George Abraham FOX, the son of Henry and Lydia MILBOURNE FOX, was born on July 5, 1844. He married Elmira COMBS on September 17, 1874 at Trinity Lutheran Church. Little has been written by my mother regarding this side of the FOX family. But this is what I have discovered in my research.

The following article was written about Walter Abraham Fox in 1926 in the "History of Columbiana County."
"W.A. Fox, who has been in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad as station agent at Kensington for 36 years, is a member of one of Columbiana County's honored pioneer families. He was born at Hanoverton, Columbiana County, June 9, 1869, and is the son of Reason and Mary (HOFFEE) FOX, both of whom are deceased. Fern FOX was my mother's mother. She was one of six children, the others being Esther Irene (1894-1983), Gladys Gretna (1895 - 1965), Margaret Ruth 'Peg' (1899-1997), Alfred Earl (1901-1997) and Curtis Roscoe (1906-1980). I remember spending a lot of time with Esther, Peg and my grandmother at my grandparent's farm in Minerva. My mother was the only child among the three women, and so the grandchildren were special to them all. The early pictures always seem to show the three women together.
