On the back of photo # 2 is written "Mr. A.M.Cox, 5632";
nothing is written on photo # 3. They are on opposite pages (# 2, # 3, reversed here).
Both photos printed in Chicago, where this couple maintained a second home at
302 Orchard St. The scan of image #3 below is from
a better quality print in the Hannah Landis album. A photo of
Emeline's mother is in this album.
The 1860 Illinois census
lists A.M. Cox (age 35) as hotel manager residing in Sandwich with Emeline E. Cox (age 36) and
4 Cox children: see Genealogy.
Historian Barbara Hoffman and archivist Kenny Bastian, both in Sandwich, contributed
obituaries of both these people. Briefly, "A.M. Cox" is
"Albert Montfort Cox", who (near his death) lived at "Sandwich House" on Center Street.
A picture of the hotel is available. Both are buried in Oakridge Cemetery in Sandwich.
The clothing of Emeline dates from 1885-1889. See later photos
of this couple, an earlier photo, or
a group photo. |
