Graduating from high school in Andrews, he studied school both as Davidson College and at Weaver College. Prior to his illness, he had been at work here with the Cozad Ice Company.
Becoming ill some weeks ago, the youth underwent an operation about two months ago, and his condition has gradually become worse since that time.

Reavis of Asheboro, pastor here until recently and a close friend of the Cozad family. Interment was nt he Franklin Cemetery. A mass of beautiful flowers attested the esteem and love felt for the young man.
Surviving, in addition to his mother and grandparents are two sisters, Misses Margaret an Mildred Cozad.
