Education and career

Born in Utica, New York, on May 7, 1880, Coxe received an Artium Baccalaureus degree from Yale University in 1901 then attended Cornell Law School. He was in private practice in Utica from 1903 to 1905, and in New York City from 1905 to 1929.[1] In 1911 he helped found The New York Young Republican Club.[2]

Federal judicial service

Coxe was nominated by President Herbert Hoover on April 18, 1929, to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, to a new seat authorized by 45 Stat. 1317. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on April 29, 1929, and received his commission on May 1, 1929. He assumed senior status on January 31, 1951. His service terminated on December 21, 1957, due to his death in Old Lyme, Connecticut.[1] He was interred in Forest Hill Cemetery in Utica.[3]

Family

Coxe was the son of Alfred Conkling Coxe Sr., who was a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and the great-grandson of Alfred Conkling, who served as a United States Representative from upstate New York and a judge on the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York. He was also a grand nephew of Roscoe Conkling, who was a Congressman and Senator from New York and boss of the state's Republican political machine. Coxe's great-grandfather was abolitionist minister Samuel Hanson Cox.

gollark: Pedals are uncool.
gollark: So if you have a set of electric cars with small batteries - enough to travel within a city and near it - available for rent, and you don't suffer too much overhead from having to rent them out, that could conceivably be a good method of transport.
gollark: Electric cars are expensive *partly* because they need batteries for hundred-mile journeys, even though most actually won't be this long. And cars are kind of inefficient because most of the time they're left idling.
