Lawyers and Lawmakers of Kentucky, by H. Levin, editor, 1897. Published

Press.  p. 508.  Pulaski County.

WILLIAM McKEE FOX, deceased, was born in Somerset, Kentucky, April 11,
1833, and died in May, 1880.  Choosing as a life work the profession
which his father had adorned, he prepared for the practice of law and in
that calling attained an eminent place.  Called by a strong constituency
to public office, he served for four years in the senate of the state
legislature, as senator from Pulaski and Wayne counties, and his course
in the senate, marked by devotion to public duty and to the interests of
his constituents, was one which made him a valued member.  In 1878 he
sought the nomination of his party for congress, but was defeated by a
proxy vote.  His strong mentality, versatility and ready adaptability
made him an able defender or a dreaded opponent in the court-room, and
in social circles he seemed to possess that force which for want of a
better term has been called personal magnetism.  An editorial in the
Courier-Journal, of Louisville, characterized him as "a typical
Kentuckian, brave, impulsive, generous to a fault, genial, eloquent,
ready and equally strong in society as in his profession.  The man never
lived with larger heart or brighter intellect.  He bent himself seriously
to nothing that he did not illumine, and wherever he appeared he was
surrounded with a host of admiring associates."
