Biography

Colonel Frank Coxe was born in 1839 on Green River Plantation Rutherford County, NC to Francis Sidney Coxe and Jane McBee Alexander. Col. Frank Coxe fought for both the Union and the Confederacy as recorded in papers found after his death. He apparently had two proxies who served his duty on both sides of the war. Following the Civil War, Col. Frank Coxe increased his land holdings in western North Carolina and his familial Pennsylvania anthracite coal interests, becoming a man of substantial wealth. In 1881, he moved to Charlotte where he became the Vice-President of the Western North Carolina railroad, the first railroad to traverse the mountains of western North Carolina. The railroad came to western North Carolina largely through the funding of Col. Frank Coxe and the tourists came largely because of the railroad. Shortly after 1881, Col. Coxe moved to Asheville where he purchased large tracts of land. In 1886, Col. Coxe built the famous Battery Park Hotel, welcoming such patrons as Franklin Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, William McKinley, William Henry Harrison, and George Vanderbilt. Col. Frank Coxe died in 1903 at Green River Plantation Rutherford County, NC.
