I have blogged about Dayton E. Mix and included his kids and such. Today, I want to highlight his father: John E. Mix.
John was born 28 August 1864 to John Mix and Nancy A. Thurber Mix in Bolivar, NY (Allegany County). He died 25 Jan 1951 in the same town in which he was born.
On 15 April 1882, again in Bolivar, he married the former Mary E. Knapp. Mary had also been born, and later died, in Bolivar, NY. She was born 22 July 1865 and died 6 Aug 1932.
Their children:
Maude R. Mix (DOB: 17 March 1883)
Dayton E. Mix (DOB: 28 Feb 1886)
Leona G. Mix (DOB: 25 Dec 1887)
Morton E. Mix (DOB: 18 Sep 1890)
Lena E. Mix (DOB: 26 Jan 1894)
Leon E. Mix (DOB: 23 April 1896)
After Mary died, he married Winifred Keesler on 9 December 1934 in Wellsville, NY (Allegany County). At this time, I have no record of any joint children or step-children.
A few random notes I have, related to me by my grandfather John Dayton Mix (1913-1994), who was grandson of John E. Mix:
- John E. went to school through the fourth grade.
- Occupations included building oil rigs and being a carpenter
- He was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church
- He escaped from a building building in 1924. To read more, click here.
About Me
- Dayton D. Mix
- I'm a husband, a dad, a son, a grandson, a pastor, & now a grandpa, too! Those are the basic hats I wear in my daily life. I was born & raised in rural Pennsylvania couple of miles from the New York border in a small town, Shinglehouse (Potter County). I struggle with my weight & my own quirks just like everyone else does. I became a United Methodist pastor in 1996 and was ordained in 2003. While I'm officially Methodist, I also consider myself a “charismatic” Christian, as well as an “evangelical”, although not everything identified with either of those labels fits me perfectly. I enjoy genealogy but seldom have time to do much with it. I like playing with eBay. I like to read, watch movies, camp, hike, and talk. I LOVE to write, but usually don't worry too much about formal grammar... instead choosing to write as I probably would speak. And even though I can spell pretty well, I'm a lousy typist, so be gracious. I update my blogs as often as I can, but I have a real life that demands me NOT being at the computer all the time... so there are dry spells!
