Stall and to this union four children were born, two sons and two daughters. He was converted at the age of eighteen years and united with the Missionary Baptist church and was a faithful member and deacon of the Glade Springs Baptist church until death.    He leaves a wife, eleven children, forty grand children and thirteen great grandchildren and many friends to mourn his death.    Ten of the surviving children were with him during his last sickness, and his wife and eight children were at his bedside when he passed away. A short time before he died he called for a song, and while we were singing he rejoiced and tried to sing with us. Then he called the family to his bedside and made a good talk and said I am going home; meet me in heaven. Good-bye.    Uncle Charley Cox, as he was familiarly known, was a staunch Baptist, always ready to contend earnestly for the faith. He loved God, he loved the church, he was a devoted husband and a loving father.    Our hearts are sad we miss him so much. Here the home ties oft are broken here is left the vacant chair. But in heaven we shall meet them, there will be no parting there. No tears will be falling, no hearts will be sad, no friends will be dying. Oh won't I be glad. No hearses in heaven in mournful array, the grave digger's shovel is now laid away.    The funeral sermon was preached by Eld. C. W. Wolfe at the Glade Springs meeting house, and the body was buried in the Oldham graveyard, there to sleep till the resurrection.
