Henry S. Hitchcock Biography
HENRY S. HITCHCOCK, one of the first to settle in Richland township, is now one of the substantial agriculturists of that portion of Edmunds county. His success has been due to his own perseverance and good management, and his efforts have not been expended for his own good alone but for the upbuilding of the better interests of his community. He is one of the prominent citizens of that region, and takes an active part in matters pertaining to the growth of the thriving district where he chooses to make his home. He is an ex-soldier who may well be proud of his army record, and no soldier ever served his country with a more loyal heart or earnest effort. Mr. Hitchcock has a fine estate, and his home farm is the southeast quarter of section 22, in Richland township, Edmunds county. Here he is passing his declining years enjoying the peace and comforts of a pleasant home.
Our subject was born in Eaton township, Loraine county, Ohio, January 17, 1839, and was the eldest in a family of five children, two sons and three daughters, born to Mark S. and Polly (Morgan) Hitchcock. The
paternal grandfather of our subject, Manly Hitchcock, was of English descent, and the maternal grandfather, Ira Morgan, was a native of Connecticut, and both were by occupation farmers. The parents of our subject were married in Loraine county, Ohio, and the father was a farmer during the greater part of his life, but engaged in the hardware business during the last years of life at Jackson, Michigan.
Our subject was reared on a farm and had little school advantages, those early days affording the country pupil a limited education. Mr. Hitchcock engaged in farming in 1869 in Ohio and afterward went with his family to Bloomingdale, Michigan, and was a farmer there for sixteen years. The farm was well improved, consisted of fifty acres; a small stream running through the land afforded good water for stock,
and an orchard of one hundred and fifty trees with small fruits in abundance made a model farm, but sickness visited the family and three children and the wife our subject died while there and the health of
Mr. Hitchcock was failing. He went to Edmunds county, South Dakota, in 1882 and located on his present farm.
He erected a ten by twelve shanty and was his own housekeeper for two years, at the end of which time the family joined him in the new home. He had a small house erected, and a barn and granary and the
improvements on the property had already begun. When he located in Dakota Richland township was the extreme western limit of the surveyed land, and all supplies were hauled from Aberdeen, eighteen miles
distant. Our subject now possesses one hundred and sixty acres of land, and cultivates about one hundred and fifty acres. He engages mostly in raising small grains, but is interested to some extent in the raising of cattle and horses.
Mr. Hitchcock enlisted in Company H, One Hundred and Third Ohio Infantry, July 22, 1862, and spent the winter of 1862 -63 in Frankfort, Kentucky, and the following summer went through Tennessee and Kentucky after Morgan's men. Many skirmishes and active duty kept them on the move through the summer of 1864, and the winter following our subject was taken ill with typhoid fever at Louisville, Kentucky. He was discharged early in 1865 and went back to old home.
Our subject was married in 1859 to Sophia Hamlin, a native of Dover, Ohio. Three sons and one daughter were born of this union. Mrs. Hitchcock died July 2, 1870. Our subject remarried, Miss Annie Graham
becoming his wife August 20, 1871. Mrs. Hitchcock is a native of Preble county, Ohio, and was born in 1847. Her grandfather, James Graham, was a native of Virginia. Her father, Joseph Graham, was a harness maker by occupation, and the mother died when Mrs. Hitchcock was but twelve years of age, after which the family was broken up and she was thrown on her own resources for a livelihood. She was reared in Morning Sun, Ohio, and there received her education. Two children, a son and a daughter, have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock, as follows: Fred S. and Ella C. Our subject has been called upon to fill various local offices, and has given his service freely, and for the good of all. He has been a member of the town board two years, of the school board nine years, and seven years has acted as assessor. He has been a delegate to many county conventions and advocates the principles of the Republican party.
Henry married Sophia Amanda Hamlin on 20 Nov 1858 in Lorain County, Ohio U.S.A.. Sophia (daughter of David Hamlin and Roxana Crocker) was born on 18 Mar 1841 in Dover, Tuscarawas, Ohio U.S.A.; died on 30 Jun 1870 in Bloomingdale Township, Van Buren, Michigan U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]

Abraham was a soldier in the Civil War, having enrolled, September 5, 1861 at LaPorte, Indiana for three years. He was a member of Company C, 9th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and on December 26, 1862 at the battle of Lavargne was severely wounded. He was discharged September 15, 1864. [http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/a/i/Philip-D-Bailey/GENE1-0007.html]
A daughter of Abraham, who had not reached her ninth birthday when her father died, wrote of him as follows: "He exacted obedience and might have been considered stern, but he never seemed so to me; he must have been quite patient , for he helped me all one summer after I had failed in the second grade. I do not remember any coercion about the study, for I distinctly remember that I was tempted to give up when I reached the place where the fine print began. It seems the decision to continue was entirely my own. When I was small I sat beside him a great deal on winter days and remember that, though I had two places to play, I was never allowed to have more than one strewn with paper dolls, etc. at a time. When I went to the other place the one where I had been playing had to be put in order first. I have always been thankful for that training in order. My father's word was counted good and he was able to say "It's alright" before his sudden death. He was one of those whose life was shortened as a result of his three years in the army."

Married by Samuel Holdeman, Justice of the Peace.
Less than three years after marriage Abraham and Elizabeth moved to Noble Township, Branch County, Michigan, where a few Mennonite families had settled shortly before, and in a neighborhood where there had seldom been any religious services. As early as 1866 Mennonite ministers made trips to Branch County, and John M. Brenneman has reported a visit he made there when on November 20, 1867 a meeting was held at the home of Abraham Holdeman, where two persons were received into the church. The membership then numbered twenty-eight, and they were in need of a meeting-house. In 1873 Abraham moved with his family back to Elkhart County, Indiana near Wakarusa, and later near Nappanee, but returned to Branch County, Michigan. The final move was to Bloomingdale Township, Van Buren County, Michigan.
Abraham was a soldier in the Civil War, having enrolled, September 5, 1861 at LaPorte, Indiana for three years. He was a member of Company C, 9th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and on December 26, 1862 at the battle of Lavargne was severely wounded. He was discharged September 15, 1864.

After a long illness, Mark S. Hitchcock died at his residence, No. 506 West Main street, Oct. 18, 1886, in the 66th year of his age. Some weeks ago Mr. Hitchcock was stricken with typhoid fever, but had nearly recovered, when a severe cold developed a chronic urinary trouble which ended his life.
Mark S. Hitchcock was born in Ontario county, New York, in 1821, his parents, Manly and Chloe Hitchcock, being natives of Waterbury, Conn. They moved to Lorain county, Ohio, in 1824, and lived in Cleveland until their death. While a youth Mark Hitchcock worked on a farm summers and attended district school winters until he married Miss Polly Morgan, at the age of twenty years, and then engaged in buying and shipping live stock for several years, after which he embarked in the grocery business, which he followed in connection with farming until 1864, when he was elected sheriff of Lorain county and held the office for four years. He removed to Jackson county in 1868 and purchased the farm three miles north of this city, which he owned until last year, when he sold it to Charles R. Durand, and bought the store, No. 188, in the Durand block. In 1879 he bought the hardware stock of Rice & McConnel in this city and managed it one year in partnership with his son-in-law, George W. Fifield, who then sold out and a new firm was organized January 1, 1880, with M. S. Hitchcock, Reuben E. Clark and Charles S. Hitchcock as partners. Three years later Mr. Hitchcock sold his interest in the business and the firm became Clark, Helmer & Houk, who conducted the business a years and then transferred it back to M. S. Hitchcock & Co., the present firm. In 1880 Mr. Hitchcock purchased an interest in the Eureka Coal Co. and was elected superintendent and treasurer the same year.
Mr. Hitchcock’s first wife died in May, 1854, leaving five children, and two years later he married Mary A. Bush, of Lorain, Ohio, who survives him.
During his illness all of Mr. Hitchcock’s children were at his bedside, but, with the belief that he was recovering, his son Henry returned to his home in Nebraska some days ago, and his daughter, Mrs. Henry Kennedy, returned to her home at Tougaloo, Mississippi. The other children are Wallace W. Hitchcock, grocer, of 504 North Blackstone street; Mrs. George W. Fifield, 420 Williams street; Mrs. David Town, of Blackman; Charles S. Hitchcock, [p.69] No. 240 West Main Street, and Miss Clara, who resides with her parents.
Mr. Hitchcock was a prominent and active member of the First Methodist Episcopal church, a man of good business ability and highly esteemed by a very wide circle of friends.

The following facts concerning the teaching career of George Holdeman in Ohio were taken from Chester Township records: " George Holdeman taught the winter term of school 1844 and 1845 in District No. Two which was the next district due north of District No. Six, and known to-day as Science Point District by the same number, and that on March 12, 1845 was paid $45.50 for his services, and the winter of 1846 and 1847 George Holdeman taught the school of District No. Eleven, today kown as Red Swamp, and on March 22, 1847 drew $52.00 for his wages. The following winter, 1847 and 1848, he again taught in District No. Two and on march 16, 1848 he was paid $52.00. (Harvey S. Rutt, "History of Chester Township, Wayne County, Ohio, P 26.)
On November 20, 1839, George Holdeman and wife bought from Simon Vanosdal a forty acre tract of land, which was the south one-half of the south half of the southeast quarter of section five in Chester Township. This land was sold on September 2, 1848, twenty acres to Isaac Young and twenty to Susannah Cook.
In the year 1848 George Holdeman and family came to Elkhart County, Indiana, and lived during the first year in Elkhart Township, in which township the Frederick Landis family had settled. They had seven children at this time. They then moved to Olive Township and purchased from the government September 2, 1849 the forty acres of the southwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section thirty-five of township thirty-six (Olive); this tract was sold for sixty dollars to Susannah Miller July 30, 1850. On May 13, 1850, George and Anna Holdeman bought from Henry Yoder of Mahoning County, Ohio, for five hundred dollars the southwest quarter of section seven, 130.55 acres of township thirty-five (Locke). On October 11, 1858 they bought for three hundred dollars the north half of the southwest quarter of section thirty-four in Olive Township, containing 120 acres, and April 12, 1865 from John H. and Harriet Baker of Elkhart County for two hundred dollars the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section thirty-four in Olive Township.
George Holdeman was a soldier in the Civil War. He was drafted, and entered November 14, 1862 at Indianapolis. He was a private and a member of Company K. 57th Regiment of the Indiana Infantry. At the battle of Stone River December 21, 1862 he was wounded in the shoulder; it is said he would have been killed had it not been for a pair of new boots which he had in a knapsack over his shoulder.
George Holdeman had been the first of the Holdemans to settle in Elkhart County, and to clear land; he first cleared ten acres on the west side of section thirty-four, at what came to be called Coonville. Later he built a log house almost in the center of the section; it stood northesast of where the barn now is on the farm occupied by Warren Holdeman. This log house faced the east with a porch along the east side of it. He had also started to build a barn, but sold the farm before this was completeted.
Anna (Eicher) Holdeman died March 2, 1863, aged 44 years, 4 months, 10 days. George Holdeman was married the second time December 17, 1868 to Charlotte Bixler, and shortly afterward sold his farm to Joseph Holdeman. He purchased the shares from the children of his second wife of a farm north of the Baugo Church, northwest of Wakarusa.
In addition to teaching and farming he practiced verterinary quite extensively, and became more a veterinarian than a farmer.
George and Ann (Eicher) Holdeman were members of the Mennonite Church. Before the Holdeman Meeting House was built, services were held regularly once every four weeks at their home one and one-half miles west and one-half mile south of Wakarusa. he sometime accommodated Mennonite ministers and other visitors to Elkhart County by providing transportation for them. For instance in 1868 Christian D. Berry of Burr Oak, Michigan visited Mennonites around Wakarusa; when he returned home George Holdeman and Danniel Brenneman accompaneid him as far as LaGrange, Indiana.
