Gustavus R. Fox (1817-1893) was born in Herkimer, New York, and died in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He married Julia A. Fox (b. Loomis) in about 1845 and they lived in Canandaigua, New York, where he worked as a clerk in a crockery store. He became a conductor on the Michigan Central Railroad, and sometime after 1870 he moved to Bay City, Michigan, where he opened a dry goods, grocery, and crockery business. In 1886 Fox's acquaintance Annie R. Smith wrote to Mary Baker Eddy to order a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures on his behalf.
