REV. JESSE COX

Departed this life, July the 12th, Rev. Jesse Cox, in the seventy fifth year of his age.

Elder Cox was a native of South Carolina, and moved to Kentucky about forty years ago; he was early the subject of religious impressions. When quite a youth he sought the society of Christians, listened with great attention to religious conversation, and feeling himself a sinner, he was led to the foot of the cross. He was relieved, after a time, of his distress; but so gradual was the work of grace on his heart that he scarcely knew how or when the change took place, which led him often to doubt the reality of his conversion.

He was baptized Nov. 22, 1802, and united with others in holding prayer meetings. After he came to Kentucky he united with the Dry Creek Church, which is the oldest in Trigg county.

Being zealous in the cause of religion, and feeling it his duty to preach the Gospel, he was permitted to exercise his gift in that way. Elder Cox was a poor man, with a very limited education, in consequence of which he labored under great embarrassments. He was not ordained until the 2nd of Sept., 1835. After his ordination his labors were abundantly blest.

He visited the upper part of Calloway county, then a destitute region, where he preached and baptized a good many converts. Two of them (Elders Hodges and Skinner) are now successful Ministers of the Gospel. Elder Cox was not an able preacher, but a warm and zealous exhorter, which, with his great piety, made him eminently useful. Never shall I forget his pathetic exhortations to his children and grandchildren; he would tell them he could not long remain on earth; that he wanted them all to meet him in heaven.

Father Cox was afflicted for many years with a swelling in his feet and ankles, which no doubt brought him to his end. During his last sickness the swelling advanced upwards until it reached his body. He was confined to his room three or four months before his death. I visited him twice or three times during his sickness, and found him always disposed to talk on the subject of religion. He told me the grave looked cold and gloomy at times, "but," said he, "my trust is in Jesus." I am informed by his friends that a day or two before his death his faith grew strong, all gloom was dissipated and he was fully resigned to death. Being in his senses, and suffering but little pain, he closed his eyes himself, and with a smile on his countenance bid the world adieu.

"Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." ps. 37. 37.
