Wanda, I'm on the RootsWeb mailing list for Nixes. My great uncle recently passed away. Here's the write-up for his obituary. Birmingham (AL) News, September 11, 1998 Nix, Joseph, J., age 95 of Talladega, died September 10, 1998. He was a former resident of Birmingham, member of Central Park Baptist Church, and was retired from U.S. Steel. Survivors include: wife, Edith A. Nix; sons, C. T. Nix of Largo, FL and William Nix of Birmingham; stepsons, James Armstrong of Talladega and Ralph Lowery of Trussville; step-daughters, Daisy Barker of Pell City and Johnnie Mae Staggs of Odenville; 4 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren. Graveside services will be Friday at 2:00 P.M. at Elmwood Cemetery. The family will receive friends Friday from 12:00 noon until service time. This was my grandfather's sole surviving sibling. (Joseph was always referred to as "Uncle Junior," so I assume that he was named after his father.) Their father was Joe (Joseph?) Peter Nix (1869-1953) and their mother was Rebecca Webb (1871-1911). Joe Peter Nix's mother's maiden name was Penelope Collins. I don't know his father's name. I know he died in Chilton County, AL and I believe he was born there. My Grandfather was John Harrison Nix (1899-1987). He was married to Sallie Armstrong (1896-1981). My father was Harold Lee Nix (1925-1988). Feel free to share any and all of this information with the mailing list. It might lead to my finding someone with more information about my Nix ancestors. Thanks, James Lenard (Jim) Nix
