There are eighteen grand children and two Great Grand children. Soon after the war Bro. Fox bought a fifty acres tract of land three miles South of Campbell, paid for it with a pair of cotton cards, the land then valued at $5 to $10 per acre. On July 18, 1900 the writer had the privilege of baptizing him and one daughter in a tank on his own home, where he had toiled and raised his family. Bro. Fox was a quiet citizen. Attended strictly to his own business but he has gone to his long resting place and our next meeting will be at the Judgment. We pray God's richest blessings on those left behind.
