Brittingham Hixon Lumber Company

We might be related? Thomas Evans (funny that was Mom's maiden name) Brittingham was born to Dr. Irvin Baird and Mary J. League Brittingham on May 18th 1860 in Hannibal, Mo. So maybe distant??? He started out with us "poor" Brittingham's of Mo. Both Thomas's Father and Grandfather were doctors. Thomas attended Hannibal College. He finally relocated to Wisconsin in 1885, where he founded the Brittingham and Hixon Lumber company, which expanded to a chain of 24 lumber yards in several states. The company became one of the largest retail lumber yard chains in the country. Let's go visit Madison and pretend we are the "wealthy" Madison Brittingham's for a day!
