On November 27, 1845, he was united in marriage to AMERICA J. MARTIN, who died August 20, 1875. To this union were born ten children, three dying in infancy.

The living are JAMES M.; ANNA ANDERSON and LIZZIE S. BOWEN of this place; MARY J. ZEIGLER of Linton, N.D.; and THOMAS J. of Prescott, Arizona. All but the last two were present at the last sad rites. MR. TROXEL was again married on November 17, 1887, to MRS. ELIZABETH MCCOLLOUGH who died on June 23, 1894. MR. TROXEL is also survived by one brother and one sister living in Kansas and two sisters living in Illinois.
Deceased was a gentleman with the best of character and disposition -- kind, generous and true. He was a man of strict integrity, whom all were pleased to know and number as a friend. His death is sincerely mourned and to the sorrowing relatives the sympathy of the community is extended.
