MRS. MINNIE COX GRAHAM OBITUARY NOTICE
1862-1911
TAZEWELL, VIRGINIA - Mrs. MINNIE COX GRAHAM, wife of Judge S.C. Graham of Tazewell, VA., died at her home in Tazewell, April 21, 1911.
In the death of Mrs. Graham the Church loses a devoted, active, earnest daughter and the State is deprived of a woman representing the best type of high-bred, high-spirited, pure and useful Virginia womanhood. Her ambitions were to be useful, to be true, to live faithful to the traditions of her people. The splendid old motto, "I serve," was hers through life; in her own family, as wife and mother and queen of her household, and as a potent force in such activities for the public welfare as became her station and her modesty. To her husband she was a loyal and dutiful wife, and affectionate, happy hearted comrade. To her family she was a guarding, tender, watchful guide. To all about her, in her winter home in Florida, in her summer home in Tazewell, she was friend and helper. The humblest knew her ready bounty and quick sympathy and practical aid in their troubles and distress. The highest recognized in her not only an equal but a leader in all that tended to enliven and beautify social life, in every undertaking for the general good; and an unfailing comforter and source of strength in time of sorrow and disaster.
She was born in Chesterfield county, Va., September 23, 1862. Her father was Capt. Henry W. Cox, of the Confederate Army, and her mother, Martha H. Wooldridge. She was of pure Chesterfield county stock, all her people except her paternal great grandfather having been natives and residents of that county since its first settlement in the early Colonial days. Her father's parents were Judge James H. Cox, one of the most distinguished jurists of the State, and Martha Reid Law; her grandmother's father being William Parran Law, born in England. Her mother's parents were Daniel Spencer Wooldridge and Minerva Archer Cox. She was descended from Benjamin Watkins and nearly related to Archibald Cary, both representatives from Chesterfield in the Virginia Convention of 1776.
Mrs. Graham, after the death of her mother in 1871, lived with her grandfather, Mr. Wooldridge, and her aunt, Mrs. T. M. Logan, wife of General T(homas) M(uldrup) Logan, then of Richmond, and in 1878 went to the Edge Hill School near Charlottesville, conducted by the Misses Randolph, where, because of trouble with her eyes, it was necessary for her to have her lessons read to her but notwithstanding this disadvantage, her retentive memory and active and strong mind enable her to be first in her classes. In 1887 she spent several months in Europe and in 1889-90 she lived there, completing by travel, observation and contact with ripened culture of the old countries the broad, comprehensive education for which such excellent foundation had been laid. She acquired accurate knowledge of French and German and ready access to the literature and learning of those languages which she utilized with thoroughness and discrimination.
June 2, 1898, she was married at the summer home of General Logan in Buckingham county, to Judge S. C. Graham of Tazewell. She had become a communicant of the Episcopal Church in 1881.
Always she had been a busy and happy girl and woman. With her new surroundings and opportunities her life broadened and became brighter than ever. Born of long lines of people representing the highest there was of intellect and culture and social graces, and with her own exceptional advantages and acquirements, she was equipped fully to be an influence and useful in many directions. She was one of those who could move through life happily and cheerfully, with instinctive tact avoiding its entanglements and unnecessary annoyances, while ready to face issues when they arose with the dauntless courage and the fidelity to her ideals and her codes that she inherited. Her religion was of the kind that makes itself felt continually and does not need to be proclaimed. She hated cant and loved real righteousness and truth and purity, and in her life illustrated them. She could and did come in contact with men and women of many different kinds and affairs of life and the worked, disseminating the sunshine from her own soul and the delicate odor of her own virtues and taking no stain. She was a member of the Colonial Dames and especially active in the Daughters of the Confederacy, but these were but small parts, comparatively, of the interest that attracted her ceaseless, dynamic energies of mind and body--energies, which, never spared or restrained, probably caused her death in the midst of her happiness and usefulness. She shunned no task and to the last proved herself equal to every demand. Brilliant, of unfailing resources, a scholar of the classics and of contemporaneous thought and literature, she shone in any company; and as hostess, in the conduct of her own household, as taking her part in public affairs, in church work and in the application of her endless charity, she met any emergency smiling, bright and competent. She loved her family, her Church, her State and people and to all of them was intensely loyal and devoted--a strong, pious, splendid Virginia gentlewoman, true to the records of her race.
She was buried at Tazewell, in the Jeffersonville Cemetery, on April 22d, the services of the Church being conducted by the Rev. C. W. Sydnor. She rests among the hills and the Highlanders she knew her husband loved and she had learned to love with him. She leaves surviving her her husband, Judge S. C. Graham; her daughter, Katherine E. Graham, eleven years old; her brother, Edwin P. Cox, of Richmond, and two half sisters, Mrs. V. H. Gottschalk, of Rolla, Missouri, and Mrs. Claude Botsford, of Chillicothe, Missouri, besides a family connection and a circle of friends extending throughout Virginia
