Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 576:
Gordon Fox, a thrifty farmer and president of the Erie Tobacco Company, of Windsor, is a member of one of the old pioneer families of this locality...
     Grandfather John J. Fox was born in Colchester, March 22, 1814, and married Elizabeth Godwin, who was born March 1, 1819, in England. The following family was born to this marriage: ... Darius, father of Gordon...
     Darius Fox was born on the homestead farm north of Olinda, Oct. 30, 1845...
     On Nov. 1, 1867, Darius Fox married Emily, the eldest daughter of Zenas Orton, and to this union have been born: Gordon; and Carrie, born Nov. 14, 1876, married Charles Wigle, Jr., of Albertville.
     Gordon Fox was born on the old farm Aug. 4, 1869, and was eleven years of age when the family moved to Ruthven, where he was educated. After completing his school course, he engaged in farming under his father's superintendence, and after the latter's accident, young Gordon assumed sole charge of the farm. When he was twenty-nine years of age, all four grandparents were still living. After his father's death he came into possession of the property, and carries on general farming. In addition to his other interests, Mr. Fox is president of the Erie Tobacco Company, and has been for the past three years. This concern had done much to advance the price of tobacco in this country. Like his father and grandfather, Mr. Fox is a Grit. The family has always attended the Methodist Church. For the past three years he has served as secretary and treasurer of the Ruthven school.
     On Nov. 4, 1891, Mr. Fox married Clara Bunn, a native of Maidstone township, and the following children have come to them: Ezra Wilson, Orville Stanley, Sylvia Myrtle and Lena Pearl. Mrs. Clara (Bunn) Fox was born in Maidstone Oct. 20, 1866, daughter of Samuel and Martha (Wilson) Bunn, the former of whom was a farmer all his days. After many years residence in Maidstone, he removed to Gosfield South, where his widow lives.
