The TALES you probably never heard about

JANE HIXON

[Welland Telegraph, 21 January 1908]

It is with regret that we announce in today’s Telegraph, the death of Mrs. Jane Hixon, widow of the  late Timothy Hixon, at her home on Division Street on Sunday afternoon, at the age of 74 years. After Mr. Hixon’s death the deceased lady removed from Port Robinson to Welland, where she has continuously lived. Mrs. Hixon was a staunch member of the Presbyterian Church. The deceased has been a sufferer from rheumatism for many years, but the immediate cause of her death was cancer. She leaves four brothers-John Orr of town, one brother in Washington, D.C., and two brothers in Windsor, also four sisters- Mrs. Findlay of Crowland, Mrs. Wm. Robertson of Port Robinson, Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. McCredie of Willoughby. The funeral takes place from her late residence at one p.m. today. A short service will be held at the house by the Rev. J.D. Cunningham. Burial will be at Doan’s Ridge cemetery.
