With the snows of more than four score winters upon his head, R. P. Fox, Sr.. one
of the oldest and best known citizens of Madison Co died Sunday morning at 4:00
at the residence of R.J. Ingalls on Third St after a brief illness, aged 77.
During the past winter, he had a severe attack of Grip, from which he never
recovered. Deceased was one of the most widely known horseman in KY and at one
time was quited wealthy, owning a fine farm on the Jack's Creek Pike and a number
of blooded horses, among them Dr. Hooker.
He was considered an eminent authority on the breeding and training of horses
and did much to promote that branch of KY industry which has made the state famous
the world over as the home of equine excellence. As a citizen and a man, fewer
had more friends, and "Uncle Dick" as he was affectionately called, always had
a glad hand and kind word for everybody. He was member of Christian church and
his life was filled with gentleness, peace and brotherly love. Besides
a wife, who was Miss Ophelia Biggerstaff, three children survive him: John Fox
of Dawson, GA, R.P. Fox Jr of Ft. Worth Tx and Mrs. Amelia Riddell of this city.
After funeral services by Rev. Hugh McLellan at the Christian church, yesterday
at 10 am, the interment took place in the Richmond Cemetery. The sorrowing family
have the sympathy of a large circle of relatives and friends in their bereavement.
