CHAUNCEY E. SIXBURY ONE OF ELLWOOD FAMILY
One of first white children born in DeKalb County, and veteran of Civil War, died at his home in Woodward, Iowa, leaving large family.
Chauncey E . Sixbury, son of Joseph Sixbury and Melinda (Ellwood) Sixbury , who came to DeKalb county in 1837, the second year of the settlement of the county by the whites, and who was born here in 1838, and is said to have been the second white male child born in this county, died at his home in Woodward, Iowa, on September 4. He was a cousin of the late Abram Ellwood, and Mrs. W. H. Rogers, his mother having been one of the widely known ten Ellwood brothers and sisters, and he was an uncle of Dr. Schuyler Colfax of DeKalb. The Woodward Enterprise of Sept. 6, says: Chauncey E . Sixbury was born at Sycamore, Illinois, May 30, 1838, and died at his home in Woodward, Iowa, September 4th, 1917, aged 79 years, 3 months and 5 days. Mr. Sixbury and Miss Jennie Ainly were united in Marriage, April 11 , 1866, at Sycamore, Illinois. To them were born ten children, four sons and six daughters, viz, Joseph A., Mrs. Nettie Kendall, Mrs. Mary E. Brooks, Fred, John, Julia, George, Cora, Aljean, and Katie,all of whom, are now living; except Katie, who died in 1893. Mr. Sixbury moved with his family from his home near Sycamore, Illinois, in the spring of 1882, where they resided until 1902, when they moved to their home in Woodward, where Mr. Sixbury died as above. Chauncey E. Sixbury was the son of Joseph and Melinda Sixbury who were pioneers in DeKalb Co., Ill., where they were widely known and highly respected for many years. In 1862 he enlisted in Co. A 105th regiment Illinois Infantry, in which he served with credit until mustered out at the close of the Civil War. He was a charter member of J. W. Guthrie Post Dept. of Iowa, in which he served many years as Commander and in which he remained an active and interested member while he lived. The funeral services were held from the home this afternoon conducted by Rev. Conrey, of the M. E. church . A large crowd of sympathizing neighbors and friends were in attendance. Appropriate music was furnished by a quartet composed of Miss Eva Parks, Mrs. Cassie Burkhart, and Messrs. D. J. and V. B. Rhoads, with Mrs. Carrie Benson at the piano. The floral offerings were many and profuse, showing the esteem in which the deceased was held. The members of the G. A. R. post attended in a body.
Interment was in the Woodword cemetery beside the daughter who preceded the father to the better land.
Out-of-town people in attendance at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Height and daughter, Florence of Dawson; Mr. and Mrs. Will Moore, of Lawton, Oklahoma; Dr. Colfax Schuyler, DeKalb, Illinois; Mrs. B. G. Wood, Chicago, and others.
