In order to disassociate from this scandal, the father John Jackson Cozad became Richard Henry Lee. A son became Frank Southern, and the son named Robert Henry Cozas became “Robert Henri”; later a well-known artist. They are all buried in the same plot.∼John Anthony Cozad, son of John Jackson Cozad and Theresa GATEWOOD; born (date & place unknown); died 07 August 1933, (place unknown); buried (cemetery & place unknown).
