Silas Fowler Fox (1893–1983). Born on December 22, 1893, in Josephsburg, Alberta, Canada, to Caleb and Bessie Fox, Silas Fox, known as the "White Fox of Andhra," was a missionary and evangelist who dedicated 51 years to preaching in India. After his father’s death weeks after his birth, his mother remarried an abusive alcoholic, leading to family hardship. Raised in poverty, Fox lived with a Baptist preacher uncle and worked as a riveter and clerk. Converted at 19 in 1912 through pastor Andrew Imrie in Toronto, he led a friend to Christ the next day, igniting a lifelong passion for souls. He graduated from Toronto Bible College in 1916, studying under W.H. Griffith Thomas, and married Emma Graus that year, sailing for India in 1917 with the Ceylon and India General Mission. Resigning in 1925 over mission policies, he became an independent missionary, mastering Telugu and preaching in Andhra villages like Kuppam and Bangalore. Known for flamboyant methods—magic lantern slides, sandwich boards—he edited The Christian Hope newspaper and produced gospel recordings. Fox planted churches and fostered ties with Baptist, Brethren, and Anglican missions. He authored pamphlets on tongues, the millennium, and missions but no major books. With Emma, he had six children: Ruth, Donald, John, Mary, David, and George. Leaving India in 1968, he returned to Canada, dying in 1983. Fox said, “Preaching is my life’s blood.”
