Taberg - Henry Fox, an old soldier, dead - Henry Fox was born in the town of Lee about four miles north of Lee Center, on the Point Rock Road, December 28, 1842, and departed this life at his home in Taberg January 8 at 3:45 am. His disease was that fatal one, Bright's disease, but with medical aid and skill to help him and the most kind and tender care of his beloved wife and other members of his family, he put up a hard fight to overcome the power of the disease, but all to no avail. He would rally at times and give the family great hopes of his recovery, but suddenly again and again he would be stricken down and finally gave way to its power. Last fall he sold his farm in Lee, and retired with his wife to live in this village. He was a farmer all his life, living on the old Fox homestead until coming to this village. He enlisted as a volunteer in November 1861, in Battery H, Third regiment of Artillery, and served four years, receiving his honorable discharge January 4, 1864. After his return home he was united in marriage with Adelia Garvin, March 17, 1870. Of this marriage four children were born to them, one departing this life some years ago, with the following three remaining, together with his wife to mourn the loss of a loving and kind husband and father, Frank Fox of Montana, Mrs. Charles H. Brandes and Clinton Fox of Rome. He leaves four brothers, Charles and George J. of Lee Center, Albert of Rome and Edson of Bouckville, Madison county. Mr. Fox attended the M.E. Church and was a member of Ballard Post, No 551, GAR, of Taberg. He was a good neighbor, a good and loyal citizen, a kind husband and a loving father, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends.
