Andrew J. Fox
The subject of this brief sketch was born in Floyd county, Indiana, Jan. 25, 
1837. He was the son of John and Elizabeth (Smith) Fox, no longer living. Our 
subject was by 

trade a cooper when he decided to volunteer his services in defence of his 
country. He was at that time 25 years old and entered the ranks of Co. C, 81st 
Ind. V.I.,, 4th A.C., 

at New Albany, Ind., Aug. 13, 1862. He took active part with his command in 
the Atlanta Campaign and Nashville. December, 1864, he was wounded in right 
groin by 

gunshot at the battle of Nashville; in consequence of this severe wound, he 
was confined in hospitals at Nashville and Jefferson, Ind., until the close of 
the war. In the 

summer of 1864 he was confined in hospitals at Lookout and Nashville on 
account of sickness. He was granted a sick furlough of thirty days and 
reported for duty at 

Pulaski, Tenn. The war having come to a close and his service being no longer 
required, he was honorably discharged June 12, 1865, at Louisville, Ky. He had 
one brother 

who served in the late war, James now deceased, who was a member of Co. C, 
81st Ind. V.I., was severely wounded by gunshot at the battle of Stone River. 
Comrade Fox 

is a member of Georgetown Post, 582, in which he has been Chap. for three 
years; his occupation is that of a farmer and his address is Georgetown, Ind.


Additional Comments:
I came across the photocopied pages in a file at the public
library in New Albany. I have never been able to locate an
original copy of the book.
