Vogle Cox, of Lead, one of the members of the several contingents which left Lawrence county, is dead at Fort Riley, Kansas, according to a message received her today. On receipt of news of his serious illness, his mother left for that camp yesterday, but he died long before she could have reached him. He has a brother in the army, training at Camp Fremont, California."
Deadwood Pioneer-Times, October 18, 1918 - "Word has also come that Vogle Cox, another Lead young man, had passed away at Fort Riley, and that his body would be sent to his former home for burial. He too, like all who have gone from the county, went willingly and with a determination to do his full duty and to make gladly any sacrifice for the honor of his country. He, too, has given his life, and has died as gloriously in the cause of his country as have those who have passed away amid the turmoil and the clash of battle."
Lead Daily Call, October 22, 1918 - "The body of Vogle Cox who died of pneumonia at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, Mich., arrived in Lead this afternoon, accompanied by Sergeant C. Rosborough, who returns to that camp on the Northwestern this evening. This afternoon the Sergeant expressed the wish that the Call let the people of Lead know that Vogle was most highly regarded by the officers and men with whom he was associated since entering the service and that the sincere sympathy of these men is extended to the family of the deceased boy in Lead."
