Hi, I have the name George Fox in my data base a few ways, distant relatives in Salem county, but earlier than the one you seek. I did look on family search and the death certificate image that matches the dates and places you give, says he was 42 years old and born in VA. Does that fit for the one you seek?
You might try writing to the Cumberland county Historical society, they might have more local papers there or obits on file. I know Millville HS used to keep cards for local deaths on file too..but not sure how inclusive. A third alternative in Cumberland county is the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society. Though I think I would look and see if you can find his grave listed on Findagrave or Internment.net. Sometimes the family is all gathered in the same plot.
