March 7, 1940 Oscar L. Cox President

Mrs. Ellis Singo, Secretary
Estacado Cemetery Association
Lorenzo, Texas


Dear Mrs. Wingo:

I thank you for your letter of March 4th, bringing the first word that I had heard of the organization of a Cemetery Association for Estacado and vicinity.

I have just one inquiry to make, and that is as to whether the cemetery which you are preserving is the one in which my father is buried. I presume that is the case and, if so, shall of course be more than glad to join with you all in contributing toward the annual expense.

With best wishes, and awaiting further word from you, I am,

Very truly yours,
Oscar Cox,
O.L.C.S.

Oscar Cox is a son of Paris Cox, founder of the Quaker Colony at Estacado. Oscar died in 1949. Since such time we have been unable to get any communication from the Cox family.
