Samuel Cox
Samuel Cox (1787-1880) was a Strict and Particular Baptist believer. He was for forty years a faithful member of the Surrey Tabernacle, having witnessed the growth of the congregation under the gospel ministry of James Wells, exchanging three times chapels large enough to accommodate the church. He was as faithful a hearer of the good news as James Wells was a preacher. He was buried at the rear of James Wells’s vault in Nunhead Cemetery.

The Life And Testimony Of Samuel Cox
We had the honour of speaking a few words over the remains of that venerable man, Mr. Samuel Cox, when his beloved family laid the mortal part in the grave, just at the rear of dear James Wells's vault in Nunhead cemetery, on Friday, June 18, 1880. We have attended funerals since 1820—sixty years since—we never saw one more respectably or consistently conducted. We refer not to the religions department, but to the decorum, propriety, affection, and honour of the bereaved family.
