Peter Camden Fox,. Son of Judge Fontaine T. and Eliza J. (Hunton) Fox. Born
in Somerset, 1834. On graduating Mr. Fox worked for a time as a civil
engineer, and helped make the old railroad survey from Danville, KY, to
Knoxville, TN. He then studied law, and in 1857 went to New Orleans, LA.
When the civil war broke out he joined Scott's Louisiana Cavalry, and was
elected Adjutant, afterward being promoted to major. In 1868 he returned to
Kentucky and opened a law office in Louisville, and practiced until 1872.
An unfortunate railroad accident this year necessitated the amputation of
one of his legs, and he never resumed his law labors. He died December 13,
1885, in Danville, KY, having never married.
