Hit the Road Again The "pilgrims" were lured away by the fine day and good roads, after beir.g tied up all week in the store. and wended their way to Lincoln, where, with Mr. O. J. Hitchcock as the third party, they visited the Evangelical Lutheran church, 11th and F streets, where the Rev. Maz- ner feeds the flock. It was a refresh ing and. inspiring service. Our ob servation was that the service was very solemn and dignified no hurry ing and no "First, second and fourth stanza" was sung, but the whole hymns and no connection broken. The theme of the discourse was "Knowing and Growing," according to I Thes.. 4:1-7. First to know God's will, be born into the family of God's children: then to grow in the Christian graces and keep our vessel (our body) into which God has plac ed an immortal soul, clean and fit for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Bixby Killed Instantly as Car Upsets Doctor Bixby Also Injured in Acci dent Thursday While En Route to Battle Creek. Mrs. A. L. Bixby, wife of Dr. A. L. Bixby, State Journal poet-philosopher, was instantly killed and Doc tor Bixby was injured, tho not ser iously, when the car driven by him went into a ditch ten miles north of Seward on the Sunshine highway Thursday morning shortly after 10 o'clock. The couple were en route to Battle Creek where Mr. Bixby was to deliver a lecture before the coun ty medical association. The victims were taken to Seward by passing mo torists and Dr. Bixby's injuries were attended by Dr. Bert Morrow. He sustained a broken collar bone, two broken ribs and his arm was badly bruised. The accident occurred as the car was descending a rather steep hill. Altho the road is gravel those who were first at the scene said that the car had skidded and gone into the ditch. The gravel was wet and the tracks of the car indicated that the brakes may have been applied as the car started down the incline causing it to skid. The embankment is not high there, about four or five feet, and the car did not go clear but landed on its side. W. H. Frost and wife of Lincoln were first to the scene of the acci dent and took Doctor Bixby to Sew ard. Doctor Bixby said he was driving at a moderate rate of speed and en countered a steep hill north of Sew ard. It was freshly graveled and his car slipped off the grade and upset in the ditch. He was caught under the car and couldn't see his wife. When he spoke to her and she didn't answer, he thought she was probably unconscious. Mary Adelle Bates was married to A. L. Bixby at Estherville, la.. May 14, 1878. Five children were born to them, four of whom are now liv ing: Mrs. X. M. Johnson. Salt Lake City, Utah; Mrs. Charles Burns, Lin coln. Neb.; Roy Bixby. Portersville, Calif., and Lorena Bixby, Pocatello, Idaho. Lillian passed away many years ago at the age of eleven, as will be remembered- by the readers of one of Mr. Bixby's most pathetic poems. All the living children had planned to be home May 14 for the celebration of their parents' fiftieth wedding anniversary. Mrs. Bixby came to Nebraska J , with her husband in 1878 soon af ter their marriage and pioneered courageously with him first on the Pawnee reservation in Nance coun ty, and later in North Platte, where Doctor Bixby practiced medicine un til the spring of 81. The record of her helpfulness in all Doctor Bixby's enterprises has been recorded by him for many years under 'Daily Drift" with the home name. "Mollie." Since 1S92, when Doctor Bixby came to Lincoln to conduct a column on The Journal, having previously been in newspaper work at Columbus and Fullerton. Mrs. Bixby had made her home and family her first in terest, altho attracting also a large circle of other friends thru her sin cerity and kindliness. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and for many years affiliated with Trinity at Sixteenth and A streets. State Journal.
