husband, had left the house.
The double funeral will be about 3 o'clock, this afternoon, from the house, and the interment will be in the same grave. Thus will be the second double funeral which Mr. Morgan has attended since January 1, the other being that of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ure, who were both buried in the same grave, January 18.
