The family of seven existed in a shanty 12x12, with no floor, during the winter of 1856. In the meantime Huxley built a log "mansion" 18x16 on the north side of State street, a little east of the center of Block 27, in the newly platted town of Guthrie Center. It was the first one in the town. Ann Huxley's world was her own family circle. She was a modest, retiring and loving soul, kind, patient and motherly. The hardships and trials of the pioneer days were ever met with a smile of submission and fortitude. She was a typical home keeper. She had no business elsewhere. Society and community affairs were without interest to her. Her husband was true, faithful and trustworthy in all of his affairs, both official and personal. She likewise was devoted and consecrated unto her family. - Record Url: http: //interactive.ancestry.com/27183/dvm_LocHist011432-00024-1 - Source Information: Ancestry.com.
