Who or what was "Tom Mix" ????

When you figure that one out, Tom Mix was also a pallbearer at the funeral of a famous person mentioned recently in this thread. Who was that person?

Rex Allen was a singing cowboy in the era of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. I recall going to the Saturday shoot-em-ups, and before the movie started, there was a short feature where Roy Rogers introduced Rex Allen as an up and coming cowboy movie star! Seems like his horse was famous too, but I can't recall his name right now.

Tom Mix was also a real live sheriff, in Arizona as I recall. He was killed ca. 1942 in his Cord automobile.

Tom mix was killed when his auto crashed at a washed out bridge north of Tucson. There is a plack on what what use to be hwy 80, now state rout 79.

Rex Allen was known as the last Singing Cowboy. He actually A cowboy. Horse's name I think was named "Kiki", may be wrong.

South of Phoenix AZ, near the end of WW2 was an famous (infamous) happening. It was in an area know as "Papago park."
What happened???
