Sherburn Advance: A telegram was received here Tuesday evening by J. G. Follett announcing the death of Mrs. Bixby, mother of A.L. Bixby, at the home of a son at Garrison, Neb. The deceased was an only sister of Mrs. Ammie Follett, Sr., of this place, and was universally beloved by a large acquaintanceship of early settlers in the southern part of the county. With her husband she settled in Iowa Lake township, Emmet county, Iowa, in 1865, where she resided until the latter part of the seventies. She was 80 years of age. (Emmet County Republican, Estherville, IA, January 19, 1899)
