Author of Before and After Mt Pisgah
Cousin Howard R. Driggs was born about 1877, a son of Rosalie Cox Driggs of Pleasant Grove, Utah, daughter of F. Walter Cox of Manti, Utah.
Around 1900, Howard was much interested in family history. At a reunion, he assigned to each aunt to write her pioneer memories. Several copies of each one have been typed since the aunts died.
Later, Howard spent his time on Utah and Western History.
After Howard's death, his young second wife Margaret looked over his stacks of papers and books and manuscripts. She gave a lot of them to cousin Clare Christensen in American Fork. From a Cox/Tuttle School Teacher cousin in Nephi, Clare got another box of manuscripts. Clare also went to Manti for more pioneer manuscripts. Clare is a son of Howard's sister, Maud Driggs Christensen. He has gathered up so many of these old manuscripts and is writing a Cox history and trying so carefully to get dates and places accurate.
He figures that when grandfather Orville S. Cox was endowed in the Nauvoo Temple in January or February, 1846, they recorded the place where he was born, Owego, NY
In Manti, aunt Ada hired Peter Poulsen to keep the Cox and Mills temple books for the family and he spelled the town wrong, making it the wrong town, Oswego, many miles, 50 or 75 or 100, away from where the Coxes lived.
