James E. COX died at St. Catherine's, Ontario, aged 32 years. The above gentleman was born at Chatham, N.B. in 1861. His father was a surveyor who came to P.E.I. in 1871 to survey under Engineer Boyd and moved to the U.S. with his family some years since. James received his education at St. Dunstan's college and was noted for his fine mathematical ability. For some two years he was teaching at Georgetown. On Sept. 5, 1884, he was appointed exciseman under Collector Samuel G. Nash at Charlottetown, was removed to Halifax, N.S. in 1885 and was stationed there two years. He came back to Charlottetown in 1887, and after a few months in office was removed to Montreal, thence to Windsor and finally to St. Catherine's, where he died last week after an illness of only two days.
