Prominent Men of West Virginia, p. 858
[FELIX JOSEPHUS BAXTER
AMONG the members of the West Virginia Senate in 1877 and '79 was F. J. Baxter who was elected from the Mountain district to serve his constituents, and did so with that energy and intelligence characteristic of our brawny mountain men. He was born in Sutton, West Virginia, August 10, 1830, and has never resided outside the State. The common schools and his own rearing, study and observation fitted him for the varied duties he has since performed with credit to himself. He was salesman in a store about the time he arrived at maturity; but having prepared therefor, he began practicing law in Braxton county, and has since continued it, having been Prosecuting Attorney for that and Nicholas county at different times. He also engaged in farming, and was Surveyor of Braxton county from '55 to '58. He was a soldier in the late war, and also ably represented his district in the State Senate. In 1889 he was United States Fish Commissioner, serving acceptably to the Government and profitably to the people of the State.]
