ADIX There are many excellent farmers in Magnolia township, Harrison county, Iowa, and among that number may be mentioned John H. T. Adix, who has been living here since 1899. His parents were both born in Germany, and the thrift which characterizes the sturdy people of that country, has been inherited by their sons. Starting in as a renter, Mr. Adix was eventually able to buy land of his own and now has an excellent little farm where he is making a comfortable living for himself and family. He is a quiet, unassuming man, kindly disposed toward the faults of others and always ready and willing to do his share toward making the community in which he lives a better place in which to reside. John H. T. Adix, the son of John and Henrietta (Goetsch) Adix, was born on August 28, 1873 in Boone county, Iowa. His parents reared a family of five children, all of whom are living, Charles, a farmer of Boone county; William of Boone county; John H. T. of Harrison county; Mrs. Catherine Murken of Boone county; and Mrs. Ida Good of Boone county. John Adix Sr. was born in Germany and left his native land when a young man and came to America. He located in Wisconsin and was living in that state when the Civil War broke out. He enlisted in a Wisconsin regiment and served with distinction until the close of the war. After returning from the war, Mr. Adix located in Boone county, Iowa, where he farmed until his death, July 7, 1878. Some time after his death, his widow, who was born in Germany in 1838, was married to William Doerder, also born in Germany in 1848. Mr. Doerder is a retired farmer and now makes his home at Boone, Iowa. To the second marriage of Mrs. Doerder were born two children: Mrs. Pauline Koppenhaver of Boone, Iowa, and Albert Doerder, who is farming the old home place in Boone county. The mother of John H. T. Adix died on April 6, 1914. Mr. Adix was only four years of age when his father died. He was reared on his stepfather's farm and attended the public and German parochial schools of his home neighborhood. He remained at home until he was 23 years of age and then began working on farms in his county. He came to Harrison county in 1900 and rented a farm in Magnolia township where he continued renting until 1909, at which time he bought his present farm of one hundred acres, six of which are in natural timber. He has a comfortable home in a picturesque spot in the valley, about one-fourth farm and raises as much stock as he can feed from its product. John Jochan Fernand Adix, Sr. was born August 24, 1831, in Meclenburg Schwerine, Germany, came to America May 9, 1853, landed in Madison, Wisconsin, enlisted in the War in Company D, twenty-ninth Infantry and served four years. He married Henrietta Goetsch, April 18, 1869, who came to America in 1865. She was born in Province Pommern, Germany, April 10, 1838. Her father and mother lived together for more than nine years when the father died July 7, 1878. Five children blessed this union. Her mother was married again May 26, 1878, to William Doerder, who came to America in May 21, 1876. To this union two children were born. Mrs. Doerder died April 6, 1914. Mr. Adix was married in 1900 to Lizzie Mensching, who was born in Magnolia township on October 4, 1881, and is a daughter of Henry and Julia (Wendroff) Mensching, early settlers of Harrison county. Her parents are still living at Magnolia township. Mr. And Mrs. Adix have one daughter, Erma, who was born in 1904. Mr. Adix and his wife are loyal members of the German Lutheran church and are interested in its welfare. He gives the Republican party his hearty support, but has never cared to take an active part in political life. source of biographical sketch: "History of Harrison County, Iowa: its people, industries and institutions, with biographical sketches of representative citizens and genealogical records of many of the old families", 1915, pages 938 - 940
