. 1895 Oct 5 - Aurora. 6 weeks ago last Sunday morning while out in pasture one of Edward MdMahon's horses was kicked on one of its hind legs by another horse, breaking the bones just below the hock joint. Mr McMahon thought the horse, which is valuable one, would be of no use & would have to be shot, however, he sent for Veterinary Vanzant of this place, who took care of the animal, the broken bones were set, splints put on & properly bandaged the leg is almost as sound as ever, in fact it is difficult to tell which was broken. Mr. McMahon commentated working the horse on Monday & as might be expected speaks very highly of the skill of Veterinary Vanzant.

13561 Henry L King is the son of George W King, born Jefferson Co. NY & Susan Williams also of NY.

. Henry L. King came to Michigan in the fall of 1843 when he was 3 years old with his parents & sister Eunice. He had but very limited educational privileges, for he was busy from an early age. When but a boy he hauled staves to St. Joseph, where they were used in the manufacture of barrels.

Henry L. King remained at home until 21 years of age, after which he returned to Ohio. Following the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted at New London, Ohio, in the 87th Ohio Infantry on June 4, 1862 for 3 months' service. He was captured at Harper's Ferry but was immediately exchanged & returned to Ohio. There he re-enlisted in 1863 as a member of Company G, 12th Ohio Infantry under Captain Graves, at which time he joined his regiment. His brother George enlisted at the same time. In the spring of 1864 he was sent to join the command of General Steele at Little Rock, Arkansas, & was discharged with his regiment on February 15, 1866.

When the war was over Henry L. King returned to his home & was married the following year, 1866, to Miss Esther Lawrence, a cousin of John Lawrence & a daughter of Richard & Elizabeth (Simonds) Lawrence, who had come from Canada before the war. Her father died while serving in the United States army & her mother, who long survived, passed away at the very advanced age of ninety years. She had lived with her daughter, Mrs. King.

When the Civil war was over HLK returned to his home in Ohio & was marred the following year 1866, to Miss Esther Lawrence.
In was in the spring of 1866 that Mr. King began to clean his tract of land of 40 A, given to him by his father. He also worked up the timber & this gave to him a living while he cleared the land.

Mr. King's study of the political issues & questions of the day has led him to give unfaltering support to the Republican party since age conferred upon him the right of franchise & yet he has never sought or desired office for himself, preferring to concentrate his time & energies upon his business affairs. Formerly he was identified with George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., at Benton Harbor & he manifest the same loyalty in citizenship in times of peace that he displayed when in times of war he followed the old flag upon the battlefields of the south.

KING, Henry Lawrence .1 (I1756)
 
13562 Henry McCutcheon, True Pioneer, Womb to Grave:

Henry Smith McCutcheon was a true pioneer from womb to grave; he had quite a life's journey in his 73 years. Following the tradition for the McCutcheon penchant for nicknames, Henry Smith was called Horace during his lifetime. After being born in Montreal, Quebec in 1824, the Robert McCutcheon & Agnes Beck family didn't stay long in Quebec. The family was then living just outside Montreal at Megantic. When he was only a month or so old, the family boarded covered wagons, probably pulled by oxen & headed into the wild untamed woods of Ontario, travelling over rough terrain, arriving at Erin Township before the snow fell. This 900 kilometer journey took several weeks. The family had to bake bread & cook their meals on open fires on the trail; with millions of insects as dinner guests.

It doesn't seem logical that the family would have headed west on bumpy, unstable trails in the spring of 1825 when Agnes was 7 months pregnant with their third son Robert. Robert's father, John & his older brother William, were already in Erin Township on their new homestead, & it is probable that the family stayed the 1824 winter with them. Then journeyed a few miles north to their new homestead in the spring of 1825.

Information from Alice Burke: Robert applied for his land in Adjala near Rosemont in 1825, Lot 30, Concession 1. This was the homestead where Henry's younger brother Robert was born.
In his father's will, the homestead in Adjala was left to his younger brother Hugh. Henry was left some money. After he married Sarah they farmed for a while on an adjacent farm. But the lure of black gold was beckoning. At the age of 23, their 3rd son, Robert, died in 1879 & was buried on Canadian soil. Soon after their son Robert died, Henry & his wife Sarah, along with their 4 younger children again boarded wagons or Red River carts pulled by oxen & left the farm in Nottawasaga, settling in Tomahawk, Wisconsin in 1885. This journey was a longer one; 1,250 kilometers.

They both died here & were buried in the Protestant Cemetery near Tomahawk. Henry was one of the founding pioneer settlers to farm in Tomahawk, Oneida County. Tomahawk was an uninhabited wilderness in 1885. The city of Tomahawk was not yet surveyed or laid out. It was surveyed in the spring of 1887 & lots were sold on the 25th June 1887. TheJohn Oelhafen Stor has a picture of the first buildings to be constructed in this small outpost town.The population of Tomahawk was 1816 in 1890. Henry & his family probably hitched their horses at the front of this store to shop & visit with their neighbours before returning home to their farm. Note the hitching posts still in place at this date.

Later, his sons owned & operated a saloon in Long Lake, Wisconsin, located about 80 miles east of Tomahawk. In the mid 1880 & later, this area boomed with logging, many saw mills opening up, creating employment. It was to this industry that Henry & Sarah's younger sons turned to for work for a while. In a list of registered voters for the area on the 12 March 1898: two of their sons, in Ward 1, David McCutcheon was registered & in Ward 4, Alex McCutcheon was registered to vote.
Henry & Sarah raised 10 children over a period of 21 years. Other than a 5 year span between child 2nd & 3rd child, they did not appear to lose any children which commonly happened then to childhood illnesses such as scarlet fever (as did his brother James), measles, whooping cough, small pox, etc.
Of Henry's ten children, 5 eventually settled & died in the USA, one applied for & received a land grant in Alberta, dying in Lacombe, whilst 3 others applied for land grants in Saskatchewan, near Bengough. The only one of this family left in Ontario was 23 year old son Robert lying in a cold grave. This family lived near Rosemont Lot 32, Con VIII Mono Twp., (Mulmur), then moved to Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe Co. & then to Wisconsin, U.S.A.

He was born & has lived all his life on the farm where he died, moving but once during that time, from an old house into a new one. He was always regarded as a kind & good neighbor. He was eminently a man of peace, never having been engaged in a law suit. He leaves a widow & 3 children, Mrs. William Barnes, of South Cayuga street, being the only daughter.

13585 Her obituary says she is buried at Maple Park Cemetery, Springfield, Greene Co., Missouri. Her grave stone at findagrave is at Pennington Point, Illinois. WOODS, Almeda Lianda (P962)
 
13586 her relationship to Richard Tunks is not obvious. Could she be the sister of Richard, b. 1786 in Shropshire? Since Thomas Hammond and the Tunks came from Shropshire, they could have married and come to Canada.
She does not seem to be at BSC. BSC has Thomas Hammond d. 9 Jul 1838 age 45(Hammond 3). The stone is next to Richard Tunks but there is a gap between them. Elizabeth Tunks was the wife of this Thomas Hammond and it is believed that she was the sister of Richard and is probably buried in this gap, unmarked or missing stone.

-the 1852 census transcription shows Elizabeth Harmon when the original clearly says Elizabeth Hammond, 66, widow, born England, living with son Job and his wife Mary on L40 C1, which was owned by her brother Richard Tunks
1861 census:
1871 census: Elizabeth Hammond, 84, widow; living in Brooke Twp, Lambton with daughter Mary McGregor and husband John;

She probably died sometime in the 1870s. A search for her grave in Lambton county revealed nothing.
