Mr. John Fox died quite suddenly on Tuesday morning, April 5, 1904. Mr. Fox was born April 25, 1830, and had almost reached his seventy-fourth anniversary. His parents were Henry and Susannah Delaney Fox, early settlers of the county. Deceased was one of a family of ten children. He was united in marriage December 13, 1849, to Dorothy Haines, and for almost fifty-five years they enjoyed a happy union together, surrounded by their children.
