Amanda Orvilla (Cooper) Fox

A photo of Amanda Orvilla (Cooper) Fox, my Paternal Great Grandmother. Orvilla (as she was always known) was born in 1841 and died in 1924. Her father, William H. Cooper was a Private in the Army during the Civil War being a member of the 2nd New York Cavalry. Her mother was Laura Mariah Castle. William & Laura Cooper were short time residents of Broadalbin, Fulton County, New York where Orvilla became acquainted with Augustus Fox. Orvilla's parents decided to move to Manlius, Onondaga county, New York in 1861 so shortly after the Coopers moved away Augustus decided he had fallen in Love with Orvilla so he followed her to Manlius and they were married out there. Augustus & Orvilla returned to Broadalbin, Fulton County, New York and continued their residence in that place for most of their lives.
