Bio

In family records, Bro. Fox writes: "I married Margaret Ann Marshall Slinn, at Sheffield Old Church, Yorkshire, England, June 29, 1839. I was baptized Oct. 24, 1848, by Crandell Dunn, and confirmed at the same time; was ordained a Priest April 8, 1849, by Elder James Marsden, and ordained an Elder May l, 1853, by Elder Thomas F. Broderick. I was called to preside over the Leeds branch May 15, 1853; appointed president of the Bradford conference in December, 1856, and called to preside over the Glasgow conference in January, 1857. I was released to emigrate to America in May, 1860, and arrived in Utah Oct. 3, 1860. I married Eliza Brain Jan. 5, 1867, and was ordained a Seventy in the 68th quorum Dec. 2, 1862, by John Brown. I married Catherine S. Simmons May 31, 1869; was set apart as one of the seven presidents of the 68th quorum of Seventy Jan. 17, 1872, and was appointed senior president of the 68th quorum Jan. 12, 1880. I was called to preside over the acting Priesthood in the Lehi district March 13, 1881, by Bishop David Evans, and appointed a home missionary in Utah Stake, Oct. [p.506] 6, 1886, by Pres. Abraham O. Smoot." He and his older sons, Alfred, Robert and Isaac, helped build the first telegraph lines into the state (then a territory) along the railroad to Promontory Point, and from Salt Lake City to Nephi, Utah. They helped in the building of the Provo Canal, the irrigation projects, the civic and church needs of the time. Contributor: Thornhill (49082335)
