            As general superintendent of the Colgate plant of the Pacific Gas & 
Electric Company, F. L. Mix has since November, 1920, been handling the work of 
his office in a creditable manner, and to the entire satisfaction of the 
company.  His birth occurred in St. Paul, Minn., on December 4, 1892, and he is 
the only son of F. T. Mix, a native of Washington, D.C., and at present chief 
clerk in the main office of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company in San 
Francisco, Cal.
            F. L. Mix accompanied his parents and sister Margaret to California 
in 1896 and located at Lompoc; later the family removed to San Jose, and still 
later to Alameda, where Mr. Mix received his education.  After finishing school, 
he was employed as a general clerk in the office of C. C. Moore, engineers.  In 
1911 he entered the employ of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company in San 
Francisco, and after one year was sent to Dixon, where he remained until his 
enlistment in the World War.  He entered the United States Army with Battery A, 
147th Field Artillery, 32nd Division, and within one month was in France; he 
received severe wounds at Argonne Forest, and for three months was in a 
hospital.  He was returned to the United States as a convalescent, and on 
February 1, 1919, received his honorable discharge at Camp Fremont.  He then 
returned to his old position at Dixon, and since that time has been promoted 
three times.  In November, 1920, he was made general superintendent to the 
Colgate plant, where he has charge of eighty men.
            At Sacramento, Cal., in September, 1921, Mr. Mix was married to Miss 
Inez Wilson, born at Dixon and a daughter of E. K. and Mary (Reed) Wilson.  Mrs. 
Mix was graduated from Dixon High School in 1917.  Fraternally, Mr. Mix is a 
member of Woodland Lodge, No. 1299, B.P.O.E.
