Cox, Venetia, 1892-1979

Venetia Cox, of Winterville, N.C., was born in 1892. Miss Cox was a missionary music teacher in mainland China between 1917 and 1950. Supported by the Episcopal Church, Miss Cox taught for her first twenty years in China at the American Mission School located in the city of Hankow in Hupei Province. However, in 1937 the Japanese invasion of the country forced the personnel (including Miss Cox) and students of the mission to become wanderers for the next thirteen years. Continually uprooted, she moved from province to province; yet, her zest for teaching proved to be inexhaustible. Finally, in 1950 she left China at the request of the newly installed communist regime. She died in Greenville, North Carolina, on January 25, 1979.
