Cyrene McKissack was born on March 31, 1889, at Springview, Neb., the daughter of Wiliam Riley McKissack and Ellen Evens. They came to Wyoming in 1930, engaging in the stock business at Van Tassell and Keeline.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacox moved to Lusk in 1940, when ill health forced their retirement. Repeated strokes followed the stroke in December.

Her husband preceded her in death May 9, 1950. Survivors are her two brothers, Karl McKissack of Phoenix, Arizona, and Claud of Redondo Beach, California.
