Who Was T. Elmer Cox?

If you are interested in genealogical research in Greene County, Tennessee, you'll want to check out the terrific article in today's "Greeneville Sun" online about T. Elmer Cox.

Mr. Cox was a local historian, and the benefactor of what is now known as the T. Elmer Cox Historical and Genealogical Library, which opened on November 14, 2000.

Unfortunately, the library wasn't in existence when I last visited Greeneville in 1994. But it's definitely on my list for the next visit (which I hope follows FGS-Knoxville this summer).

Thanks for all you've done, Mr. Cox. It's about time you received due honors.
