[Harrison County]   [Cynthiana City and Precinct]

MRS. ADELIA COX, is a daughter of Joseph and Evaline Wiglesworth, of
Virginia, and was married in Cynthiana in 1848, to Henry Cox, by whom she
had eight sons and one daughter.  Henry Cox, the husband of our subject,
who departed this life Dec. 7, 1880, at the age of sixty-four years, ten
months and eighteen days; was the son of WIlliam and Lucy Cox, who
emigrated to America from a small sea-coast town in England, in November
1815, coming to Kentucky from Virginia, where they sojourned for a short
time, and in 1816 Henry was born.  When Henry was only fourteen he
connected himself with the Christian Church, and before he was twenty-one
years of age he set up in the cabinet-making business, which trade he
had learned with his father.  He worked at his trade in Cincinnati and
Lexington; he also started business at Centerville, but not finding it up
to his expectations, he was induced to move to Cynthiana and open business.
After a few years in the cabinet making business with his brother, he sold
out and opened a small grocery store, which he continued with improving
success until 1861, when the war coming on, he sold out and moved to the
country; after a residence in the country several years, having engaged in
the manufacture of woolen goods, he removed to Cynthiana, where he dealt
largely in the productions of the Covington factory, in which he had
become a partner.  He also bought the house and business of C. G. Land,
which he continued several years, and then sold out and turned his
attention to farming and trading, doing an extensive business.  Mr. Cox
was a man of marked decision of character, and possessing more than
ordinary ability and energy.  For many years he was the largest buyer
of stock of all kinds in the county; was well posted in values, of great
discrimination, and yet was just in all his dealings with his fellow
man.  In his family relations he was a model, being invariably kind and
attentive to those around him, and to friends always courteous and
considerate.  In the death of Mr. Cox, Cynthiana lost a citizen whose
void is difficult to fill.
