                      J. B. Coxwell, Stillmore
 METTER, Ga., June 14 -- J. Benjamin Coxwell, aged 66, died at his residence 
one mile north of Stillmore at ten o'clock Monday night following a prolonged 
illness. Mr. Coxwell had been confined to his bed for a number of weeks with a 
malady, recovering from which was hopeless, but demonstrated Christian courage 
and foritude to the last.
 The son of Jeremiah J. Coxwell, a native of Texas, and Martha Jane Kitchens, 
also of Texas, he was born at Gibson, Ga., where his aprents migrated early 
after their marriage. Mr. Coxwell moved to Stillmore when a young man and 
continued his residence there. He was considered one of the pioneers and was 
identified with forward movements of his town and community. He married Mary 
Etta Cannady, a member of one of the oldest and most respected families of 
Emanuel County.
 Mr. Coxwell is survived by his wife and four daughters, Mrs. Floyd Smith, 
Stillmore, Mrs. A. R. Tyer, Louisville, Ky., Miss Erchie Coxwell, Stillmore, 
and Miss Cola Coxwell, Metter and one son, Devoy Coxwell, Atlanta, and six 
grandchildren.
 Funeral services will be held from Stillmore Primitive Baptist Church 
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock with Elders S. M. Claxton of Wesley, A. R. 
Crumpton of Bellville, and R. H. Cooper officiating, with burial to follow in 
Warren Cemetery near Stillmore. Albert Durden, Ivey Durden, Alex Hughes, Melton 
Boyd, J. K. Waddell, and Bobbie Warren will serve as pallbearers.

Additional Comments:
Jeremiah was born 28 Apr 1872. His parents are born in Sand Hill Cemetery in 
Emanuel County, Ga. This obituary appears incorrect as to his parents being 
natives of Texas. They were in fact born in Georgia and most likely in 
Jefferson County.
