Wilson C Fox




Photographer:
W. C. Fox
16 N. Third Street
Harrisburg, Pa.

Wilson C. Fox (1845 - 1899)
When Wilson C. Fox was born about 1848, in Pennsylvania, his father, Henry, was 31 and his mother, Martha, was 32.

He had three sons and two daughters with wife Ellen Martha Eichelberger between 1869 and 1878. He died in 1899 in Pennsylvania, at the age of 51, and was buried in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania city directories show he was an active photographer at 16 N. 3rd in Harrisburg, PA, from 1886 through 1890. He was an insurance agent beyond that but could have done photograph work in addition to his main profession. There is some evidence that a son, Stewart W. Fox, worked with him at the studio and continued with photography after 1890

Not the one you were looking for? Here's the photographer's INDEX by name. All the Cabinet Card photographers of the 19th century found in LOST GALLERY are listed there.

This is a work always in progress.

Aditional information and new examples are always welcome. Any additional information will help narrow the time that these precious antiques were made.

All submissions should be free of glare and shadows.
Do not crop.
Leave a border around each card. The edges are sometimes an important clue to the age of the card.
