General Notes: Husband - David F. Fox
He was reared on his father's farm, attended the public schools and in 1840 rented a farm in East Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, PA, and began life for himself as a farmer. Three years later he purchased a farm in Sewickley township, sold it four years afterwards and bought one in his native township. In 1858 he purchased the old homestead farm and lived on it until 1876, when he bought property at Tarr's station and moved there. While a farmer he made a specialty of stock dealing, in which he was very successful. In politics he adhered to the principles of the Republican party; he belonged with his wife to the church of God at Stonerville.
He and his wife had five children; two were living in 1898.
