SPARKS FROM CRACK HILL "Sunshine"
Mrs. Augusta Abernathy Cox, wife of Col Ed. R. Cox was the youngest and last survivor of twelve children of the late Col. Colston Abernathy, who was one of the pioneers of
Giles County.
Mrs. Cox has been a member of the church for many years as a certificate shows that she transferred her membership from some other church in 1897 to Rehoboth. She had lived a consistent member for years. Owing to poor health, she was kept in most of the time. Yet she only times the writer ever saw her out from home, was at church. For she was there when health would permit. While her death was sudden, it was not unexpected. It occurred at her home Dec. 28, 1924. She is survived by her husband and six children, Earl, Anna Mae and Lizzie, Mahlon, Mrs. Logan Beasley and Mrs. Charles R. Gilbert of Tennessee. She was 71 years old at the time of death.
Funeral at home by Rev. D. Sledge. Her remains were carried to the family lot at the old home place where she spent her
childhood days to await the resurrection morn.
