- Notes:
Richard Ward Cox was born in Orangeville, Utah on March 8, 1920 to Cornelia Thayne Cox and John Henry Cox who had moved from Sanpete County in their early years. He was the ninth of ten children and the seventh boy. He spent his growing up years helping on the farm and doing all the fun things that country boys get to do, like riding horses, swimming in the creek, having potato and corn roasts and girling on bicycles.
He graduated from Central High School where he was active in athletics where he excelled. In these years his father purchased a sawmill that was located on Red Pine Ridge where he spent his summers working. This occupation and the mountains seemed to steal his heart for he was engaged in this form of work one way or another the most part of his life. He was the most happy when he was in the mountains timbering or doing land excavating with heavy machinery.
In 1967 he went to work for the State of Utah as foreman for the State Road at which occupation he held until 1977 when he suffered a severe heart attack and was forced to take a medical retirement. He recovered from this but two years later he was stricken again and was compelled to spend fifteen months in bed very ill. At this date he is much better and is able to spend some time in the mountains that he loves so once more.(1980)
