    Notes:

    According to his death certificate, James Logan Cox died due to an auto accident. He apparently died at the scene or shortly thereafter since his death certificate said he was at the location of his death 1 day and it was outside the city limits (rather than at Harriman Hospital, which was inside the city limits). He suffered a fractured skull, fractured back, and broken ribs. The death certificate identifies the interval between onset and death as "sudden".

    His occupation is listed as "farmer."

    The death certificate also identifies his parents as Robert and Mary Cox and his wife as Gypsie Cox of Oliver Springs Rt #2.


    On an unsourced family tree notation in Ancestry. John Alexander Logan Cox and family are listed as in the Orchard View community in Roane County. This would be an area on the Old Harriman Highway that runs parallel to Highway 61 between Oliver Springs and Harriman.

    The middle name of "Alexander" quite possibly does not belong to John Logan (or sometimes referred to as Logan J) Cox. It does not appear on his death certificate nor in census records. There are, however, a John Alexander Cox and a John A Cox in Knox County. Since the name "Alexander" is shown on one family tree (and several others that have the exact same information", it could be that an original poster confused the two John Coxes and everyone copied from that poster--as Ancestry.com trees frequently do.

    Early in their marriage, according to the 1910 census, John was a Sawyer in a Steam Mill.

    By 1920 John Logan was a farmer and he and Gypsie had 5 children: Ina, Carl, Elmer, Elden and Albert.

    In the 1930 census, John Logan Cox was a timber inspector for the lumber industry. They have added a son, John Richard Cox, and a daughter, Mildred C Cox, to their family.

    In 1940 he is listed as a farmer owning his own land, with zero income from farming but income from another (unidentified) source. They have added Mary Helen to their list of children. Their household is listed as on May Valley Road.

    Also in their household is Edna Ruth Nelson Cox, daughter-in-law, married to Elden Walter Cox.

    Although he did not serve in the military according to family members, he does have a WWII draft

    Notes:

    Obituary for Johnny C. Cox
    Johnny Carl Cox, of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, passed away Friday, June 2, 2023. The family is deeply saddened. Johnny was born August 11, 1940, in Oliver Springs, Tennessee. He lived in Coalfield for the majority of his life. He served his country in the Air Force; owned his own “film reprocessing” company, Demco, for many years, and retired from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. After retirement, he kept himself busy selling real estate.

    Johnny never met a stranger and all who met him loved him. He could light up a room with his big smile and trademark thumbs up. His mischievous sense of humor kept his friends and family laughing. Johnny was active in the Tennessee Walking Horse business for many years and worked with friends on a horse show at Roane State each year that raised money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In later years of his life, his favorite place was Caney Creek Marina and spending time with friends there and at Gizmo. Even when he was a resident at the Veteran’s Home, he insisted on a tee shirt every year from the Gizmo Jam.

    Johnny was preceded in death by his parents Carl and Eloise Cox of Oliver Springs and wife Joyce Cox of Coalfield, Tennessee, and his beloved dog Sam. He is survived by his wife Donna Cox of Oak Ridge, son John and wife Becky of Roane County, son Jeff Cox of Coalfield; grandchildren Brooklyn Nelson (Josh), Walter Cox (Jen), Kari Payne (Casey), Mackenzie Godwin (Cameron); great grandchildren Trinity Cox, Killian Payne, Atticus Cox, Josslyn Nelson, Anika Nelson, Jericho Nelson, Asher Nelson; sister Wanda Lou Walls (Royce) and brother Jerry Cox (Annie); brother in law Steve Stahl and wife Linda; numerous nieces and nephews and many close family and friends.

    A gathering of remembrance to celebrate Johnny’s life will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, August 13, 2023 at the Kyker Funeral Home in Harriman.
