Obituary: Saguache Crescent, October 2002
Louis Cox, beloved husband, father, and Papa went to the wonderful last roundup on October 4, 2002 in Prescott, Arizona [actually the date was October 2, 2002].
He is survived by his wife, Ruth, of the family home, six children: Darol (Polly) Cox and Carl (Ellen) Cox of Saguache; Louis Lynn (Billie) Cox of Logan, New Mexico; Carol (Lonnie) Covington of Showlow, Arizona; Harley Cox of Chino Valley, Arizona, and Lola (Vance) Bell, of Baker, Louisiana, and one sister, Mary Evelyn Cox Gardner of Grants Pass, Oregon. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren: Tyler, Melissa, Shane, Tate, Sabrina, Vern, Brishette, Lori, Loren, Phillip, Rebecca, Justina, Rafel, Shelly and Tally and 4 step-grandchildren: Cody, Jennifer, Jason, and Zoey; 10 great-grandchildren: Jasmyn, Louis, Lisa, Kathleen, Sarannah, Brandon, Ericka, Justin, Triston, and Trinity.
He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Joe Cox.
Louis was born June 20, 1915 to William Paton Cox and Anna Helen Vavak Cox in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. At the age of 3 his family moved to Hooper, Colorado and later to Saguache. He graduated from Saguache Highschool in 1936. He married Ruth Eleanor Ward on March 31, 1936. He went to work for the Federal Biological Survey during the summers and ranched the rest of the year. In 1947 Louis moved his family to Arizona where he worked for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service until his retirement in 1977. Louis then moved to the V7 Ranch near Flagstaff, Arizona and managed that operation until 1987 when he retired a second time.
Louis was a Past Patron of Minnehaha Chapter No. 48, Order of the Eastern Star and a Past Master of Olive Branch Lodge No. 32 AF & AM in Saguache, Colorado. He was a sponsor of DeMolay for boys and was active in the Future Farmer's of America and 4H Clubs. He enjoyed square dancing and also taught square dancing classes. He enjoyed his family, friends, and neighbors. He never knew a stranger and made friends easily. We will miss our "Old Cowboy" and all his cowboying, hunting and trapping stories.
