his wife, Mary Ellen. She is related to me on the Fox side. Alger married Mary
Ellen Fry, a fine young lady, in 1936. They live on the home farm near his
mother and have two sons, Merle, the oldest and Lynn the younger. Merle, while
serving in the air corps met a young lady from Iowa and was married in 1958.
Lynn is not married at this writing, and I am not sure whether he is serving in
the armed services or not.
Eunice, fourth child of Porter and Minnie Cox Slaton, married Elmer Franklin
of Jefferson County. He is a fine farmer and a fine man. They have three
children, namely, Kermit, Gail and!Curtis.
Ralph, fifth child of Porter and Minnie Cox Slaton, married Norma Belle
Reneau in 1940. They have two children, Everett and Gary. Ralph had a great
war record in World War II.
Conard, sixth child of Porter arid Minnie Cox Slaton, married Barbara J.
Cowles from Connecticut. Conard was well educated and served during World
War II. After returning from war, he was teaching in or near New Haven,
Connecticut. He met and married Miss Barbara Cowles. They have four children,
namely, Phillip, Pamela, Smart and Norma Dean.
Loretta, seventh child of Porter and Minnie Cox Slaton, married Reed Bull, Jr.
They have two children, namely, Linda and Brenda.
William, eighth child of Porter and Minnie Cox Slaton, married Dorothy Hart
from Morristown, Tenn. He is making a career in the Air Corps, and at this
writing is stationed in Iceland. This is 1959. They have two children, namely,
Dianne and Steven.
John Cox, oldest son of George and Loretta, is quite a fellow and a real farmer.
I could write a book about this fellow and still not tell half of the story. Of all
my male cousins he is no doubt my favorite. When I go back to Tennessee each
year I usually spend much of my time with him and his family. There are so
many things that I could write about him I scarcely know where to start. He has
always been full of energetic know-how and was always the first of the farmers
in the community to get modern machinery and other up-to-date implements
for farm use. In speaking of him most reverently many times he and I would
sit up until way late in the night and discuss some of the things that we did in
our younger days getting much laughter out of it. I do particularly want to speak
of his horse-trading back in the horse and buggy days in which he was a wizzard.
I think he beat everybody in that country in trading horses.
He probably inherited that technique from our grandfather, John Nichols,
who was a fine horse trader as you no doubt have learned in my writing of him.
I do want to reveal some of the trades that John and I have talked and laughed
about many times. One in particular, our grandfather gave him an old mule that
was probably about 20 or 25 years old. John brought him home and fattened him
up real good and got on a trade with Charles Roberts for the mule, and in fact he
probably skinned this man in more horse trades than any other individual in
Jefferson County. They finally traded, John getting $15.00 for the mule and
Charles boasting that he had got $35.00 for worse mules than that. Some time
later when Charles couldn’t trade the mule or hardly give him away, he was back
after John to make a trade. This trade included that same mule plus another horse
and the deal was made John told Charles Roberts just to make the check
