Rone. Probably published in 1944 by Messenger Job Printing Co., Inc., Owensboro, Kentucky, p. 451. Used by permission. [Daviess] GEORGE HENRY COX: This brother was born in Hawesville, Kentucky, on April 16, 1853. At the age of fifteen he came to Owensboro and entered the office of the Monitor and learned the printer's art. His parents were Robert H. and Harriet Cox. He married Miss Mollie Brannon, a daughter of John H. and Elizabeth Walden Brannon, in November, 1876. They had one son, Ellis Pettit, born January 26, 1882. Brother Cox was converted in the great revival of 1878 and was baptized into the fellowship of the Walnut Street Church by Elder J. M. Peay. He was elected Clerk of the Church in 1879 and served through the year 1883. He became Superintendent of the Sunday School in 1880 and served through the year 1883. He also served as the assistant clerk of the Association from 1886 through 1891; and as clerk of the District Mission Board from 1883 through 1891. He seems to have moved away for a few years after this latter date only to return and place his membership with the First Church in 1894. He served as Corresponding Secretary of the Baptist Ministers' Aid Society from 1899 to 1903 and again served on the District Mission Board from 1905 to 1907. After this date we find him on no accessible record and presume that he moved away again. For a number of years he served as the foreman of the Messenger and Examiner printing office here in Owensboro. Submitted by Sandi Gorin w/permission to post... Rev Jim Crowe
