From the Desert Sun, Number 49, Jul. 8, 1938
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Barkow went to San Bernardino Saturday afternoon to attend the funeral of Mrs. Mary Anne Wixom, who was Mrs. Barkow’s grandmother.
Mrs. Wixom. who died Thursday at the age of 87. had resided in San Bernardino for 8O years and came across the Pacific ocean with her parents in a sail boat, from New South Wales, Australia, to San Pedro 81 years ago, nearly three months being required for the ocean voyage. While en route from San Pedro to St. George, Utah, her younger brother was kidnaped by Indians who lived near the Mojave river where the town of Victorville now is. In Utah they found conditions unsatisfactory and returned to San Bernardino. They passed near Lee’s Ferry, Utah, just the day before the Mountain Meadow massacre, when a party of more than 300 immigrants, also on their way from Utah to Southern California, were massacred.
She was the widow of D. H. Wixom, San Bernardino’s first chief of the fire department, city marshal, and member of an early city council. He died 15 years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Wixom owned the land which is now the heart of the business section of Sun Bernardino, and she still owned the property at the corner of Third and D streets, where the Towne-Allison Drug Co. is located, at the time of her death.
Together they homesteaded Blue Jay camp in the San Bernardino mountains and were prominent in the development of that resort. They developed a ranch in Lytle creek canyon which is known as Glenn ranch.
Mrs. Wixom was a direct descendant of the famous Bedford family of London, England, and her grandmother, Anne Bedford, lived in Bedford Hall, one of the interesting old landmarks of London.
Surviving Mrs. Wixom are two daughters, two sons, a sister, 14 grand- children, eight great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. George Wixom, former mayor of San Bernardino.
