Found Dead In Sheep Wagon By Companion With Bullet Hole Through Temple
Milton J. Cozzens, age 33 years, who resides at Byron, was found dead in a sheep wagon by Leonard Hardee, a companion, last Friday morning with a bullet hole through his head from a 44-calibre rifle. From appearances it was a case of suicide, although there is doubt in the minds of many, for his death might have been accidental.
The tragedy occurred along the Shoshone river, above Penrose where the unfortunate man and his companion, Leonard Hardee, had been tending a band of sheep for the Nuckols & Cozzens sheep firm. The two men had eaten their breakfast that morning and had gone out to look after the sheep, when suddenly Cozzens returned to the wagon and very shortly afterward was followed there by Hardee, who was alarmed at the sound of the rifle. He found Cozzens already dead, having been shot through the temple and the bullet going out the other side of his head. There was no hope for a sign of life in the body that lay on the floor of the wagon, but Hardee ran to the Elmer Hopkins ranch to secure Mr. Hopkins aid in doing anything possible that might restore signs of life. Later Joe Cozzens, brother of the man, appeared upon the scene. County Coroner Vogel was called down from Cody, and he declared the man to have died from a self-inflicted wound, quite probably a case of suicide, and no inquest was deemed necessary.
It develops that Cozzens had been in a state of mental worry for a week, although no financial setbacks could have caused his state of mind, for he is declared to have been successful in his road contracting over in the Jackson Hole country, where he had been all summer and up to late in the fall. He was a good, steady fellow and popular about Byron, in which community he had lived for more than twenty years. He was born in the Star valley country in southwestern Wyoming. He leaves a wife and three step-children, two boys and a girl. His mother, Mrs. Sarah J. Cozzens, survives him at Byron, also four brothers, Matt, Joe and Paul of Byron and Dave of Salt Lake City. A sister, Mrs. Martha Palmer resides in Billings,
The funeral was held last Saturday morning at Byron, and burial was made, in the cemetey of that place.

Died 20 Jan 1957, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
Buried 24 Jan, ThursdayWayne lived outdoors whenever his parents would consent and hardly ever had a sick day in his life, no warning or inkling of that dread disease, leukemia, overtaking him in his young and tender years. He was out playing with the other boys, sleigh riding and other outdoor sports when he received a severe bump on his nose, causing a blood hemorrhage. This happened in the early spring of 1956, Mar. 11. Unable to get the bleeding stopped, he was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. As the nose bleed was of unusual severity, the attending physician had blood tests taken to confirm his suspicions which proved it to be leukemia.
Since that date Wayne has made regular trips to the specialists in Salt Lake City, and in the fall his parents moved there so as to be there for any good that could come of what the doctors could do or might discover.
In spite of care and everything that parents, doctors and friends could do, his vitality kept failing and he passed away at 6:55 a.m. Sunday morning, Jan 20. He died at the tender age of six years just ten months from the time it was discovered he had leukemia. Through all the last weeks of his illness he stood what they had given him and never complained of his lot. The doctors and nurses called him the "Okay Boy" because no matter how sick he was, whenever anyone asked him how he felt, he always answered "I'm okay." Wayne age 6, died of leukemia in Salt Lake City Sunday. He had been ill the past ten months.
