Born to Clarence Elmer Cox and Adeline Ada Earpe Cox. He married Lorna Colton on 2 July 1938 in San Franciso, California. They had four children: Michael Charles, Stephen Tony, Gerald Colton, and Richard Colton Cox.

He spent many year as a soldier, beginning with World War II where he was a Lieutenant, and then he continued to serve in areas such as Korea, Japan, Wisconsin, and Europe. When he retired from the service as a Lieutenant Colonel, he taught school as a special education teacher. The John Sampson Hacking Family Bulletin #9-1974 said he was deeply involved with students with special needs as well as ecological ventures in the California deserts. They were living in Palm Desert, California at that point.

Elmer was a very active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint, which he joined as an adult. His wife Lorna was descended from early pioneers of the Church, but Elmer was the only member of his family.
