Y., where he settled in the Haskell neighborhood. About the year 1819 he bought land in Norfolk, and there established a home. In February, 1828, he married Marcia Haskell.
Charles N. Bixby, esquire, a lawyer and register in bankruptcy, residing at Norwood, is his only son and child. His first wife died in May, 1847, and in 1849 he married Harriet Wilson of Canton, who survives him. He resided on his farm in Norfolk until the fall of 1870, when he sold it and purchased a house in the village of Morley, where he remained till the time of his death, July 11, 1881, aged eighty-two years, seven months and twenty-five days. He was a man of generous impulses, a kind husband, father and neighbor, and honest in his dealings with all. His education was limited, but he possessed solid character, accumulated a competence of this world's goods, and exerted a benign and wide influence in the community in which he lived.
