Unfinished "autobiography" of Manning Cox, circa 1960-1969.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/294960093

This is a partial autobiography of Manning Cox. It was written in the Maynard Hospital during his last illness. The Cox family typed the autobiography and sent it to family members as a Christmas present. They copied it word for word. Unfortunately, it was never finished. The chapter on Bremerton, WA was just begun and the other parts were not even started. On the last page it states: "This is all of the manuscript that was ever written. Mother, Bob and I join in hoping that you may enjoy reading this as much as we did. Typographical errors by Bill Cox." In 1969 the manuscript was picked up at a rummage sale or thrift shop in Yakima, WA with the thought that it might be useful to someone. It was sent to the Washington State Library (WSL) to see if they might be interested in keeping it, which they did. It was sent to WSL by Mrs. Winifred A. Miller of the Yakima Valley Regional Library.
