Read More	Seymour was the third in order of birth in a family of seven sons and three daughters and resided at the place of his nativity until nineteen years of age, when he accompanied his parents on their removal westward to Sycamore, De Kalb county, IL. In early life he had learned and followed the shoemaker's trade, (an early trade of his father), and after becoming a resident of Illinois he engaged in the produce business, shipping butter, eggs and poultry both during and after the Civil war. He remained a resident of Sycamore until 1873, when he removed westward to Story County, IA, settling in Sherman township, where he purchased and improved a section of land. The Hix home was known far and wide for its generous and lavish hospitality. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Hix ever refused any one a meal or a night's lodging. They indeed, kept open house and always had extra plates on the table to be ready for any guests that might come in. In addition a large force of workmen were employed on the farm in the operation of the hay presses and at times they were kept busy all winter. The threshers, too, were employed for a long period, for Mr. Hix carried on farming extensively.
