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 town-ship, sold it four years afterwards and bought one in his native township. In 1858 he pur-chased 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 1890.
