Cox Furr Post No 65 began in October 1919 with Harry Loriner as commander and George W Johnson as vice commander. It lost its charter in 1923, reorganized in 1927, and has since supported veterans with multiple community services. Current leadership includes James L Moody, a WWII, Korean, and Vietnam veteran, and George O Spear as County Service Officer. The post has hosted Boys and Girls State programs, provided hospital aid, and maintained a veterans building funded postwar.
