FOX – Fox, Embry, Jones #11259 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883. pp 927-8. R. P. FOX, post-office Curryville. Among the intelligent pioneers of Indian township who have long been identified with Pike county is the subject of this sketch, who is a native of Madison county, Kentucky, born June 29, 1819, the son of Charles L. and Nancy (Embry) Fox, who were natives of Kentucky. Our subject was the second child of a family of six children. His early life was spent in working on the farm, and he received a limited education in the subscription schools of those early day. He resided beneath the parental roof until November, 1841, when he came to Pike county, Missouri, first settling in Indian township, where he now resides, and settled on wild land, which he improved in a great manner, and where he lived until 1877, when he came on his present farm, where he has since made his home. His farm consists of 120 acres of good land, well located and well adapted for both grain and stock, in the raising of which he is engaged. His farm is well improved and cultivated in a good manner, and he has a comfortable home, out-buildings, orchard, etc. He was united in marriage May 5, 1852, to Miss Susan H. Jones, daughter of Hon. Major Jones, a prominent pioneer of the county. This union has been blessed with ten children: Amanda L., James, Mary E., Joel E., Richard S., Nancy S., Edwin L., William H., John Curtis, and one deceased, Charles L., the second child of the family. Mr. Fox has been a worthy member of the Christian Church since August 22, 1837. He was elected to the office of Justice of the peace in 1870, and served four years with great credit. He has always been ready to give his influence to what tended to advance the cause of education or religion. They have reared and educated their children so they are well fitted to take positions in life that will be a satisfaction and credit to the parents. Mr. Fox, during his residence in the township, has won many warm and true friends, and he is numbered among the best citizens of the township.
