Portland Observer – Thursday, 1 June 1922
ALBERT B. HIXSON PASSED AWAY AT GRAND RAPIDS
Was Living At Soldiers’ Home – Body Brought Here For Burial Today

The remains of Albert B. Hixson, who died at the Soldiers’ Home at Grand 
Rapids, was brought to his old home and laid to rest in Portland Cemetery 
beside his wife this afternoon.

Mr. Hixson was one of Portland’s pioneer residents, coming here with his 
parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John Hixson, from Lockport, New York, when a 
small boy.  Sometime after their arrival here, his father started a woolen 
mill in which he worked for a number of years when he left the employ of his 
father and learned the tinner’s trade, starting a shop and doing custom work 
for the residents of the village.  He was a member of the New York national 
guards and on account of these troops being held in reserve during the Civil 
war he never saw actual service, but this membership entitled him to enter the 
Soldiers’ Home.  His wife’s maiden name was Viancia Outwater, she having 
passed away four years ago.  Besides a daughter, Mrs. Alva Nichols of Grand 
Rapids, he is survived by a twin brother, Adelbert, of Oregon.
