On Dr. William Haine: ìWilliam later sold this practice and moved his family to 836 Adams Street in Warren Ohio. Dr William traveled extensively, leaving his large family on Adams Street for long periods of time. Due to hard times for the family and to make ends meet, Cornelia and children took in borders. Among them was one young lady, Pearl Abbey, who lived with the Brainards on Atlantic Street, but took her meals with the Haine family. Pearl became close friends with their cousins, the four Cox sisters, then eventually their brother Elmer Cox, whom she married in 1911. Ö Elmer Haine COX 15 June 1884 Clover Hill (Bloomfield) - 30 May 1966. Elmer graduated from Bloomfield High school in 1902, in a graduating class of 3; (Elmer, Emma (Knight) Paden, and Annie (Venn) Humphrey). Following graduation, he attended Ohio State to learn cheese making. He became the head cheese-maker at Clover Hill Factory after his father retired. On September 11, 1911 he married Miss Pearl V Abbey, who was the daughter of Jay and Frances (Smith) Abbey. Pearl was born August 25, 1888 in Smethport, PA over the general store that her father operated. She died in 1981 at the age of 92. Four children were born to Elmer and Pearl, the eldest at Clover Hill, and the two youngest in Warren.
After closing the cheese factory in 1920, Elmer and Pearl decided to go to California for a month's visit. So they put their car on blocks in the garage and left the house in care of family. Charles was 8 years old and Robert 4. They traveled by train to Los Gatos, CA where Pearl's mother, Frances Abbey had settled and was operating The Abbey Inn. While they were there, Pearl became ill with a gallbladder attack. Elmer took a job in an ice cream factory in Fresno, and so they decided to stay on longer, in fact for a year. Charles recalled that he would dream of being back at Clover Hill, and when brother Bob asked if he had taken him along Charles said "No" and Bob cried. They had enjoyed such good times at Clover Hill and couldn't wait to get back home. So in the spring of 1921 the family returned to Ohio -- but not to Clover Hill. They rented out the house at Clover Hill. Elmer got a job with General Motors Sunlight Electric plant in Warren, and they bought a house at 534 Bank Street. Elmer retired from GM after 30 years of service. Grandpa Cox kept "pogy bait" (candy) he called it, on the top shelf in the kitchen. His face would light up, as he passed it out to the kids. He did all the grocery shopping, and every Christmas time would buy a large turkey for the Cox Christmas feast at Clover Hill. The cooks (Mabel & Estella) would hold their breath every year to see if it would fit in the roaster. IT ALWAYS DID!!
Our Christmas dinner was never complete until we had our PLUM PUDDIN' topped with real whipped cream. It was, and still is, a family tradition, the recipe has been banded down from generation to generation. Elmer and Pearl are buried in the Brownwood Cemetery."
