In 1937 Cohn and his wife purchased a summer home in Milford, New Jersey. It was at this time Cohn organized the Delaware Valley Artist's Association with Clarence Carter, Louis Bosa, Lee Townsend and Meyer Wolfe. Now residing so closely to the Bethlehem Steel Plant, Cohn often painted the structure plein air. Local police grew wary of this activity, and at one time he was arrested and briefly imprisoned out of suspicion of being a foreign spy.
