General Notes: Husband - Lutillus Curtis Fox

---

He was about three years of age when his parents removed to Sewickley township,
Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was reared on his father's farm, and attended the local public school, and after completing his studies there went to Indiana, Pennsylvania, where he entered the Indiana Normal School, it being his intention to follow the profession of teacher. He then went to Ada, Ohio, and completed his studies by taking a business and commercial course in an institution there. For some time after graduating from the school in Ada, he actually followed the profession which he had chosen, and became a teacher in the public schools of Hempfield, Sewickley, Mount Pleasant and North Huntington townships, Westmoreland County. In 1893, however, he decided to abandon teaching for a business career, and accordingly established himself in the hardware trade in Irwin, Westmoreland County. His venture proved at once successful and for a period of about twenty-three years he conducted an extensive and prosperous business in that line. Eventually Mr. Fox withdrew from active life and lived in Irwin, in retirement. For many years he was a staunch Presbyterian and became very prominent in the church at Irwin, serving as elder there for a long period. He afterwards joined the United Presbyterian church. He was always a member of the Republican party, and ardently supported its principles and policies and took a great interest in local politics, although purely in the capacity of a private citizen. Mr. Fox was also prominent in social and fraternal circles in Irwin, and was a prominent member of Shidle Lodge, No. 601, Free and Accepted Masons, and of the Royal Arcanum.
