Christina Zeun's father was Johann Georg Zeun, a farmer, and her mother was Maria Eva Geibel (born in 1805 in Gronau, Hessen Darmstadt, of parents Johannes Geibel and Katherina Meissinger). Christina immigrated from Germany alone in 1863, and married John August Fox on December 15, 1867 in SS Stephen's Lutheran Church (German) on Hanover St. They had 9 children: John August Fox, Jr., George Francis Fox [see memorial], Minnie Fox [see memorial], Eva Fox [see memorial], Elizabeth Caroline Fox Bahr, Mary E. Fox Meyer-Miller, Pauline Augusta Fox [Lehner] [see memorial], William E. Fox [see memorial], and Harry Fox [see memorial].
Christina ran a florist business at 743 Columbia Ave., with help from her daughter, Mary, and Mary's husband, Frank Meyer, her brother, Valentine Zeun [see memorial], his wife, Maria [see memorial], their daughter Wilhelmina [see memorial] and her husband, William Henderson, as well as her grandson Leonard Marion Bahr. Leonard risked his little life during the 1918 Influenza, delivering flowers and wreaths to the sick and dying, to help his grandmother's business.
In 1891, before the first wooden Lutheran church building was erected in 1892, the congregation of what was to become Our Saviours Evangelical Luthern Church, first met in a post office store at the Fox home.
In very old age, Christina would live with her children's families. It is possible she also worked as a caretaker at Loudon Park Cemetery. She died of chronic nephritis and cystitis. Her grave at Cedar Hill is unmarked, but is next to her husband [see grave photo].
