Marriage date from Ancestry. Obituary and dates from Findagrave. 1 Marshall (MI) Statesman Thursday, June 9, 1881 Obituary. Daniel M. Fox was born in Tinicum, Bucks county, Pa., in 1807, and died in Fredonia, Mich., May 30, 1881. He joined the Lutheran church when he was 17 years of age. By persistent effort Mr. Fox acquired a very fine education–taking rank among the first teachers of his time. He was married when a young man to Miss Eliza Lichtenwalner, who proved to be a valuable helpmate. A family of nine children blessed the union, six of whom survive–three sons and three daughters. The children are all grown to be men and women, all professed christians and belonging to some branch of the christian church. The boys have become prominent men–one of them a physician of fine ability. Mrs. Fox died July 5th, 1874. Her neighbors represent her as a king wife and mother, and a christian lady of very fine parts. Mr. Fox took possession of the farm upon which he died in 1854, and has lived upon it ever since. He organized the first Sabbath school in the town, and was one of the first leaders in the church in his neighborhood, giving to it his time, talent, and money. He was a deacon of the church for several years previous to coming to Michigan, and has held the office ever since. He was also a leading man in the town in which he lived. Mr. Sam’l Fayerweather who has been associated with him upon the town board says he was a man of strong mind, just judgment, and strictly honest. Probably no man in Fredonia could have fallen whose services will be more universally missed. Mr. Fox was buried June 1st. He was taken from his home to the cemetery. After the interment the people returned to the church where services were conducted. His pastor, Rev. Oscar Wuest, preached a very practical sermon in German. Afterwards the Rev. Wm. Riley, of Marshall, preached in English. It was one of the largest funeral processions ever had in this county. Over one hundred and fifty carriages were in line as the slow cortege moved away from the old home. The church, the neighborhood, and a large circle of friends, with the family, mourn their loss. But our loss is his gain. May we all meet in the forever to part no more.
