W. C. NIXON, farmer; P. 0. Lebanon; was born April 5, 1838; he is a son of Samuel and Rachel (Hatfield) Nixon, natives of Ohio, of English descent; he received a common-school education while living on the farm with his father. He has spent the greater part of his life on the farm, and, by steadiness of habits and close attention to business, he has made farming prove more than ordinarily successful. During the years from 1860 to 1867, he conducted a grist-mill between Lebanon and Morrow, known as the Stubbs' Mill. In 1868, he married Hannah Vandoren, daughter of Peter Vandoren, an old settler of Warren County, who now lives in Sangamon Co., Ill. By this marriage, six children were born, viz., Frank V., John H., Peter E., Amy M., Mary E. and Adolphus. Mr. Nixon is a Democrat and has .held the office of Justice of the Peace in Washington Township.
