Boonville - Mrs. Edith E. Fox, 76, an invalid, was found dead yesterday in her home on the Egypt Road, where she lived alone, after a neighbor reported she had not been seen since Jan. 4.
State Police found Mrs. Fox lying on a couch. They said the woman, who was crippled, was apparently unable to tend a coal stove in her home. Dr. Albert C. Redmond, coroner, said death, which probably occurred Jan. 7, was accidental and caused by exposure. Temperatures in the area were far below zero, and sank to a near minus 40 Tuesday.
She was the daughter of Andrew and Josephine Ford Van Buskirk and was married on June 12, 1916, in Utica, to Luther Fox who died before her.
Surviving are a sister, Mrs. Eva Mae Williamson, Whitesboro, and two nieces, Mrs. Clarence (Nellie) Galloway, Rome, and Mrs. Raymond (Marcella) Keck, Whitesboro.
Whitesboro.
Note: Henry Jones and Edith Fox are buried in the same cemetery plot.
The widower Henry Jones employed Mrs. Edith Fox as his housekeeper [1920 and 1930 U.S. censuses]. Unfortunately, Edith's husband was a man who made poor choices [prison records and newspaper articles] and, despite this, she did not divorce him until the mid-1940s, if at all. It appears either Henry or Edith provided for the other individual to have a last resting place.
