STRATTON – The Dead River Area Historical Society will feature “The Cox Family” from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10.

Years ago people raised large families. The Stratton-Eustis area had many large families and the Dead River Area Historical Society has some pictures of the families. The society has three albums of the Cox family, most of which are identified. Anyone who may be or know someone from that family is asked to share their knowledge and photographs.

On display in the museum are artifacts, manuscripts and photographs that have been donated or loaned by interested townspeople and descendants of original families of the Dead River Region.

Collections from 1850 on include old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads.
