DAVIS.<<< > The following excerpt is from the book, "Hanging Rock Iron Region"(estimated date written 1917): THOMAS C. FOX (Thomas Calvin Fox) By judicious efforts as a farmer and general merchant, Thomas C. Fox has created a liberal prosperity for himself in the Locust Grove community of Jackson Township, Vinton County. Mr. Fox has been in business at the Locust Grove community for the past nineteen years. He has a fine store in a building 24x42 feet, well stocked with general merchandise of every kind required by a country community. Thomas C. Fox was born in Hocking County, Ohio, August 18, 1869, and was reared and educated there, which remained his home until his removal to Locust Grove. He is a son of Thomas J. and Elizabeth (Grimes) Fox, who were natives of Ohio and were reared in Belmont County. His father graduated from high school and learned the carpenter's trade and became a skilled mechanic. He was married in Belmont County, and after two children were born to them they moved to Hocking County, where he bought a small farm in Perry Township. He died there in July, 1875, when only thirty-two years of age. His widow afterwards married Henry Spencer, a farmer in Hocking County, where he died after the birth of six children at the age of fifty-five. His widow, Mrs. Spencer, now lives at Lancaster, and is still in good health at the age of seventy-two. She became the mother of nine sons by her two marriages, and five of them are still living, and all have children except one. Next to the youngest in his father's family, Thomas C. Fox has made his success largely through his own efforts, since he was early thrown upon his own resources. He was married in Hocking County to Miss Stella Hunter. She was born in Perry Township of Morgan County, Ohio, May 21, 1873, and was reared and educated there. Her parents were Curtis and Susanna (Poling) Hunter, who were married in Hocking County and spent their lives on a farm there. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Fox were born six children, one of whom died in infancy. Pearl D. born in August, 1896, Bessie May born March 26, 1898, Earl Stanley born May 18, 1899, Leona Fern was born in 1904, Delbert Odell was born in February 1913. The family are all members of the Locust Grove Methodist Church. In politics Mr. Fox is a republican, and is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge at McArthur.
