Edgar L. Fox (1896-1965) began his business career as office assistant with the Carr Lumber Company in Pisgah Falls after completing his schooling at Lenoir-Rhyne College and the Asheville Business College. Later he worked in that same capacity for the Hickory city manager. Mr. Fox then obtained a position with the First Savings and Loan Association and in 1951 became executive vice president and secretary. He was also associated with numerous other financial institutions and local civic groups. In 1929 he married Euphemia Lipford of Chester, South Carolina. Mrs. Fox still owns and occupies the house, which was designed by Hickory architect Robert Clemmer, and erected by Herman-Sipe Construction Company.
