Maier Bryan Fox

Born on November 26, 1943, in Buffalo, New York, to Morris and Pearl (Konovitz) Fox, Maier developed a deep appreciation for history from an early age. He graduated from Bennett High School and earned his B.A. in History from the State University of New York at Buffalo and Ph.D. from George Washington University.

Maier was a dedicated historian and researcher for the U.S. Capitol Historical Society, United Mine Workers of America and the Wilson Center for Public Research. Maier authored ”United We Stand: The United Mine Workers of America, 1890–1990,” a significant work marking the union’s centennial and its vital role in advancing progressive labor legislation and miner health and safety.

Maier was a published author, historian, and beloved uncle. He was an avid reader of history and mystery. Those who knew him appreciated his dry wit, positive attitude and commitment to justice and learning.

He is survived by his brother, David (Sharon) Fox; his nieces and nephews, Marc (Clara Kwan) Fox, Peter (Gabriela Montenegro) Fox, and Erica (Paul Greer) Fox; aunt Bryna Konovitz, 7 grand nieces and nephews, and extended family members.

A funeral service will be held on June 5, 2025, at 11:00 at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, 9500 Riggs Rd, Adelphi, MD 20783.
