The Cowboy rode a moonbeam,
To a distant star last night;
His chaps and spurs were quiet,
As he galloped to the light.Round-up time was over;
He knew that time would come;
When cowboys ride that last big ride,
Beyond the shining sun.He kissed his wife and children,
In his heart he said good-bye;
Some say his life is over
They know he is nearby.His friends that went before him,
Are there to lead the way;
They tell him how they've missed him,
Rejoicing on this day.Don't cry for this old cowboy,
He's passed the final test;
The Big Boss called him home tonight.
To find his final rest.

Don L Bell
Born 12 June 1911, Colorado
Married Elvira Cruz, 12 May 1958, Humboldt, Nevada, United States
Died 21 April 2005, Lovell, Big Horn, WyomingDon Bell
June 12, 1911 - April 21, 2005
Don Bell of Byron died Thursday, April 21, 2005, with his family by his side.
Born on June 12, 1911, Don had a love of horses and the open range and everything he did in life had him close to both. He grew up in Eastern Colorado and worked with livestock his entire life. He entered his first rodeo at the age of 12 and spent 17 years as a rodeo contestant.
He worked as a farrier, big game guide, packer and range cowby. A showman at heart, he was a part of the Clyde Miller Wild West Show, the Bill King Roedo Co., and Rufus Rollins' Wild West Show. He worked on movie sets and had small parts in the western movies "Shane" and "Indian Love Call".
Don contested in rough stock events through 1942 competiing in venues like Soldiers Field in Chicago and the Boston Gardens.
In 1943 he served his country in World War II until being honorably discharged in 1945. He served in the 29th Infantry Division - one of the first units to land on Omaha Beach durng the invasion of Normandy. Despite the trememdous losses his infantry experienced, Don survived and became a decorated soldier earning two purple hearts and four bronze stars for his wartime bravery. Don would wear one of the bullets that struck him for the remainder of his life.
It may have been Don's encounter with WWII war correspondent Ernie Pyle that led him on a path to writing following the war. The famed correspondent told Don "Anyone that can tell stories like you should be a writer, " so that's what he did. The rider turned writer began "henpecking" on a Smith-Corona typewriter much like the one Pyle left behind in the foxhole he and Don fled from while under sttack from artillery shells. Like rescuing and old friend, Don retrieved the black Smith -Corona typewriter from the foxhoole and had it shipped back home. Years later he would donate it to the Albuquerque, N.M. museum - where Pyle retired - where it still remains on display today.
In his retirement, Don's love of writing never faded. He continued to write about his life and times while dutifuly serving as a rodeo historian for the Rodeo Historical Society and the Cowboy Hall of Fame. He succeeded at inducting eight cowgirls and four cowboys into the Hall of Fame. He is an original Gold card holding Turtle Association member #868 - the first professional rodeo association and an honorary life card holder of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
As Don said, he has "fooled around with an old typewriter juggling words." In fact his writing career spanned 30 years and he was still being published at age 93. His articles have appeared over the years in Western Horseman, Guideposts Magazine, The Ketchpen - the official publication of the Rodeo Historical Society, True West and Good 'Ol Days. At age 78 he published a book of poetry "Reflections of A Cowboy."
Some of Don's most treasured and weathered belongings like his saddle, lariat, boots and hat are at rest at the Smithsonian Institute's American History Museum in Washington, D.C. In 2000, these artifacts, on loan from the Smithsonian, as well as a life sized image of Don went on display at the Origins All Sports Museum located at The Ballpart in Arlington Texas. In February 2005, Don's longtime friends at Guidepost magazine re-ran one of his first stories originally published in 1976 titled, "The Lonely Trail."
In addition to his public achievements, it was his never ending love of life and positive attitude Don shared with so many that he will be most remembered. Despite his battle with cancer, Don lived for every moment and told stories from his hospital bed to everyone who visited him. As he reminded the Guidepost readers in February, "I'll ride this storm until it takes me home."
Don is survived by his wife of 50 years, Elvira; daughters, Donna Bell of Billings, Vickie Bell Abbott of Meeteetse, Bernadette Bell of Albuquerque, N.M.; and granddaughter, Sarah Dawn Mauthe.
Honoring Don's wishes of no service, the Bell Family is honoring his work of keeping the sport of rodeo alive by establishing The Don Bell Memorial Rodeo Scholarship fund for a Northwest College Student.

Nov. 20, 1912 - Oct. 7, 2009
Dorothy Marie Beall Cozzens, 96, of Byron, died Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009, at her home in Byron. Dorothy was born November 20, 1912 in Green Castle, Mo., to Charles Elza Beall and Effie Pamela Minerva Kent Beall. Dorothy was the youngest of three children and the only daughter. Her older brothers were Clyde and Claude. When Dorothy was 3 the family moved to Wyoming, initially settling in Deaver. Within a couple of years they moved to Lovell where the family finally settled for the next 40 plus years. All three children attended and graduated from Lovell schools. At the age of 12, Dorothy with her long, dark curls was offered a job working at the Busy Corner, a drug store with a soda fountain on Main Street in Lovell. She worked there until finishing high school as president of her senior class at the age of 16. By fall, Dorothy had enrolled in business college in Los Angeles, graduating the following year with a secretarial diploma. Upon her return to Lovell, Dorothy worked mornings at a law office and afternoons and evenings back at the Busy Corner. This is where she met her future husband, Fay Alvern Cozzens of Byron, who worked on rigs in the oil fields in the area. They were married June 10, 1933, in Billings. Due to Fay’s oil field work they were transferred to Southeastern Wyoming and over the first three years of marriage lived in the towns of Medicine Bow, Rock River and Laramie where their first child, Ronald Wayne, was born. In 1935 the family moved to Fay’s hometown of Byron. At that time, there were six oil drilling rigs ‘running’ in the Byron area and Dorothy and Fay thought this created a business opportunity. While Fay continued to work full-time in the local oil fields, they decided that if they were to construct a building on Main Street with business and living quarters under the same roof, Dorothy – with some help – could succeed in running a family business. They contracted for a building to be built to house a confectionary and cafe business in addition to living quarters for them. In June 1936, Byron’s newest business opened, Dot’s Place, named after Dorothy. The business served breakfasts, dinners at noon, and malts, sodas, and sundaes throughout the day. Dot’s Place was busy and successful. By mid-1941, however, the neighboring drilling rigs and crews had moved on to other distant locations and business had noticeably slowed down. This change coincided with the purchase by Dorothy and Fay of a home off of Main Street with more space to raise a growing family. The cafe-confectionary part of the Main Street building was reconfigured and converted into two separate apartments, which were rented out for the next eight years. During this time the couple’s remaining three children were born: Charles Fay, Dorothy Jeanne (Dotty) and Julie Pamelia (Pam). Their four children became Dorothy and Fay’s top priorities. In 1950 Byron’s only grocery store was destroyed by fire and the owners decided not to rebuild. The little town of 315 people was now without a local store. Within a few months, however, Dorothy and Fay converted the former Dot’s Place/apartment building into a grocery store, which soon opened as “Cozzens Cash Store.” In addition to the store, over the years, Dorothy and Fay acquired several single family rental houses and business properties in town. Cozzens Store finally closed in 2008 when Dorothy fully retired at age 95. While Fay continued to work full-time for Marathon Oil and later Montana-Dakota Utilities, Dorothy took on the primary responsibility of running the store. For the first 20 years or so Dorothy hired and worked closely with Essie Littlefield, an experienced clerk from the prior Byron store. Dorothy and “Littlefield”, as she was addressed by most people, became two of the best known people in town. They each became fast friends with the nearby school kids, their teachers, parents and others who regularly shopped at the store. Periodic store help was also contributed by Dorothy and Fay’s kids after school, Saturdays, and over the summer months and by Fay, when he was not at his regular job. Eventually, Dorothy and Fay’s grandchildren began appearing, sometimes moving back to or near Byron with their parents for a few years, or back visiting on vacation, or staying for the summer or for a few weeks or months with Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Fay. To the person, each of these 20 grandchildren was anxious and willing to “help Grandma at the store.” And they did. Dorothy loved to have them assist her at the store. Dorothy played the piano and often sang to her children when they were younger. She was an excellent cook and baker and made the wedding cake for each of her children’s weddings. During the 1950’s, Dorothy became interested in ceramics and set up her own ceramic studio in a separate part of their home. For the next few years, she enjoyed giving evening ceramic lessons to dozens of interested students from Byron and neighboring towns. Dorothy participated in many local school, community and church affairs. She was one of the founding board members of the Byron Improvement Group (BIG) and years later was asked to assist with setting up the town’s first museum. In 1985, local townspeople held a surprise 83rd birthday party for Dorothy and honored her with the title, “Heart of Byron.” After becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the fifties, she and Fay had their marriage solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple on August 28, 1964. After Littlefield retired from the store, Dorothy hired Florence Asay as her store assistant. Dorothy and Fay had been married for 60 years at the time of Fay’s death in 1993. Dorothy continued operating the store with various helpers until 2005 when, at the age of 93, she partnered with three local citizens to remodel, change the format to a convenience store, and provide other operating assistance to her. This change “freed up some time” for Dorothy, so rather than totally retire she opened another “Dot’s Place” in the building next to her store. This time the business offered “antiques, treasures, and collectables” to the public and was a mix of merchandise that Dorothy often thought she would enjoy selling. After a couple of years the store partnership was dissolved and her son, Ron, and his wife returned to Byron to run the store. Within months Ron was diagnosed with cancer, which resulted in his death in June 2007. With additional help Dorothy kept the store open for a few more months but closed it permanently in 2008 and decided to retire full-time this time around. Dorothy was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother her entire life. She loved being in the company of family, extended family and friends. All who knew Dorothy enjoyed being around her. She was known as an outgoing, accepting, optimistic and compassionate person. who showed her love of God through her unselfish service to others. She was a wonderful example of Christ’s statement “Come follow me.” Her family and friends will greatly miss her sense of humor, wise counsel, and her genuine warmth and authenticity. Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Fay; her son Ronald of Coalville, Utah; great-grandson Jaydee Blackburn of Coalville; brothers Clyde and Claude of California; parents Charlie and Effie Beall of Lovell; and numerous extended family members. Dorothy is survived by her children Charles (Cheryl) of Highland, Utah, Dotty White of Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Pam Hopkinson (Glen) of Tucson, Ariz.; 20 grandchildren; 55 great-grandchildren; 35 great-great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law Frankleen Jensen Cozzens of Cowley and Avon Cozzens Brown of Bakersfield, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews. Viewing/visitation will be from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, at Haskell Funeral Home in Lovell. Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Byron LDS Church. Burial will be in the Byron Cemetery
