Isaac Joslin Cox, a long-time member of the Association, died
in San Antonio on October 31, 1956. Before the turn of the cen-

Ph.D. degree from Pennsylvania in 1904. He was a meticulous
scholar and an early contributor to the Quarterly. Perhaps his
major interest was in West Florida but he worked many years
on the Burr Controversy. Professor Cox retired from the chair-
manship in the history department of Northwestern University
in 1941 and had resided in San Antonio for about the last decade.

the Association. She was a music teacher for many years but
throughout her long lifetime maintained an intense interest in
