JOSIE NIXDORF CELEBRATES 95TH BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Josephine Nixdorf, one of Miller County's oldest Senior Citizens, celebrated her 95th birthday last Tuesday, November 12, at her rural farm home some three miles northeast of Ulman…On November 12, 1879, Josephine Burks was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Burks who lived in a small cottage in the field a short distance above the present Barron Fork bridge on Highway 17 about four miles north of Iberia. Here Josie began to grow up and discover more and more new things about the world. Later she would attend school at Hickory Point which then was the center of a thriving community. By this time the family had moved from the place of her birth and settled anew in the Hickory Point area.
On February 12, 1902, at the age of 23, Josie married William Carroll Nixdorf and they settled in what is now known as the Pleasant Farm Community. Within time three children came to live in the Nixdorf home. They are now Mrs. N.F. (Cleo) Carnes of Camdenton, Missouri; Miss Jessie Nixdorf and Miss Louise Nixdorf of the home. Josie has two granddaughters—daughters of the Carnes family. By those granddaughters she has seven great-grandchildren. Josie has two half-sisters: Mrs. Tracy McDonald and Mrs. Dorothy Burris, both of Eldon.
The death of William Carroll Nixdorf on June 15, 1961, left Josie a widow. She and daughters, Jessie and Louise, have continued to live on the Nixdorf farm which the Nixdorf family first acquired back on 1907.
Miss Jessie Nixdorf had baked her mother a birthday cake but the big formal one for the grand occasion was baked by Beth Myers of Ulman.
