Dr. Wilcox was a surgeon in the US Army with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Mrs. Wilcox and her husband have been pleasantly located at government stations in the far West, as well as along the eastern coast.

Dr. Wilcox was ordered to Cuba; later the family removed to Washington, D.C., where they anticipated making their future home.

Mrs. Wilcox’s severe and fatal illness made a change of climate necessary and, as advised they removed to Fort Schuyler, where she passed away. She was buried near her old home, among the hills of her childhood, in Sauquoit Valley Cemetery.

Clara B. Brown Wilcox was born 14 March 1842 at Bridgewater, New York, and died on 28 August 1899 at fort Schyler, Bronx, New York, age 57.
