Herbert Henry Heywood Fox (11 March 1871 - 24 November 1943) served as bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Montana and the Episcopal Diocese of Idaho.
Early Life
Fox was born March 11, 1871 in Montclair, New Jersey, the son of Ann Wood and James Fox. His parents immigrated from England to the east coast of the United States in the 1860s. His father was a master wood worker, and his mother died when he was three years old. James Fox remarried several years later, but this marriage did not last, and the father and son moved to California in 1886 to work on a ranch in Carmel Valley. They returned to the east coast a short time later and worked in the steel mills and potteries in New Jersey.
Education
During the late 1880s Fox attended the Newark Evening Technical School where he studied technical drawing. However he turned to a different career and studied theology at Hobart College in 1893. After graduation, he attended the General Theological Seminary in New York, and was ordained priest in 1900.
Ministry
Fox took charge of several parishes in New York, and later in Michigan, before his election as Suffragan Bishop of Montana in 1920. He became Coadjutor Bishop of Montana in 1925 and succeeded as diocesan bishop in 1934. Between 1925 and 1926 Fox was also Bishop of Idaho.
Personal Life
Fox married Alma Wather in the late 1890s. They had two children: Mary, born June 24, 1907, and Henry, born December 13, 1911. Fox died on November 24, 1943.
