Dewey Cockrell, a son of Pattie Jane Lambert and David Alexander Cockrell, was born at Hunter, Okla. Sept. 1, 1898. He was one of a family of fourteen children raised on a farm with lots of hard work and not too much recreation. When there was some leisure time he would go fishing and play baseball.
When he became a young man, he went into the oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma, and from there came to Wyoming in 1934.
On Aug. 15, 1936, he married Edna Durfee and to this union, three sons and two daughters were born. Dewey had worked in most of the oil fields of Wyoming, but later in life he retired from this strenuous work and became a painter.
He was a man who loved the outdoors and spent as much of his time as he could hunting and fishing with his boys.
He passed away early Saturday morning in North Big Horn hospital.
Surviving him are his wife Edna; three sons, Ronald, Charles and Ralph; two daughters, Mrs. Roberta Snell and Connie Cockrell, all of Lovell; one granddaughter, Sydney Rae Snell; four brothers, Bernie of Tonkawa, Okla., Charlie of Perry, Okla., Claude of Hunter, Okla., his twin brother Dennis of Enid, Okla.; four sisters, Mrs. Maude Lang of Enid, Mrs. Alice Beeson of Moorewood, Okla., Mrs. Effie Greeta of Los Angeles, Calif and Mrs. Della Cross of Stillwater, Okla.
