HENRY T. COX
	Henry T. Cox. Three miles east from Blue Creek,on land which he 
bought from the railroad company, resides one of the prosperous young men 
of Stevens county. And he has gained his holdings by virtue of his own 
thrift and industry. The birth of the subject of this article occurred in 
Elliott county,Kentucky,on January 18,1871. He is the son of John and 
Rebeka Cox, natives of Lee county,Virginia,who moved to Kentucky in 1868,
but twelve years later returned to Lee county,where they now reside. They 
are the parents of six children:Henry T.,William,Sallie Corner,Nellie 
Hurley,Adeline Gibson,and Dora. Lee county is the place where Mr.Cox 
gained his instructions and he then being twelve,went to live with his 
grandfather. Four years later he assumed the responsibilities of life for 
himself,and wrought at various employments until 1897,when he came to 
Washington and bought the land where he now resides. Among other 
improvements on his farm he has erected good buildings and is handling 
considerable stock.
   In 1892 Mr.Cox married Miss Minnie,daughter of Henry and Dollie (Willis)
Johnson,also natives of Lee county,Virginia. The grandfather of Mrs.Cox was
John Johnson, a captain in the confederate army. Three children have been 
born to our subject and his wife:Carr,Marie and Henry Harrison. Mr.Cox is
a good Democrat and a member of the W.W.
