Hazel Cox was 9 years old when they moved to Goose Creek Road. Before they moved to Goose Creek, Mildred and Hazel went down the lane behind their house and over the hill to the Nursery Road and went to Oakland School. They just went over there two years. Hazel doesn't know exactly. She remembers two different teachers Girtle Latham and Miss Hazel Stepp, taught the lower grades. Miss Ida Jane Franklin was the principal and taught the upper grades. |

| Narrative |  I do want to write a few words about John's wife, Mary Slaton Cox, one of the finest. She is one of the finest women I have ever known, good, conscientious, hard working, and kind. You could never go to their home without a real welcome. Next to my mother, Mary Slaton Cox could bake the finest biscuits (I don't mean this self-rising stuff either) that I have ever eaten. John and Mary were married around 1908. The now living children are as follows: Mildred, Hazel, Dorothy, Ethel, Vern, and Fern (twins).7 |

out for $5.00 more and take the mule back. On another occasion John didn’t admit
it, but there is some evidence that he used a little brown paint brush to paint
up the grey airs around the old mule’s eyes and it made a pretty good trade for
him. On another occasion I recall be bought a little mule up at Morristown, Tenn.,
brought him home, cleaned him up in good shape and he looked like a fine mule.
This same Charles Roberts came around and wanted to trade and told John that
was a fine looking mule, what would he take for it? John gave him a price and
a good one and after the deal was made John told Charley how to keep him
good and slick and fat.
On another occasion which 1 always got a big kick out of, he had bought a
sileage chopper and it was one of the first of its kind in that community. A big
farmer from White Pine, Tenn., a few miles from his home, whom he knew well,
made a contract with John to chop and fill the silos with the new equipment.
This man was one of the wealthy farmers and his wife of Jefferson County, was
just a little uppish. When John took his machinery up to their home, they asked
him what time he wanted breakfast, as they were going to stay at a little hotel in
White Pine. John answered about 5 a.m. The next morning at 5 a.m. they came
in, sat down at the table, and the farmer’s wife said to John, how would you like
your eggs, Mr. Cox? John says never mind the eggs, I’ll just take the gravy. Well,
the lady flustered around a little and hadn’t made any but she went ahead and
made gravy for John. Years after that, every time I would go home, I would call
John and tell him I would just take my bowl of gravy and he always got a big
kick out of it. I wish I had the time and space to write much about my cousin
John Cox, but I haven’t. Needless to say that he is a fine man and a good Christian.
I do want to write a few words about John’s wife, Mary Slaton Cox, one of the
finest. She is one of the finest women I have ever known, good, conscientious,
hard working and kind. You could never go to their home without a real welcome.
Next to my mother, Mary Slaton Cox could bake the finest biscuits (I don’t mean
this self-rising stuff either) that I have ever eaten. John and Mary were married
around 1908. The now living children are as follows: Mildred, Hazel, Dorothy,
Ethel, Vern and Fern (twins).
Mildred, oldest daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, has a disposition much
like the Nichols. She enjoys a good hearty laugh about as well as anyone I know.
Mildred married Lloyd Miller. He is a very good man and a fine farmer, one of
his chief crops is raising tobacco. Lloyd and Mildred have five children, namely,
Mabel, Majorie, Janice and Vivian.
Lois, oldest daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller, married John F. Brown,
He at present is the sheriff of Jefferson County. This is his second term and he
made such a good sheriff in his first term that no one ran against him in his
second term. He is a fine upstanding man. Lois and John have four children,
namely, John, Jr., Linda and the twins Sammy and Danny. John Brown had an
outstanding war record in World War II.
Mabel, second daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller, married Edgar Kyte.
He is a fine baker and they have owned several fine bakeries through East
Tennessee. He was also in World War II. They have three children, namely, twins
Timmy and Edward, and Susan. A year or so ago the two seemed not to make it too
well and Mabel divorced him in 1957. She and her children are now living with
her parents. Mabel is now employed by a large bakery concern in Knoxville.

Marjorie, third daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox miller, married Bobbie
Sams from White Pine, Tenn. Marjorie works as a telephone operator in Morris-
town, Tenn. Bobbie is employed in the post office at Dandridge. Marjorie and
Bobbie have no children.
Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller's other two children, Janice and Vivian are
not married at this time.
Hazel, second daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is truthfully one of the
finest girls of East Tennessee. She never married. A fine business woman and
truly you could call her the Miss Milkmaid of Tennessee, if not'the entire
United States. They, have a large dairy farm and many dairy cows and for a good
number of years since her father’s health has been bad, Hazel has managed to a
large extent the dairy farm. She is much like my oldest brother John. They both
were very, thrifty and John Cox and I might call her a little stingy. She is a fine
Christian woman and she and her father, and mother (John and Mary Cox) help
keep up some missions in Africa as well as being strong supporters of their own
church there near their home. I can only say this about Hazel, she is one of the best.
Dorothy, third daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is quite a gal. She is
quite a talker, when she and I get together we really have a talk-fest. Dorothy's
first marriage was to Conley Caton. They had two children, Barbara and Mary Lou.
Barbara married Bill Clark of Chicago, Illinois, who is a career man in the United
States Navy. They have one child, but at this time I do not know what its name is.
A few years after Dorothy divorced her first husband she married Lynn Blackburn
from Knoxville, Tenn. He is a fine man. To this union two children were born,
namely Lynn Jr. and John. They now reside in Jefferson County near
Dandridge, Tenn.
Ethel, fourth living daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is one of the most
beautiful and fine girls that has ever been my privilege to know. She is a typical
Nichols in stature. She is a graduate of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn. She taught school two or three years in Washington, D. C. She married
Dr. James De Lozier, a fine physician from- Sevier County, Tennessee. To this
union four children were born, namely, Marie, Andrea, Cynthia and James, Jr.
They now reside in California.
Vern, the only living son of John and Mary Slaton Cox, was a twin to Fern.
He has always been more or less a businesslike man instead of a farmer. He never
cared too much for the farm and was in the trucking business. Also, for quite a
few years he would go into Indiana and Illinois and buy up used farm machinery
and bring it into Tennessee and sell it. He married Effie Walker who at the
time of their marriage her father was the Sheriff of Jefferson. County. They have
two children, namely, Mary Louise, and David.
Fern, twin of Vern, daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is a very fine
girl and in disposition much like her mother. She married Victor Sherrod who is
one of the nicest young men that I know in that area. They have four children
namely, Dale, the twins Jane and Jean, and Paul. Victor works at the Atomic Bomb
Plant in Oakridge, Tenn., and they live in that area near Knoxville, Tennessee.
Before leaving the family of John and Mary Slaton Cox, their third child whose
name was Ann, died when she was four or five years old. I remember her so
vividly, her beautiful face and the most beautiful eyes on any child that I have
ever seen and as I remember her, she had such a fine and sweet disposition. As
long as I live, it will always be a fond memory to remember little Ann.

out for $5.00 more and take the mule back. On another occasion John didn’t admit
it, but there is some evidence that he used a little brown paint brush to paint
up the grey airs around the old mule’s eyes and it made a pretty good trade for
him. On another occasion I recall be bought a little mule up at Morristown, Tenn.,
brought him home, cleaned him up in good shape and he looked like a fine mule.
This same Charles Roberts came around and wanted to trade and told John that
was a fine looking mule, what would he take for it? John gave him a price and
a good one and after the deal was made John told Charley how to keep him
good and slick and fat.
On another occasion which 1 always got a big kick out of, he had bought a
sileage chopper and it was one of the first of its kind in that community. A big
farmer from White Pine, Tenn., a few miles from his home, whom he knew well,
made a contract with John to chop and fill the silos with the new equipment.
This man was one of the wealthy farmers and his wife of Jefferson County, was
just a little uppish. When John took his machinery up to their home, they asked
him what time he wanted breakfast, as they were going to stay at a little hotel in
White Pine. John answered about 5 a.m. The next morning at 5 a.m. they came
in, sat down at the table, and the farmer’s wife said to John, how would you like
your eggs, Mr. Cox? John says never mind the eggs, I’ll just take the gravy. Well,
the lady flustered around a little and hadn’t made any but she went ahead and
made gravy for John. Years after that, every time I would go home, I would call
John and tell him I would just take my bowl of gravy and he always got a big
kick out of it. I wish I had the time and space to write much about my cousin
John Cox, but I haven’t. Needless to say that he is a fine man and a good Christian.
I do want to write a few words about John’s wife, Mary Slaton Cox, one of the
finest. She is one of the finest women I have ever known, good, conscientious,
hard working and kind. You could never go to their home without a real welcome.
Next to my mother, Mary Slaton Cox could bake the finest biscuits (I don’t mean
this self-rising stuff either) that I have ever eaten. John and Mary were married
around 1908. The now living children are as follows: Mildred, Hazel, Dorothy,
Ethel, Vern and Fern (twins).
Mildred, oldest daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, has a disposition much
like the Nichols. She enjoys a good hearty laugh about as well as anyone I know.
Mildred married Lloyd Miller. He is a very good man and a fine farmer, one of
his chief crops is raising tobacco. Lloyd and Mildred have five children, namely,
Mabel, Majorie, Janice and Vivian.
Lois, oldest daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller, married John F. Brown,
He at present is the sheriff of Jefferson County. This is his second term and he
made such a good sheriff in his first term that no one ran against him in his
second term. He is a fine upstanding man. Lois and John have four children,
namely, John, Jr., Linda and the twins Sammy and Danny. John Brown had an
outstanding war record in World War II.
Mabel, second daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller, married Edgar Kyte.
He is a fine baker and they have owned several fine bakeries through East
Tennessee. He was also in World War II. They have three children, namely, twins
Timmy and Edward, and Susan. A year or so ago the two seemed not to make it too
well and Mabel divorced him in 1957. She and her children are now living with
her parents. Mabel is now employed by a large bakery concern in Knoxville.

| Narrative | Hazel, second daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is truthfully one of the finest girls of East Tennessee. She never married. A fine business woman and truly you could call her the Miss Milkmaid of Tennessee, if not the entire United States. They have a large dairy farm and many dairy cows and for a good number of years since her father's health has been bad, Hazel has managed to a large extent the dairy farm. She is much like my oldest brother John. They both were very thrifty and John Cox and I might call her a little stingy. She is a fine Christian woman and she and her father and mother (John and Mary Cox) help keep up some missions in Africa as well as being strong supporters of their own church there near their home. I can only say this about Hazel, she is one of the best.1 |

Dorothy, third daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is quite a gal. She is
quite a talker, when she and I get together we really have a talk-fest. Dorothy's
first marriage was to Conley Caton. They had two children, Barbara and Mary Lou.
Barbara married Bill Clark of Chicago, Illinois, who is a career man in the United
States Navy. They have one child, but at this time I do not know what its name is.
A few years after Dorothy divorced her first husband she married Lynn Blackburn
from Knoxville, Tenn. He is a fine man. To this union two children were born,
namely Lynn Jr. and John. They now reside in Jefferson County near
Dandridge, Tenn.
Ethel, fourth living daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is one of the most
beautiful and fine girls that has ever been my privilege to know. She is a typical
Nichols in stature. She is a graduate of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn. She taught school two or three years in Washington, D. C. She married
Dr. James De Lozier, a fine physician from- Sevier County, Tennessee. To this
union four children were born, namely, Marie, Andrea, Cynthia and James, Jr.
They now reside in California.
Vern, the only living son of John and Mary Slaton Cox, was a twin to Fern.
He has always been more or less a businesslike man instead of a farmer. He never
cared too much for the farm and was in the trucking business. Also, for quite a
few years he would go into Indiana and Illinois and buy up used farm machinery
and bring it into Tennessee and sell it. He married Effie Walker who at the
time of their marriage her father was the Sheriff of Jefferson. County. They have
two children, namely, Mary Louise, and David.
Fern, twin of Vern, daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is a very fine
girl and in disposition much like her mother. She married Victor Sherrod who is
one of the nicest young men that I know in that area. They have four children
namely, Dale, the twins Jane and Jean, and Paul. Victor works at the Atomic Bomb
Plant in Oakridge, Tenn., and they live in that area near Knoxville, Tennessee.
Before leaving the family of John and Mary Slaton Cox, their third child whose
name was Ann, died when she was four or five years old. I remember her so
vividly, her beautiful face and the most beautiful eyes on any child that I have
ever seen and as I remember her, she had such a fine and sweet disposition. As
long as I live, it will always be a fond memory to remember little Ann.

Marjorie, third daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox miller, married Bobbie
Sams from White Pine, Tenn. Marjorie works as a telephone operator in Morris-
town, Tenn. Bobbie is employed in the post office at Dandridge. Marjorie and
Bobbie have no children.
Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller's other two children, Janice and Vivian are
not married at this time.
Hazel, second daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is truthfully one of the
finest girls of East Tennessee. She never married. A fine business woman and
truly you could call her the Miss Milkmaid of Tennessee, if not'the entire
United States. They, have a large dairy farm and many dairy cows and for a good
number of years since her father’s health has been bad, Hazel has managed to a
large extent the dairy farm. She is much like my oldest brother John. They both
were very, thrifty and John Cox and I might call her a little stingy. She is a fine
Christian woman and she and her father, and mother (John and Mary Cox) help
keep up some missions in Africa as well as being strong supporters of their own
church there near their home. I can only say this about Hazel, she is one of the best.
Dorothy, third daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is quite a gal. She is
quite a talker, when she and I get together we really have a talk-fest. Dorothy's
first marriage was to Conley Caton. They had two children, Barbara and Mary Lou.
Barbara married Bill Clark of Chicago, Illinois, who is a career man in the United
States Navy. They have one child, but at this time I do not know what its name is.
A few years after Dorothy divorced her first husband she married Lynn Blackburn
from Knoxville, Tenn. He is a fine man. To this union two children were born,
namely Lynn Jr. and John. They now reside in Jefferson County near
Dandridge, Tenn.
Ethel, fourth living daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is one of the most
beautiful and fine girls that has ever been my privilege to know. She is a typical
Nichols in stature. She is a graduate of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn. She taught school two or three years in Washington, D. C. She married
Dr. James De Lozier, a fine physician from- Sevier County, Tennessee. To this
union four children were born, namely, Marie, Andrea, Cynthia and James, Jr.
They now reside in California.
Vern, the only living son of John and Mary Slaton Cox, was a twin to Fern.
He has always been more or less a businesslike man instead of a farmer. He never
cared too much for the farm and was in the trucking business. Also, for quite a
few years he would go into Indiana and Illinois and buy up used farm machinery
and bring it into Tennessee and sell it. He married Effie Walker who at the
time of their marriage her father was the Sheriff of Jefferson. County. They have
two children, namely, Mary Louise, and David.
Fern, twin of Vern, daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is a very fine
girl and in disposition much like her mother. She married Victor Sherrod who is
one of the nicest young men that I know in that area. They have four children
namely, Dale, the twins Jane and Jean, and Paul. Victor works at the Atomic Bomb
Plant in Oakridge, Tenn., and they live in that area near Knoxville, Tennessee.
Before leaving the family of John and Mary Slaton Cox, their third child whose
name was Ann, died when she was four or five years old. I remember her so
vividly, her beautiful face and the most beautiful eyes on any child that I have
ever seen and as I remember her, she had such a fine and sweet disposition. As
long as I live, it will always be a fond memory to remember little Ann.

Marjorie, third daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox miller, married Bobbie
Sams from White Pine, Tenn. Marjorie works as a telephone operator in Morris-
town, Tenn. Bobbie is employed in the post office at Dandridge. Marjorie and
Bobbie have no children.
Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller's other two children, Janice and Vivian are
not married at this time.
Hazel, second daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is truthfully one of the
finest girls of East Tennessee. She never married. A fine business woman and
truly you could call her the Miss Milkmaid of Tennessee, if not'the entire
United States. They, have a large dairy farm and many dairy cows and for a good
number of years since her father’s health has been bad, Hazel has managed to a
large extent the dairy farm. She is much like my oldest brother John. They both
were very, thrifty and John Cox and I might call her a little stingy. She is a fine
Christian woman and she and her father, and mother (John and Mary Cox) help
keep up some missions in Africa as well as being strong supporters of their own
church there near their home. I can only say this about Hazel, she is one of the best.
Dorothy, third daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is quite a gal. She is
quite a talker, when she and I get together we really have a talk-fest. Dorothy's
first marriage was to Conley Caton. They had two children, Barbara and Mary Lou.
Barbara married Bill Clark of Chicago, Illinois, who is a career man in the United
States Navy. They have one child, but at this time I do not know what its name is.
A few years after Dorothy divorced her first husband she married Lynn Blackburn
from Knoxville, Tenn. He is a fine man. To this union two children were born,
namely Lynn Jr. and John. They now reside in Jefferson County near
Dandridge, Tenn.
Ethel, fourth living daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is one of the most
beautiful and fine girls that has ever been my privilege to know. She is a typical
Nichols in stature. She is a graduate of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn. She taught school two or three years in Washington, D. C. She married
Dr. James De Lozier, a fine physician from- Sevier County, Tennessee. To this
union four children were born, namely, Marie, Andrea, Cynthia and James, Jr.
They now reside in California.
Vern, the only living son of John and Mary Slaton Cox, was a twin to Fern.
He has always been more or less a businesslike man instead of a farmer. He never
cared too much for the farm and was in the trucking business. Also, for quite a
few years he would go into Indiana and Illinois and buy up used farm machinery
and bring it into Tennessee and sell it. He married Effie Walker who at the
time of their marriage her father was the Sheriff of Jefferson. County. They have
two children, namely, Mary Louise, and David.
Fern, twin of Vern, daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is a very fine
girl and in disposition much like her mother. She married Victor Sherrod who is
one of the nicest young men that I know in that area. They have four children
namely, Dale, the twins Jane and Jean, and Paul. Victor works at the Atomic Bomb
Plant in Oakridge, Tenn., and they live in that area near Knoxville, Tennessee.
Before leaving the family of John and Mary Slaton Cox, their third child whose
name was Ann, died when she was four or five years old. I remember her so
vividly, her beautiful face and the most beautiful eyes on any child that I have
ever seen and as I remember her, she had such a fine and sweet disposition. As
long as I live, it will always be a fond memory to remember little Ann.

Marjorie, third daughter of Lloyd and Mildred Cox miller, married Bobbie
Sams from White Pine, Tenn. Marjorie works as a telephone operator in Morris-
town, Tenn. Bobbie is employed in the post office at Dandridge. Marjorie and
Bobbie have no children.
Lloyd and Mildred Cox Miller's other two children, Janice and Vivian are
not married at this time.
Hazel, second daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is truthfully one of the
finest girls of East Tennessee. She never married. A fine business woman and
truly you could call her the Miss Milkmaid of Tennessee, if not'the entire
United States. They, have a large dairy farm and many dairy cows and for a good
number of years since her father’s health has been bad, Hazel has managed to a
large extent the dairy farm. She is much like my oldest brother John. They both
were very, thrifty and John Cox and I might call her a little stingy. She is a fine
Christian woman and she and her father, and mother (John and Mary Cox) help
keep up some missions in Africa as well as being strong supporters of their own
church there near their home. I can only say this about Hazel, she is one of the best.
Dorothy, third daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is quite a gal. She is
quite a talker, when she and I get together we really have a talk-fest. Dorothy's
first marriage was to Conley Caton. They had two children, Barbara and Mary Lou.
Barbara married Bill Clark of Chicago, Illinois, who is a career man in the United
States Navy. They have one child, but at this time I do not know what its name is.
A few years after Dorothy divorced her first husband she married Lynn Blackburn
from Knoxville, Tenn. He is a fine man. To this union two children were born,
namely Lynn Jr. and John. They now reside in Jefferson County near
Dandridge, Tenn.
Ethel, fourth living daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is one of the most
beautiful and fine girls that has ever been my privilege to know. She is a typical
Nichols in stature. She is a graduate of Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn. She taught school two or three years in Washington, D. C. She married
Dr. James De Lozier, a fine physician from- Sevier County, Tennessee. To this
union four children were born, namely, Marie, Andrea, Cynthia and James, Jr.
They now reside in California.
Vern, the only living son of John and Mary Slaton Cox, was a twin to Fern.
He has always been more or less a businesslike man instead of a farmer. He never
cared too much for the farm and was in the trucking business. Also, for quite a
few years he would go into Indiana and Illinois and buy up used farm machinery
and bring it into Tennessee and sell it. He married Effie Walker who at the
time of their marriage her father was the Sheriff of Jefferson. County. They have
two children, namely, Mary Louise, and David.
Fern, twin of Vern, daughter of John and Mary Slaton Cox, is a very fine
girl and in disposition much like her mother. She married Victor Sherrod who is
one of the nicest young men that I know in that area. They have four children
namely, Dale, the twins Jane and Jean, and Paul. Victor works at the Atomic Bomb
Plant in Oakridge, Tenn., and they live in that area near Knoxville, Tennessee.
Before leaving the family of John and Mary Slaton Cox, their third child whose
name was Ann, died when she was four or five years old. I remember her so
vividly, her beautiful face and the most beautiful eyes on any child that I have
ever seen and as I remember her, she had such a fine and sweet disposition. As
long as I live, it will always be a fond memory to remember little Ann.
