Fox was born in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , to John and Margaret Fox and was reared in the former Northern Liberties Township . Upon completing school, he worked as a salesman before studying conveyancing , working under a practitioner for five years before going into business for himself. At twenty-one, he was elected a school director in Northern Liberties, including service as president of the board, and also represented the district in the board of health and was elected a director of Girard College by the Philadelphia City Council . He represented Philadelphia's 12th Ward in the Select Council for three years until 1861.[2]
Fox ran unsuccessfully for mayor as the nominee of the Democratic Party in 1862 and 1865 , losing to Republicans Alexander Henry and Morton McMichael , respectively. He won the mayoral election of 1868 against Hector Tyndale by a close margin, a matter that was resolved by the courts after the results were contested.[3] Philadelphia Fire Department was established, a move that proved controversial with the displaced volunteer fire houses , a number of which displayed effigies of the mayor.[2] [4]
After his term as mayor, Fox served as president of the Philadelphia Conveyancers' Association. He died on March 20, 1890, in Atlantic City, New Jersey .[1]
