Caleb Lawson (Loss) Hart was a U.S. Marshal in south-central Oklahoma, apparently in Murray County OK & he lived at Stratford. Loss was reportedly part of the posse which hunted down the last of the Dalton Gang after their famous attempt to hold-up the bank at Coffeeville, Kansas. Loss is credited with firing the shot that killed Bill Dalton. I would like to find out more about Loss.
Also, seeking additional information on George W. Cox, who was Deputy Marshal in Tillman County OK, 1906-1913. He lived about 5 miles east of Manitou in Tillman County (this county is northwest of Wichita Falls, Texas). His great-granddaughter (now 86) recalls that this job of Deputy Marshal required him to travel long distances by horse and buggy and to often be gone from home. As a connection to Loss Hart, George W. Cox's daughter Georgiana married in 1898 to James Henry Milton Hart, who was the brother of Loss Hart.
Any additional info would be appreciated on either of these Marshals.
