  SIMPSON COX, farmer, P. O. Hutsonville, was born near his present residence in
Crawford County, August 19, 1847. He is the youngest son of Byrant Cox, whose
biography appears in this work. His early life was spent at home assisting in
tilling the soil of his father's farm and receiving such an educating as the
common schools afforded. When he became of age he was given by his father 106
acres of home farm, and he has since remained here engaged actively in farming
and stock-raising. He is now the owner of 460 acres of good land. In Crawford
County, February 11, 1879, he married Miss Olive Newlin, a native of the county,
born February 7, 1847 to Cyrus and Eliza Ann (Hill) Newlin. Mr. and Mrs. Cox are
members of the Christian Church. Mr. Cox is now holding the office of Supervisor.
