Annixter lost his life in a tragic uprising on August 22, 1910. He was born on February 3, 1883 to Elma Ruth and Henry. An avid farmer, Annixter moved west as a young man in search of his own land and his own life. Annixter worked his land from sun up until sun down and from planting until harvest. In the spring of 1910, Annixter’s life was changed for the better when he married his farmhand’s daughter, Hilda. His quiet and rugged demeanor won her heart, and his work ethic won him respect from his friends and acquaintances. However, his lifestyle made him an enemy of the Railroad. Tired of succumbing to the Railroad’s terms, Annixter and his fellow farmers took a brave stand against the Octopus. Despite their valiant fight, many fell including the young and promising Annixter. Annixter is preceded in death by his loving parents. He will be greatly missed by those he left behind.
