Richard Lile Obituary Generously provided by: FAG contributor HammBoys #46893879 ********************************************* "Doc" Cox (as he was familiarly known by his friends) was born January 8th, 1869, making his stay on earth 67 years, 8 months and 16 days. He was the oldest son of Squire "E.F.S." Cox and Mrs. Jane Hampton Cox. In early life he evidenced a passion for education and diligently pursuing his course he became an alumnus of Emory and Henry College graduating with distinguished honors. He took the law course at the University of Virginia, located in the town of Independence, an institution that he always idolized and loved and thus equipped for the practice of his profession where he has lived ever since. He had ho disposition to accumulate wealth, as measured by dollars and cents, but to him the greatest riches consisted in the development and adornment of the human mind. His greatest pleasures were found, in a well written book or in conversation with a congenial friend. He was companionable, with high social ideas and frequently indulged in advanced thought, sometimes mingled with criticisms, many of which he did not mean—just extravagant remarks dropped for the amusement of others. He was well read and loved classical literature. He had his faults, as you and I no one is perfect but by way of compensation he had many excellent qualities of heart "and in the development, progress and advancement of what he believed to be the greater and patriotic principles of government. He was a good husband, a kind and indulgent father and courteous to friends and acquaintances. He was for many years a member of the Masonic Fraternity of Independence Lodge and was at one time it's Worshipful Masters. He was married to Miss Virginia E. Bourne on January 17th 1900 and had following children, who together with the bereaved widow, survive: Gayle M. Cox, Miss Elizabeth Cox, Mrs. Lewis Preston Bryant, Mrs Joe Bryant, and Mrs. L.D. Phipps. He leaves, to mourn his death, the following brothers and sisters; Joseph T. Cox and Robert M. Cox, Baywood, and Elbert S. Cox and Mrs. F. M. Halsey, Independence. Together with three grandchildren and a large number of friends. He went to sleep, "like one who " wraps the drapery of his couch about hip and lies down to pleasant dreams." Peace to his ashes and eternal rest to his soul. For he consolation of the family, relatives arid friends, let me add in the language of another: "They never quite leave us, our friends who have passed through the shadows of death to the sunlight above, a thousand sweet memories are holding them fast..." Thank you, Elke
