About Florian Cox Gex

Florian Cox Gex was mortally injured on May 8, 1920, when riding his horse. The horse stumbled in a coyote hole, the girth broke, horse did a somersault landing on Florian with the saddle horn between them. His liver was crushed and the intestines ruptured in five places.

Florian was nicknamed "Primrose" as a baby because of a photograph showing him sitting in or in front of a bed of primrose. As he grew older his nickname devolved to "Prim" which he was called the rest of his life.,

(From notes written by daughter Mary Charlotte Gex Greer on 11 November 1974)
