Newell Willard Bixby, Nov. 9, 1842, VT BIO: "In July 1846, she and her husband were appointed pioneer missionaries to Iowa. They started for the territory of Iowa, by canal through New York, by boat on the Lakes, and with a horse across Wisconsin which made the journey long. Remaining for a time with the Pike Grove Church, Wis., they reached Iowa in June 1847, and soon settled at Lodomillo, later Edgewood. Her husband, Rev. Bixby, was the only ordained Free Baptist in the state. After a year they had organized a Quarterly Meeting, consisting of four churches. Ruby Bixby, while in Wisconsin, had received from the Honey Creek Quarterly Meeting license to preach. Though not receiving ordaination, she was not merely an assistant pastor, but was an independent, self-reliant preacher. Sometimes she was the only minister available, and if there were converts to be baptized, she would return home and send her husband to do the official duties. At that time, it was unpoplar for a woman to preach, and though it was said that "Sister Bixby was the better preacher" many opposed because of her gender. But they toiled on, and in 1853, the Iowa Yearly Meeting reported fourten churches. Their labors continued to receive divine blessing. She was a most consistent and devoted Christian. Love was manifest in her daily example and in her ministry. Her sermons were persuasive, and her ministry, both as pastor and evangelist, was more than ordinarily successful. After a brief illness, Jan. 5, 1877, "at break of day" her earthly ministry closed. Her husband continued to occupy a position of great influence in the state, being a member of the General Conference, and was active in caring for all the denominational interests.' --from Free Baptist Cyclopedia, pub. 1889, by Burgess and Ward.
