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.

He died a few years ago; and is buried in the Morristown Cemetery.

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.
