AMOS HIXSON.

Amos Hixson, one of Brush Creek township's representative citizens, and a member of one of the Valley's oldest families, died at his home near Crystal Spring, Saturday, December 29, 1917, aged about 78 years. The funeral took place the following Tuesday and interment was made at the cemetery at McKendree church.

The grandfather of the deceased, Timothy Hixson, Sr., came from Virginia soon after the close of the Revolutionary war, and settled in Brush Creek Valley on the farm later owned by Anthony Spade. Sometime afterward, he purchased a tract known later as the Enoch Hixson farm. Among his sons was Ephraim, the father of Amos Hixson, the subject of this sketch. Endowing in line of grandfather, father and son -- they were all farmer-blacksmiths each having learned the trade from his father.

Amos Hixon married Rebecca Rohm in 1852, who survives, together with the following children: Grant; Nellie, wife of George Rohm; Grace, Ernest and Jesse. Three children are dead. November 28, 1864, he answered his country's call and went into the army to help put down the Rebellion, becoming a member of Company I, 82nd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served to the close of the war, being honorably discharged on the 14th day of July, 1865.

Mr. Hixson was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, an upright citizen, and a man who had the confidence and esteem of a wide circle of friends.
