DANIEL W. FOX, farmer, Rock Elm.  William D. Fox was born in Mohawk, N. Y., 
June 21, 1803.  He married Catharine Coon in 1832, near Watertown, N. Y., and
to this union were born eight children, namely: Sheldon; Elizabeth, Mrs. 
Cole, now dead; Matthew, living in Nebraska; Catharine, died in infancy; 
Daniel and May J (twins), the latter now Mrs. Keyser, who lives in Janesville;
Harriet A., Mrs. Lee, who lives in Barron county; and Ranson, living in 
Dakota.  Daniel, our subject, was born in Canada, June 16, 1841, and when six 
years of age moved with his parents to Jefferson county, N. Y., but lived
there only a short time when his parents came west to Dodge county, Wis.,
where he lived until of age.  In March, 1863, he married Catharine, daughter
of William and Catharine Lee.  In 1865 he left home for the first time, to
seek a fortune for himself.  He landed in the wild woods near what is now
Rock Elm, and bought 160 acres of land of the government and a railroad
company. Then his estimable wife and himself started to make a home, and he
now has 100 acres under the highest state of cultivation, and has a nice 
home.  To them have been given three children:  Dora M., Mrs. Whip, lives in
Rock Elm; Claudia M., Mrs. Vannortwick, also lives in Rock Elm, and Nellie
S., who lives at home.  In politics Mr. Fox is a democrat, and has been
assessor of the town nine years.  He is now enjoying the fruits of the hard
pioneer life, and has the full confidence and respect of his neighbors.
