William and Oscar Cox's Marriage Record

Several weeks ago I ordered microfilms from the Family History Library. They came in last week and I was anxious to find marriage records for William and Oscar Cox. The film was indexed and I had previously determined that these records were available. William Cox was married twice and both records were on this film. These records are very useful since they list the name of the couple and their parents. Oscar Cox's marriage record was also easily accessible. He married Ella Ora Burchell. Their only child, Beatrice Ora Cox, is my great-grandmother.

Thomas Cox

Benjamin Cox had eight children. Thomas Cox, his youngest son, is my direct ancestor. This past week I did some research in the 1905 Wisconsin State Census. I found the family of Thomas Cox living in Forest, Vernon, Wisconsin. The record was found on Ancestry.com. The surname Cox was very common in Vernon County. I went through the other images for the township of Forest and found William Melvin Cox, Thomas' eldest son. It was an exciting find.
