General Notes: Husband - Henry B. Hixon

---

He was educated in the common schools and at the age of twelve years began working in a woolen mill in his native town; at eighteen he removed to near Winchester, Virginia, and there continued his trade until reaching his majority, when he went to Franklin county, PA, and worked there for one year, afterward following the same business at Quincy, in that county, for another year. At the close of the last mentioned period he took charge of a dyeing and carding establishment for John Cavode of Ligonier valley, Westmoreland county, then a resident of Chambersburg, whose business he managed in the Ligonier valley for two years. At this period, Mr. Hixon's whereabouts became somewhat transient, one of the prin­cipal locations being at Johnstown, where he erected a large brick woolen factory, which withstood all attempts of the flood to wreck its walls and remained standing. In 1863 he came to the oil country, from Kinsman, Ohio, and in 1865 began the production of oil, to which he gave his attention for fourteen years. He then retired to the Shaw farm in Cornplanter town­ship, and resided there. He served as collector and assessor of Cornplanter township for eleven years and held other township offices. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, located on the Shaw farm. For many years he was class leader of that organization and was also assistant superintendent of the Sabbath school. He became one of the early members of the Whig party and drifted from that to the Republican party. He was one of the upright, intelligent, and worthy citizens of Cornplanter township.
