Married Jesse Williams Fox, 2 Jun 1849, Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa
Children - Lucy Georgiana Fox, Jesse Williams Fox, Francis Ellen Fox, Eliza Jerusha Fox, James Edward Fox, William Henry Gibbs
Obituary - Eliza Jerusha Gibbs Fox, wife of Jesse W. Fox, was born May 8, 1831 at Benson, Rutland County, Vermont. Her mother was a sister of Gideon Carter, who was killed in the Battle of the Crooked River, in the Missouri persecutions; also of John Carter, the first to fall victim of cholera of Zion’s Camp of which he was a member.
Her mother joined the church in Vermont shortly after it was organized and removed to Kirtland in 1834, Sister Fox being then three years of age. Her father died shortly before she was born. Deceased was reared in the Church and was identified with and passed through all the vicissitudes and persecutions of the Saints.
She participated in the removal from Kirtland to Missouri, in the exodus from Missouri to Nauvoo, Illinoi, and was driven with the body of her people from the latter place and with them sought a refuge in the Rocky Mountains.
On the way here, while camped on the banks of the Missouri River, in 1849, deceased was married to Brother Fox and has shared his fortunes from that time until her death, she having been to him a helpmeet in every sense of the term.
The issue of the union was four children, one son and three daughters, two of the latter having preceded her to the life beyond. Having lived here forty years – since 1849 – Sister Fox is necessarily and properly classed as a pioneer of this country.
