The Lost Children of the Alleghenies were two missing brothers from the Appalachia region of the United States in 1856. George and Joseph Cox, then aged seven and five respectively, disappeared from their home in Pavia, Pennsylvania, on April 24, 1856. Their dead bodies were found several days later in the surrounding woods and they were buried in the Mount Union cemetery in nearby Lovely.
There is a small memorial to them in the Spruce Hollow forest in Blue Knob State Park, Pennsylvania.[1]
