Notes:

Name:
Mr. Rix like most young men was brought up on a farm, and in the ordinary acceptance of that term was not liberally educated, though he supplemented by careful study and voluminous reading and research education which the common schools afforded. To a strongly practical training he added by his own exertions unusual literary culture, acquiring among his other accomplishments an almost irresistible fascination for studying the classics. he had a very retentive memory, and could quote pages of almost all the works of which he was familiar.

In his early life he learned the trade of edge-tool making, and proved to be a skillful workman. He taught school nineteen winters, and while teaching in Barnston, Canada, in the winter of 1835, he moved his family there, and after his school closed, he removed to Compton in the same county, and went to work at his trade. The Canadian Rebellion breaking out in the winter of 1836-7, he returned to Littleton, N.H., and after the rebellion was crushed, he returned to Canada and located at king's Croft, in Barnston, and entered into business on his own account. His business here not proving so favorably as he had wished, he returned to the States and located in Rumney, N.H., where he built up a good business, but a financial panic coming on, he met with reverse of fortune, and removed to western Ne York, landing at Hartland, Niagara County, in June, 1844. In the fall of this year removed to Middleport, Oleans County, ten miles away, and in the fall of 1846, he removed to Jeddo, a little village in Orleans County, about five miles from Middleport. Here he did business on his own account till 1851, when he removed to Michigan, locating at Manchester. In 1864, while his son, Guy S., was in the hospital in Washington, with his eg amputated, his wife there taking care of him, Mr. Rix and wife returned to Jeddo especially to care for Guy's children, and remained until 1870, when they returned to Michigan and located in Dowagiac, where their son Thomas resided. Here they remained until death. he was lame from boyhood, caused by his hip being put out of joint, and never being set.

My father had weaknesses (and who of us do not possess many), but I am proud to say that he was a kind-hearted man, an exceedingly generous one - a man who never turned the distressed and disconsolate from his door, but prompt to act in their behalf. Although not an open worshiper of the Great Architect of nature - in fact, to the uninitiated he was completely the reverse in some respects, for which I pardon him through extenuating circumstances - yet his heat beat with almost the tenderness my deae mother possessed, and however rough his expressions, by many misjudged I Know he inwardly worshiped the Great Artificer at nature's shrine, and I hope to meet them both in the happy hunting grounds of that undiscovered country from which no traveler returns.
