Coleman Lee Cox, 78, of Willis, passed away Friday morning, March 14, 2014, in Floyd. Born in 1935, on Horse Ridge in Floyd County, he was the son of the late James Pogue Cox and Jessie Altizer Cox. Coleman finished mechanic's school in Nashville, in the early 1960s, and moved to Lynchburg, where after working at Vaughn Chevrolet, he opened his own shop, Cox Auto Service, on Campbell Avenue, later moving to Waterlick Road. Coleman and his wife, Eunice, raised their son and two daughters in Forest. Coleman was a farmer and a tinkerer on a large scale. Once on seeing the cost of a bale elevator he said he could build one himself out of scrap and did! Coleman was a fiercely independent man and avid outdoorsman, fishing, hunting, and camping with his family whenever he could leave his business. He loved working in wood and building things. After retiring in the late 1990s, Coleman returned to his roots in his beloved Floyd County, settling in Indian Valley. Coleman spent his retirement cattle farming, woodworking, and adding to his collection of Oliver Tractors. He enjoyed traveling and sightseeing particularly to landmarks, train shows, and community festivals with his adored companion and best friend, Gwelda Puckett Shelton of Mt. Airy, with whom he also attended Indian Grove Baptist Church in Mt. Airy In addition to his parents, Coleman was preceded in death by his wife of 36 years, Eunice Mitchell Cox; two brothers, Phillip Cox and Russell Cox; and an infant son, Darren Lee Cox. In addition to Gwelda, left to cherish his memory are his son, Dennis Coleman Cox, daughter-in-law, Audrey, and granddaughter, Stephanie, of Evington; daughter, Jennifer Andrea Cox of Collierstown and granddaughter, Lilly Clem of Richmond; daughter, Kristie Cox Horton, son-in-law, Michael, and grandson, Matthew of Cartersville; sisters, Effie Higgins of Floyd County, Reba Wade of Christiansburg, and Glenda DeHart and brother-in-law, Arnold, of Bent Mountain; and brothers, Bernard Cox and sister-in-law, Bessie, of Montgomery County, and Allen Cox and sister-in-law, Geneva, of Christiansburg; and sisters-in-law, Patricia Marshall of Dugspur, and Glenda Meador of Roanoke; and brother-in-law, Jerry Hollandsworth of Lynchburg; many nieces and nephews; and long time traveling partners, Wayne Hairfield and Jessie "Jokie" Martin of Fancy Gap, and Mr. and Mrs. Doug Hubbard of Radford with whom Coleman and Gwelda explored many places in Southwest Virginia, and neighboring North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia. A celebration of Coleman's life will be held at Maberry Funeral Home Chapel on Sunday, March 16, 2014, at 2 p.m. Family will receive friends from 1 until 2 p.m. prior to the service. Following the services in Floyd, family and friends are invited to visit at Coleman's home in Indian Valley. Online condolences may be sent by visiting www.maberryfuneralhome.com

The Maltese cross on the grave is the Southern Cross Of Honor, bestowed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy upon Confederate veterans.

The idea of bestowing the Southern Cross of Honor to veterans of the American Civil War was conceived in Atlanta in July 1898 by Mrs. Alexander S. (Mary Ann Lamar Cobb) Erwin of Athens, GA, at a reunion of Confederate veterans. Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Sarah E. Gabbett of Atlanta are credited with the design of the medal: a Maltese cross with a wreath of laurel surrounding the words "Deo Vindice (God our Vindicator) 1861-1865" and the inscription, "Southern Cross of Honor" on the face. On the reverse side is a Confederate battle flag surrounded by a laurel wreath and the words "United Daughters of the Confederacy to the UCV [United Confederate Veterans].

I’m not sure what happened to Delphia after her marriage. She is noted with Tazwell in 1870 but not after that although Tazwell states he is married in 1880 & 1900. And, in 1900 he is with a 13 yo son. Was Delphia his mother? Tazwell does remarry abt 1901 & is with this wife in TN until his death in 1923.
