Mittie A. Cox Green is my great grandmother. I have often read your website
(http://nmahgp.genealogyvillage.com/lincoln/holliday_babyburial.htm)
while I have been piecing together the Cox family history. I think that the
attached is Alice (standing in the photo), but truthfully, I cannot be sure. I
know that the girl seated is Mittie Cox Green through other family photos in my
possession. I can't help you with the baby grave, although I would like to. I
am attaching the probate of Alice's father. She was 19 at the time. Sonja

eyes with a twinkle that showed both honesty and kindness. He and his wife
had six children, all girls. Henry Cox was a stockman and he and his brother
Erwin had trailed about five hundred head of cattle from the Nueces River to
the Davis Mountains in search of a better range. Several members of his
family, including one daughter, a brother and six cousins, had been killed
by the Indians during the time that the family had lived in the Nueces
Country of Texas. Cox had taken part in several Indian fights and
entertained the two young men (Ben and Steve Kemp), with his many stories of
his experiences.
