and by an unscrupulous partner who made promises he could not honor. Death Fox's health began to fail in 1875 after an accident on stage that broke his nose and damaged an optic nerve. Erratic behavior over the next few months that caused some concern over his sanity was soon followed by a series of strokes that eventually led to his death, aged 52. At the time of his death he was under the care of his sister and brother-in-law at their residence in Cambridge. Fox's daughter, Louisa A. Fox, later married Daniel Sully, a stage actor who was a circus performer in youth. Tribute Bill Irwin paid tribute to George L. Fox by creating the stage show Mr. Fox: A Rumination, which premiered in 2004 at the Signature Theatre.
