LossChildren Monument Dedication Marked by Speaker
Special to The Washington Post Cumberland Md May 17 Representative John M Reynolds spoke at the second anniversary dedication of the Lost Children of the Alleghenies monument near Everett marking the spot where the missing youths were found fifty two years ago. A special train carried several hundred attendees and Jacob Cox, brother of the Lost Children, died in Johnstown Pa during the event. Daniel Cox, pioneer in the area, saw two of his children Joseph and George wander off decades earlier. The skeletons were found years later, the tree sheltering them fell last year, and part of its trunk now stands beside the memorial erected largely by local schoolchildren.
