John Fox Slater (March 4, 1815 – May 7, 1884), United States philanthropist known for assisting in the education of emancipated African American slaves.
==Early life and career==
Slater, the son of John Slater (Samuel Slater's brother and partner), was born in Slatersville, Rhode Island in 1815 where his family was active in Slaterville Congregational Church and owned the local textile mills and village. John F. Slater was educated in academies at Plainfield, Connecticut, and Wrentham and Wilbraham, Massachusetts. At seventeen he entered his father's woollen mill in Hopeville, Conn., of which he took charge in 1836. This and other mills he owned in partnership with his brother, William S Slater, until 1873, when his brother took over the Slatersville Mills and he assumed sole ownership of the mills at Jewett City. In 1842 he removed from Jewett City to Norwich; there he helped to endow the Norwich Free Academy, to which his son presented the Slater Memorial Hall. Slater also endowed Park Congregational Church in Norwich and donated Slater Library. Slater died on May 7, 1884, and his funeral was held at Park Congregational Church, where he was an attendant.〔Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Memorial of John F.
