Context

Jacob Fox rests in a lonely grave in the Douglas Cemetery. He was born Nov. 12, 1807, in Northampton Co., PA, and died Apr. 7, 1871, in Douglas. His wife's name was Loretta Schug Fox. In the 1870 census Jacob was listed in Douglas as an invalid, his wife as a housekeeper, and several other children. Son James, then 24, was shown as a teamster and the property owner. After Jacob's death, the family moved to north Florida, where wife Loretta is buried in Parker, Florida. Thanks to g-g-g-granddaughter Kay Fox for sharing this family photo taken about 1855, one of the earliest of local residents. -Submitted by Chris Yoder, Feb 2010
