Maj. John Nixdorf, an old and respected citizen of the Ninth ward, died at his 
residence, No. 456 North Prince street, this morning, aged 71 years.  In his 
younger days Maj. Nixdorf was quite an active politician but never, we believe, 
aspired to any political office.  He leaves one daughter, Margaret, the wife of 
George Musser, and three sons – Capt. Samuel Nixdorf, late of the 79th 
Pennsylvania regiment, Frederick Nixdorf, late assessor of the Ninth ward, and 
John N. Nixdorf, who for some time past has been carrying on shoemaking at his 
father’s old stand.
