J. H [sic][A]. Bixby had a narrow escape one evening last week from being robbed. He was going through the park [Gregory] when he was sprang upon by a thug but escaped. These occurrences are getting to be too numerous for the comfort and safety of our people and a close lookout should be kept for these scoundrels who infest the city. (Brainerd Dispatch, Thursday, 06 September 1883, p. 3, c. 2)
J. A. Bixby has moved his family back to this city from his claim in the second indemnity belt, as he has accepted the position of superintendent of the poor farm and will move out there the coming week. (Brainerd Dispatch, 25 January 1890, p. 4, c. 4)
The county commissioners at their regular meeting elected George McCulloch overseer of the county poor farm, Mr. J. A. Bixby having tendered his resignation. The selection seems to give universal satisfaction as the gentleman is thoroughly conversant with the task before him. (Brainerd Dispatch, 05 January 1894, p. 1, c. 3)

He was married to Miss Emner Miller, lately deceased, at Orangetown, Schuyler county, New York, Jan. 10, 1856. To them were born six children of which two are deceased, Mary Sophia Bixby White and Martha Bixby Davenport.

Cameron, of Olympia, Wash., all of whom were at his bed side. He also leaves 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The peaceful end came at 8:30 A. M. Wednesday.
Mr. Bixby came to Minnesota in the spring of 1870 and settled at Sauk Rapids, coming to Brainerd with his family in the spring of 1880 where he has since made his home. Mr. Bixby came to Brainerd to work when the only way of reaching it was by stage.
