GEORGE H. FOX, who follows general farming on a tract of seventy acres, located one and one half miles south-east of Cabot on the east side of Bear Creek, also does
contract teaming, and is one of the leading and highly respected citizens of Winfield Township. He was born December 7, 1869, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and is a son of Henry and Jane (Kaufold) Fox and a grandson of George Henry Fox, a native of Germany who came to this
country at a very early period and located first in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, whence he came to Butler County and was among the earliest settlers. George H. Fox was reared in his native county and received his elementary schooling in the district schools of that locality, completing his education in the common schools of Cabot, Pennsylvania. On May 22, 1894, when twenty-four years of age, Mr. Fox was united in marriage to Adelia B. Kennedy, a daughter of Peter and Rachael (Cooper) Kennedy, well known farmers of Butler County, and of their union were born the following children: Mabel, aged twelve years, and Juanita, who is nine years old. Mr. Fox has always followed general farming and in connection with this is now engaged in contract teaming. He is a man of public spirit and enterprise, giving his support to all measures which tend toward the advancement of the community in which he lives. His farm of seventy acres is well improved and equipped with all the necessary out-buildings of a substantial kind and his residence is a comfortable two-story frame building. In religious affiliation Mr. Fox is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Cabot, of which he is president of the board of trustees and was for some time superintendent of the Sabbath school.
