Arthur Fox, farmer and stockman, P. O. Durand, was born in Van Buren, Ind., 
January 20, 1849, a son of Adam L. and Matilda Fox.  While a child he removed 
with the family to Dane county and thence to Durand township.  The last removal 
was made with ox teams the family also bringing one horse and some cows and 
young stock, and fifteen days were spent in making the journey.  Two years later
a school house was built on his father's farm, and there he received his primary 
education, though later he attended the State University.  At the age of twenty-
one years, he went to Mahaska county, Iowa, and purchased a farm there, but soon 
returned to take charge of his father's farm, upon which he still resides.  
October 17, 1874, he married Martha Parrish, who was born at Aurora, Ohio, and is 
a daughter of E. A. Parrish.  They have two living children, Maude and Galen.  Mr. 
Fox now owns a farm of about 700 acres and is extensively engaged in grain and 
stock raising, though he also deals in live stock.  He takes little interest in 
politics, devoting his attention chiefly to his business.
