Hundreds of telegrams of f6T sympathy have come to the stricken gq family today. Mr. Willcox was held })et in love and affection and esteem wherever he was known. He was p;r greatly admired for the brilliancy of sec his mind. As a lawyer he had few. er if any, equals in the state, being a the firm of Willcox & Willcox was form- v-0] cd to F!orence. In 1894 the present j ex? master of the law as a science and a for tvial lawyer of the highest atTain- a 0 ments as well. He was a man of che exr broadest culture. His library is one (]0] of the finest in the state ahd it was t}ja his pride. One of the finest traits of r}lc his character was his interest in young wo men, many of whom he had helped to jar procure an education. At the time of 5ar his death he was a member of the f0I board of trustees of rhe Ur:versity xVa of South Carolina, an institution very <]ear to him and from which he grad- ,iVe uated in the class of 1887. n->.a Mr. Willcox was prominent in the rea South Carolina Bar association and $0 the American Bar association, in both an of which he had held office. He was sor president of the South Carolina Bar rssociation in 1919 and 1920. He wa? Fo; : valued member of the Rotary club \ i? ni T71 ;_ qi r toreuee. norexice is iiiuunaug ( today the death of a true and loyal ? i'riend in whose passing the citv and the state have sustained a distinct loss. \ Mr. Willcox was born in Marion in 1306, the son of the late Judge Jon?; "Willcox and Sarah Virginia (nee Clark) Willcox. After graduation irom the University of South Caroiv he studied law under Judge Cnas. Woods, with whom he formed jj partnership in 1889. the year he moved. the junior member being Fred L Willcox, a first cousin.

Irs als addition to representing tne Allan- ten tir Coast Line Railroad company, Mr cle Willcox was counsel for other large ing corporations. In the practice of hi? dy. profession he displayed remarkable trii qualities of mnid. Quick in percep- voi tion, powerful in analysis, he could an* resolve a most intricate legal propo- wil sition into its elements with the most apparent ease. His life was not a selfish life, but a life that was a ben efaction to his city and state and his loss will be sorely felt. ^ Mr. Willcox leaves a widow, who an before marriage was Miss Marie Ba- Go cot Branson, two sons and a daughter, t0T as follows: Philip Allston, Jr., aged ir>; Henry St. George Carson, aged t0i 4; and Rosanne, aged 13.
