moved to Boise Basin, and with the exception of a few years spent in 
California, Mother Bixby has resided in Boise, Ada and Canyon counties, and

Middleton.

Mrs. Bixby was born in Knox county, Ohio, Jan. 27, 1830. She had been a member 
of the Methodist church and lived a conistent Christian life for many years. 
She leaves three sons and two daughters, Hon. G. L. Bixby of Owyhee county, 
Mrs. Peter Pence of Payette, Robert Bixby of Oregon, Mrs. T. B. Roberts of 
Caldwell and Ann Bixby of Middletown, all of who except Robert, could not 
arrive in time, accompanied the remains to their last resting place by the 
side of the husband, in the cemetery in Middleton.
