Johx Fox, a prominent, useful and respected citizen of Lexington, ended his mortal career on the first day of July, 1884. He was born on Chinqoapin Creek, below Butesburg, on the 14th day of December, 1805, and at the time of his death had passed the ripe old age of seveuty-eight years. The"first twenty years of his life were spent in his native hamlet, and during that time be availed himself of the advantages of a very limited education, acquired iu the neighboring conutry sc hools. Early in 1825 he went to Lexington Court-house without means and with little education. But he had a brave heart and high resolves, aud he began with the intent aud purpose of achieving a useful and an honorable career. He was first employed as a deputy for A. II. Fort, Esq., in the Clerk and Ordinary's offices, aud alter a short service in this capacity he entered the office of Amos Banks as Deputy Sheriff. He continued in this position until 1828, when he was elected the successor ol Sheriff Bunks. Tie law at that time prevented a Sheriff hold ing two terms iu succession and be conld not take the office at the election iu 1832, But be was again elected Sherift in 1836 and in 1840 he was elected to the. office ot Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas; He was elected Clerk again iu 1844 and iu 1848. His third term as Clerk expired in 1852 and in that year he was elected member of the House of Representatives. He was again elected "Representative iu 1854, and iu 1850 he was elected to the Senate. He was defeated for Senater by Mr. Hope in 1360 by a small majority. He commenced at the bottom round of the ladder and went to the top. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention called by Goy. Perry in 1856; aud in post helium days he rendered valuable services as Jury Commissioner and as Clerk in the office of the County Commissioners. His success was not due so much to brilliant qualifications as to sterling integrity and untiring effort to faithfully discharge all the public trusts that were committed to his hands. Nevertheless, he was a man of fine intellect aud strong common i sense, and althongh lie commenced, un! trained in the schools, he acquired in the I course of his long public and business ex| perience better knowledge of men and I things than is done by many who enjoy the ! advantages of a college career. He was i i a self-made man in the full significance ol j the term. He was an upright man. In | his dealings with his fellow men, in public ! office aud in private life, he wa? scrupulj ously exact and correct. In his private j character he was most exemplary?indeed i he was a man of spotless purity. In the i domestic relations he was a model man? > I thoughtful, kind, careful, considerate, he j watched with tender care and solicitude . j after the welfare of all who belonged to lib i household. ] Late in life he became a member of th? ! Methodist Church and from that time tc j j his death he was a devout, patient, humble , , follower of the Savior of Men. 4-Thy will j be done" was breathed in his every utter' ; auce during the long and painful and try' ' ing illness tb?t preceded his death. lit ? j these da/1: hours he exhibited the san:? 1 i fortitude and patient cowag/e that had 1 ; characterized him iu a'l ties relations oi ^ S life. I lo prof?a*e4 an abiding and uu j faltering trust in -Jassus Christ, and a conj If dent hope and assurance of a blessed j ; immortality, j j After a long life of toil and service and ^ J usefulness and honor, he passed away frojr . the midst of sublunary things enter intr 8 that rest that remainetli for thn people o - God.
