Wilbur W. Cox “was at one time a less-active member. The story of his return to activity in the Church is a classic example of the Lord intervening and bringing about His will for the growth of His kingdom. President Cox was a powerful manhandsome, intelligent, and forward-looking. While living in Belmont, his wife, Nora, and a family friend, Elizabeth Skolfield Hinckley, were instrumental in reactivating this remarkable man, who became a strong force for good and a legend among members of the Church in the New England area. Under his leadership the scattered branches of the Church from Cape Cod to New Hampshire emerged, providing the foundation and strength for the Church as it exists in New England today.” (Taken from authors' introduction)
