Volume Ii With Ownership Signature Of Fanny Bixby Spencer, Dated 1921. Light Wear, Gilt Bright. Fanny Weston Bixby Spencer (1879 ? 1930) Was Born Fanny Weston Bixby In Los Angeles, California, The Youngest Of Nine Surviving Children Of Jotham Bixby; He Had Arrived In California In 1852 From Maine, Where He And Several Cousins Had Formed Flint, Bixby & Company, Which Acquired Major Landholdings, Including The 27,000-Acre Rancho Los Cerritos In What Is Now Long Beach. Fanny Grew Up Wealthy, And Although She Was An Active Philanthropist, When She Died In 1930 Her $2.5 Million Estate Was The Largest Ever Probated In Orange County Up To That Point. Fanny Grew Up On Rancho Los Cerritos, Of Which Jotham Was The Manager. Later, Fanny's Grandfather, The Prominent Abolitionist And Unitarian Minister George Whitefield Hathaway, Came To Live With The Family. Fanny Bixby Wrote About His Abolitionist Activities, Including Turning His House Into A Station On The Underground Railroad, In Her Pamphlet Entitled How I Became A Socialist. Fanny Bixby Was Educated At The Marlborough School In Los Angeles And The Pomona Preparatory School.[3] She Attended Wellesley College For Three Years But Left Without A Degree. At Wellesley, She Studied Sociology With Emily Greene Balch, Who Would Go On To Win The 1946 Nobel Peace Prize. While Still At Wellesley College, She Worked For A Time At The Denison Settlement House In Boston (Founded By Balch) And The Nurse's Settlement House In San Francisco. On Leaving College, She Moved Back To Long Beach, Where She Donated Money To Various Civic Causes, Including Long Beach's First Hospital (Seaside Hospital), And The Walt Whitman School (Private) And Her Settlement House, Both In The Boyle Heights District On The East-Side Of Los Angeles. She And Her Husband Often Invited Ghetto Youth Of Working Mothers To Stay On Their Farm In Orange County To Divert Them From Gangs And Delinquency. In 1907 She Founded What Is Now Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. She Also Helped Found The Town Of Costa Mesa, California. When Long Beach Formed Its Police Force In 1908, Captain Tom Williams Brought Fanny Bixby Onto The Force Because Of Her Extensive Philanthropic Work In The City. She Was Sworn In As A Special Police Matron On January 1, 1908, Making Her One Of The First Women Police Officers In The Country. Fanny Bixby Worked With The Long Beach Police Force For Four Years. An Admirer Of Leo Tolstoy, Fanny Bixby Was A Socialist And A Pacifist. She Published Some Poetry In The California Socialist Party's Newspaper, The Oakland World, And She Attended At Least One Antiwar Meeting In Pasadena Before The Espionage Act Of 1917 Made It Risky To Speak Out Against The War. Her 1920 Play The Jazz Of Patriotism Was About A Woman Who Is Ostracized For Refusing To Salute The Flag. It Premiered At The Egan Theater (Later The Musart Theater) In Downtown Los Angeles. Fanny Bixby Met Her Future Husband, W. Carl Spencer, At A Socialist Party Meeting In 1917. They Moved To Costa Mesa (Then Named Harper) In 1919, Where They Raised Five Adopted Children And Supported Many Others. The Couple Donated Land To The City For A Park And A Library. A Couple Of Years Before She Died, She Wrote To Her Cousin Sarah Bixby Smith: "I Have Three Lines Of Work, Bringing Up My Foster Children, Helping My Neighbors (Mostly Japanese Farmers) And Banging My Head Against The Stone Wall Of Militarism And Conservatism That Hems Me In.? Her Papers Are Housed At The Rancho Los Cerritos Museum.
