      DEATH OF MEMBER PIONEER FAMILY
      Fred Sixbury, son of Channcey Sixbury, Civil War Veteran, and Grandson of Joseph Sixbury, One of Our First Settlers, died in Iowa. Fred Sixbury, who was born in Sycamore in 1877, the fifth of a family of ten children, was not well known here, as he left when he was five years of age, but his family, who were prominently identified with the history of this county in its formative period were prominent here for two generations. The death of Fred Sixbury, which occurred at his home at Story, Boone county, Iowa, on Jan. 24 last, recalls some of the early history of this community. Fred Sixbury died at his home at Elma, Iowa , on Jan. 24 last, survived by three children: Dr. Carl Sixbury of Lamoni, Iowa; Harold Sixbury of Davenport, Iowa, and Miss Carmalette Sixbury of Elma, Iowa. He is also survived by four sisters and three brothers. His father, Chauncey Sixbury, a large, robust hearty man, a veteran of the Civil war, for many years conducted a farm northeast of Sycamore in the Charter Grove neighborhood, and everybody hereabout was acquainted with him. He moved with his large family to Boone county, Iowa, in 1882, and here remained until his death. Chauncey Sixbury's father, the grandfather of Fred Sixbury, was Joseph Sixbury, a native of Amsterdam, N.Y., who married Malinda Ellwood, whose six brothers were prominent in the earily history of this county and for many years later. Mr and Mrs. Joseph Sixbury resided for many years with Mrs. Sixbury's brother Chauncey Ellwood, for some time mayor and widely known, for whom her son was named. They occupied the Ellwood homestead on the south limits of Sycamore now owned by Mrs. J. B. Nesbitt, to which was attached considerable land which is now subdivided, one of the streets being named Chauncey street.
      Joseph Sixbury and his wife; Malinda Ellwood-Sixbury came to Dekalb county in 1837, the third year of the settlement of the county, when it was a wilderness. Although bands of Indians had been driven out some three years before, there remained many scattered families who made their temporary hemes in the various groves, who were among the many disagreeable features with which settlers were obliged to contend. From the surrounding groves the Indians made incursions into the settlements to beg food and other favors. In relating some of the habits of the aborigines Mrs. Joseph Sixbury said that they would appear at the cabin doors of settlers and cast their blankets inside. If the occupants allowed the blankets to remain, the Indians considered it an invitation to come in and take their repose; but if the blankets were taken up and placed outside, the visitors accepted the act as a refusal to allow them to tarry, and picking up their blankets they passed on. Soon after the arrival here of the Sixburys the Indians were all removed by the government to the vicinity of Council Bluffs. Uncle Joe Sixbury and his wife were devout Methodists '97 of the kind that was called shouting Methodists, and no one could be mistaken as to what were their religious convictions. Joseph Sixbury was a steward and class-leader in church, was assessor of the township for many years and was elected county treasurer for two successive terms. His grandson, Fred Sixbury, who died a few days ago, is survived by children and grandchildren, the latter of the fourth generation of Sixburys descendants of Joseph Sixbury who came here from Montgomery county, N.Y.
