COX
The Cox ranch was located on upper Prairie Dog Creek. J. C. Cox had come out from Nebraska, interested in finding a ranch where he could raise horses. He owned a German Coach stallion and planned to raise colts for light infantry, to be used by the United States and also by the British during the Boer War in South Africa. June 12, 1902, Jay. C. Cox and his wife, Mahalia, bought what was to be the Cox ranch for many years
J. C. And Mahalia had three children, Levada, Tempe, and Samuel. They moved from Nebraska by train, bringing all their possessions in an immigrant car, household furnishings, supplies, horses, and cattle.
