in from the country to assume the
duties of landlord until 1858 and
relinquished it in 1858, being sue
ceeded by his son, Charles, who
was during his proprietorship IN
February 1855 that the Prohibitory
law was passed, to 90 into effect
in June following. His early edu-
cation as well as his instincts and
business interests were again at
the law, which he considered sum-
ptuary in effect and it was in an
tagonism to this law that his pow
er as a politician was first felt, in
the election Of 1856. His attitude
towards this question never chang
ed, though it became somewhat
modified. He had been a Whig
and had become an American
when the old organization had as
sumed that name, under which the
law above referred to was pass
ed Two years later it had assum-
ed the name of the Peoples Par
ty' but from this time on till his
death, the entire interests of the
deceased were cast with the Demo
cratic party. The turmoil of a
public life, as before said, wasnot
in accordance with his tastes, and
he bought and moved to the place
where he died, some twenty-five
years ago. He was married twice.
His first wife died young; his sec
ond survives him with four chill
dren, one son and three daughters,
all grown, four sons having died
in their early manhood. Mr.. Fox
well was somewhat austere in de-
meanor, but under a certain rough
ness of manner there was a heart
as tender as a child's. 1t is said
that no one ever went to him in
distress without obtaining relief if
it were possible. He left a good
estate, but it might have been larg-
er but for his known generosity.
Il was this trait of character to-
gether with a Straightforward hon
esty Of dealing. which won and
held for Col Foxwell high pop
ularity until the very last. His
funeral was very largely attended
yesterday afternoon by his neigh
bors and friends from his late
residence to Brynzion Baptist
Church, the family place of burial.
His estate is estimated to be worth
from $4,000 to S50,0O0
