Details: By the death of Mr. James Cox, senr., at the age of 86 years, Fullerton Cove has lost its oldest resident. Born at Buckinghamshire (England) he left for Sydney at the age of nine with his parents in the barque Tory (500 tons), the voyage taking 16 weeks. After landing in Sydney he went to Maitland and later to Hexham. From there he moved to Fullerton Cove, where he assisted his parents in farming. This occupation being rather monotonous and gold being plentiful on the Rocky River, New England, he decided to try his luck on the diggings, but was unsuccessful, and returned to Fullerton Cove. There he obtained land of his own, married, and followed farming successfully, retiring from active work about 30 years ago, The late Mr. Cox was a very active worker for the welfare of the district Being of a very cheerful disposition, and retaining a good memory, he was always an interesting companion, being able to relate events of early days of the first settlers and the progress of Newcastle and surrounding district. He was employed in the construction of the first section of the railway from Newcastle to Waratah. The workers camped in the bush, where Ireland s stores now stands. He remembers the first ferry services between Stockton and Newcastle, which was conducted by the late Mr. Hugh Boyce, of Stockton, by means of a skiff. The landing-place at Newcastle was on the sandy beach where the Great Northern Hotel now stands. On the occasion of the wreck of the Susanna Godfrey, which foundered on Stockton beach, the late Mr. Cox, with others, at great risk, saved many of the crew. Four years ago the late Mr. Cox and Mrs. Cox celebrated their diamond wedding. He is survived by his widow now 84 years old and four sons, John (Stockton), James junr (Fullerton Cove), Anthony (Torrington), and William (Tighes Hill); four daughters Mrs. Joseph Sansom (Salt Ash); Mrs. I. Crockett (Tighes Hill), Mrs. A. Ford (Maitland), Mrs. J. Brown (Gloucester); 51 grandchildren and 62 great grandchildren
