aka Preston Cumberland Cox, s/o Dica Quesenberry; father a Cox & Preston chose to use the Cox surname. Raised by Asa W. & Julia Ann (Slusher) Harman. [Death Cert] [Quesenberry_Sarah_GeorgeS] Preston Cumberland Cox, is an interesting story. His father a Cox, mother Dica Quesenberry who had 5 children but was never married. Generally, children of such a union would retain their mother’s surname but Preston chose to use the Cox surname. This MAY indicate his father maintained a connection with Preston. Story goes, Preston was 1st cared for by a Hylton family until they moved to Indiana. Next was with an Asa W. & Julia Ann (Slusher) Harman family that raised him to adulthood. Whether he was “legally” adopted or not, Preston kept the surname of Cox but maintained his relationship with his foster parents, living near them & was even the “Informant” on their death certificates. Their file is where you’ll find more information on Preston & his family. [Harman_JacobS_Sophia]

Lois was born on December 8, 1922. She graduated from Floyd High School and attended Madison College for 2 years. During World War II she began working as a laboratory technician at the Radford Powder Plant now the Radford Army Arsenal. In December 1945, she married J.

She remained in that profession for 32 years. She loved God and enjoyed church at Laurel Branch Church of the Brethren where she had attended since childhood. Her church family was an important part of her life. She loved her church and was a faithful member. She was involved in every aspect of church activities. She was always ready to help everyone from teaching to bringing food to every church dinner. She enjoyed flowers and growing things, cooking, and especially spending time with her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Luther and Carsie Bowman; husband, J. Edward Slusher; sisters, Esther Trail and Ruby Castle; brother, David Bowman; and other loved family members.

She is survived by her daughter, Judy Shockey; granddaughters, Robyn Cicarelli (Pat) and Amanda Rogers (James); great-grandson, Killian Rogers; sister, Joyce Pugh (Leslie); and numerous nieces and nephews.
