Description
Newspaper clippings pertaining to the life of selected mayors. The original image includes portraits of 13 Mayors. Date of photo estimated from the dates of his term in office (1895-1896). Mr. Cox was born in Covington, Kentucky February 16, 1857. After living in Philadelphia and Ohio, he and his family moved to Pasadena because of his wife’s ill-health in 1886. She recovered and he prospered in the real estate business, later called “the Dean of Pasadena Real Estate Dealers.” He was elected to the City Council in 1892 and was mayor from 1895-1896. Issues during his terms were street improvements such as the paving of Colorado, Raymond, Fair Oaks and Union. The city began flushing its sewage to the City Farm in what is now Alhambra, and the Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric Eailway lines extended to Pasadena.
