SSW: Norma - Research Note: - Cassville Democrat, May 10, 1945 - "HUGH BRIXEY DEAD AFTER MONTHS OF PATIENT SICKNESS" The passing of Hugh S. Brixey, former sheriff and superintendent of Roaring River State Park, brought relief to patient sufferer of months despite the tender and loving care of members of his devoted family. Death came Sunday morning at 2:15 at the family home on Gravel Street. The death of Mr. Brixey was not unexpected because his condition had been serious for weeks and was such as to cause anxiety of friends for more than a year. He was afflicted with arthritis. He was a son of the late former sheriff G. M. Brixey and was born on Washburn Prairie on July 7, 1888, and lived in this community his entire life and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Aside from serving a term as sheriff and 11 years as park superintendent he was engaged in farming. He filled both official positions in a courteous and efficient manner. Before retiring from the park operation he had a contract for garbage at Camp Chaffee, Ark. and carried the business on in a successful manner in connection with a son-in-law, Amos Horner. It was during this time his health became so serious and forced him to retire from the business and the privacy of his home with a hope of regaining his health. His mother was a daughter of the well-known Montgomery family of the county. Surviving are Mrs. Brixey and two daughters, Mrs. Amos Horner and Mrs. Harry Stacey and four grandchildren. A son Lt. Hugh S. Brixey, Jr. was killed in a plane crash in China. An Air Medal was recently made him posthumously; Mrs. Brixey is the former Norma Thomas, daughter of C. A. Thomas, also a former sheriff and well-known citizen. A half-brother, Wilson Brixey, lives in California. - Death Certificate: He was the son of General M. and Elizabeth (Montgomery) Brixey. Obit

KILLED IN PLANE CRASH IN CHINA" Combined cable and telegraph lines ticked the sad news of the death of Lt. Hugh Brixey, Jr. son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Brixey of Cassville, in an airplane crash over China, Sunday October 15. The news stilled the voices of the many friends of this fine young man who died, like many other, that the principles of the country may live and freedom assured everyone. The news came Tuesday morning in a message from the War Department. There were no details, Mrs. Brixey was here with her parents-in-law where she had made her home since her husband went overseas. Lt. Brixey was a native of this community and a young man held in the highest esteem and respect by all who knew him. He was graduated from the Cassville High School and attended the universities of Missouri and Arkansas, enlisting in the Air Corps from the latter over two years ago. He was about 26 years of age. After intensive training in California and other western air fields he was assigned to the supply command and stationed in India to take supplies to the United States forces in China. He was expecting to receive a furlough in a short time and visit home by Thanksgiving was being anticipated with great glee by Mrs. Brixey and his parents, who were making great plans for the occasion. Surviving besides those named are two sisters, Mrs. Amos Horner, temporarily located in Arizona where her husband is employed, and Mrs. Harry Stacey of Miami, Okla. The news was indeed a shock to the community and the many friends of this fine family extend their most sincere sympathy to the grief stricken over their loss of a husband, son and brother with so many sterling qualities. - Son of Hugh Brixey Sr. and Norma Thomas.
