To Lisa and Mary, Thank you for your help with the Fox history. I am from
the Henry and Catherine Rett/Albert immigrants, m 4 July 1849 at St. Mary's
Church, Hollidaysburg, PA
I've come to the conclusion that the Peter Fox I'm looking for is not part
of my direct family line, but he still looks likes us! LOL
I really appreciate everything that came through on this web site, I am
truly amazed at all the info that comes through and love reading it all.
Some on list ask about cemeteries and where some of the Fox's were buried.
I can tell you my grandparents, Francis and Mae (Buck) Fox, their son
William (age 2 yrs at death in 1930), Charles and Doris (Kline) Fox, Edward,
my dad and my mom Dolores (Kline) Fox, Frances (fox)Shura and Stan Shura are
all buried in the family plot at the Holy Name graveyard on New Germany Rd,
Ebensburg. My Grandfather purchased either 9 or 10 plots, church records
are not clear, back in 1930 when William died, one for William, two for he
and grandmom and he said the others would be for the first 3 children that
pass away and their spouses. (That's why I think it's only 9 plots).
Several of my aunts and uncles are also buried in the mousleum : Helen Fox
(w/o Paul Bracken) and Paul, and Bernard Westrick, h/o Anna Marie (Sissy)
Fox. Roslyn or Sr. Mary Urban is buried at Mt. Aloyisus, and John Fox and
spouse, Dot are buried in Nevada.
One tidbit I'd like to share: Apparantly when my greatgrandfather would
visit overnight with my grandfather, his favorite breakfast was a bowl of
oatmeal with a raw egg in the middle! I love hearing these stories.
Thanks again everyone,
Pam

The Edwin Fox listed below is likely the son of Joseph F. Fox and Ellen
Stuby. Edwin was born 3 Mar 1899, but I discovered today that Alexander
Fox also had a son named Edwin born 5 Sep 1899. Both were registered for
the draft in 1918 and living in Cambria Co. Alexander's son was single
and living at home in East Carroll Twp. in 1930. Joseph's son may be the
Edwin Fox, age 31, who is listed at Dixmont Hospital in 1930. The Social
Security death index includes "Eswin" Fox, b. 3 Mar 1899, d. 15 Mar 1967
in East Pittsburgh which would seem to indicate that he spent his whole
life at Dixmont. The Mary A. Fox next to Edwin is his sister. She never
married, but taught school in Barnesboro for 53 years. She was born 20
Feb 1887 and died 4 Sep 1972.
Also, I think there is a typo below in the death date of Oscar F. Fox.
He is enumerated with his wife and children in both 1920 and 1930. I
have his death date as 1941, but that is unverified, although he is not
listed as a surviving sibling in the obituary of his brother, George,
who died in 1942.
