5/25 update from findagrave contributor:
"I just thought I'd inform you that Mr. Cosner attended Montana State University and played professional football for the Chicago Cardinals in 1939! I have added him to a virtual cemetery I've created for Golden-Age (pre-1960) NFL football players.
To find it, just look under my name.
Best regards, David W. Coleman"

And:
"Don Cosner was the son of Rubye S. (1895-1983) by her first marriage. Her maiden name and married name unknown. About 1924, she married Clarence William Cosner (1891-1951). He adopted Don and changed last name to Cosner. You can find Clarence, Rubye and Don in 1930 and 1940 censuses. Clarence was a Philbrick and was also adopted and given name Cosner. Clarence and Rubye are buried in Bozeman and can be found on Find a Grave. Rubye's gravestone indicated d. 1984 but records indicate 1983.
Cosners are a branch of Wiggins family that I track."
