    Ethel Cox Harrison, third child of George and Loretta Nichols Cox. Ethel is a little different dispositioned than her sister Minnie. She is very mild mannered with one of the nicest dispositions of any one I have ever known. She is very much like her father Uncle George Cox, taking things as they came in stride and smiling along with the bad as well as the good. She is a lovely alto singe rand one of my fondest memories of her and her sister Minnie singing duets when I would be visiting them as a small boy She married Daniel Harrison Aug 24, 1908, he was a local boy of Jefferson County and managed our grandfather's store that was located near her home. Dan was a fine man, he farmed in Jefferson County for a few years after they were married, then moved to Morristown, Tenn. There they raised quite a large family. Several years ago Dan’s health became impaired and he had a stroke and was a semi-invalid for a good many years but with all of this neither he nor Ethel would complain. I remember very well the last time I saw Dan. I visited their home and he had a fine garden of flowers and vegetables. Even though handicapped he kept smiling. He died a few years ago; and is buried in the Morristown Cemetery.

    Ethel and Dan had eight children, namely, Amos, George, Turner, Lucille, Frank and Cora (twins), Helen and Margaret.

    Amos I believe is in the freight business. He married Lucille Jones. They have four children, namely, Robert, Daniel, William and Amos, Jr.

    Daniel, second son of Amos, married Ann Bryan. They have one child, Michael Bryan. William, the third son of Amos and Lucille Jones Harrison, is married to Ann Bales. No children at this writing. Amos’ other children are not married at this time.

    George, second son of Dan and Ethel Cox Harrison, married Viola Cameron. They have five children, namely, Rochelle, Porter, Jane, Richard and John. None of these children are married at this writing.

    Turner, third son of Dan and Ethel Cox, Harrison married Reba Pots. They have one child, namely, Wanda.

    Lucille, oldest daughter of Dan and Ethel Cox Harrison, married Mack Biddle of Morristown, Tenn. They have one child, namely, Charles Eugene.

    Frank, twin to Cora, son of Dan and Ethel Cox Harrison, married Mary Hazelwood. They have three children, namely, Deanie, Phyllis and Sandra. Cora the other twin, married John Williams of Knoxville. They have two children, John Jr. and Frank H.

    Helen, seventh child of Dan and Ethel Cox Harrison, married George B. Johnson. They have one son, Stanley.

    Margaret, eighth child of Dan and Ethel Cox Harrison, is not married at this time. She isis credit manager of Sears and Roebuck in Morristown, Tenn., and lives at home with her mother.

    RUBY COX BRYAN

    Ruby, fourth child of George and Loretta Nichols Cox was about one year younger than myself. She was a fine pianist and as I remember her when visiting there especially when her brother and sisters, John, Minnie and Ethel had married. In the evening she played the piano and the guitat and we would sing, especially
