In the spring of 1856 one of the saddest chapters in the history of Bedford County was written, after the two young sons of Samuel and  Susanna Cox wandered away from home and into the mountains. The search for the two boys lasted for two weeks and culminated in a gruesome discovery beneath a large tree on the shady  banks of Gypsy Creek. And had it not been for a prophetic dream, the whereabouts of George and Joseph Cox might still remain a mystery.
