I've recovered an old photograph identified as Lew HIXSON of Beaconsville, IA which was taken at the Brands Studio in Chicago, IL. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Lew likely in his 20's at the time it was taken. Someone has also written "Lue HICKSON mail" and "please return" on the back of the photograph in addition to his name. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Lew and his family: Lew H. HIXSON was b. 16 Mar 1864 in Vinton Co., OH to parents Benoni Bensom HIXSON of HIXON (1818-1894) and Ivy HOFFHINES or HOFFHINE (1824-1907) who were married 18 Feb 1858 in Vinton Co., OH. Lew was one of 4 children born to this couple including, William Perley; Mary or May R.; Louisa or Louia; and Lew H. HIXSON all born between 1858 and 1864. Lew’s father was married previously and had four additional children including Naomi; Martha Jane; Mary Emily; and Sarah S. HIXSON or HIXON, born between 1842 and 1848. Lew married Ona “Onie” Belle MACK (1867-1943) on 7 Mar 1894. Lew died 22 Jan 1919 in Los Angeles, CA and he is buried in the Glendale Cemetery in Des Moines, IA. I am hoping to locate someone from this HIXSON Family so that the photograph can be returned to family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
