On February 1, 1854, he was married in Greenfield, Ohio, to Miss Mary E. Barrett. To this union six children were born, only two of whom survive - Mrs. Peter Schneider of this city and Mrs. John Overocker of Maple Creek, Canada. Their mother died on October 11, 1881, and was buried in Winfield. Through the long, wearysome days of their father's sickness, Mrs. Schneider and Mrs. Overocker were with him most of the time and both were present when he died.
Mr. Hixon was a good citizen, a kind husband and father and a true friend to every worthy cause. For 47 years he had lived a consistent Christian life, being a member of the Christian church. At the time of his death, Mr. Hixon's age was 80 years, 1 month and 15 days.
Funeral services were conducted in the Christian church at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. The pastor, Elder E. W. Schenk, preached a splendid sermon from Paul's words to the Thessalonians, "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope." Interment was made in the Coldwater cemetery.
