HEMIUP

History of Ontario Co, NY and Its People, Pub 1911, Vol II, pg. 477 - 478

John HEMIUP, the first of the line here under consideration of whom we have information, came to this country with General LA FAYETTE. He was granted 1,280 acres of land for his services during the Revolution, but it soon passed out of his hands as he had no taste or inclination for agricultural pursuits. He married Charlotte VON DOLEN, of Holland, and among his children was a son Alexander, see forward.

( II ) Alexander, son of John HEMIUP, was born in 1799, and died in 1888. He was a resident of Penn Yan, New York. He married Mary MILLS, and among their three children was a son, George M., see forward.

( III ) George M., son of Alexander HEMIUP, was born November 22, 1822, in Penn Yan, New York. He was reared and educated there, and at the age of 18 removed to Geneva, New York, and entered the employ of his uncle, Anthony HEMIUP, who conducted the most extensive mercantile business in that city. He remained in the employ of his uncle until the death of the latter, and then assumed charge of the business, continuing in the grocery and crockery business until his retirement from active pursuits in the year 1886. Mr. HEMIUP devoted considerable time to the reading of good literature, was devoted to his home and family, and was averse to taking part in public affairs. He was a consistent member of the Universalist church, contributing of his time and means to its building up. He married, November 12, 1851, Maria REMINGTON, eldest daughter of Rev. Seth W. REMINGTON, pastor of the Universalist church, and his wife, Maria (PICKERING) REMINGTON, and a direct descendant on the maternal side of Timothy PICKERING, of Revolutionary fame, and of Caleb CUSHING.

Mr. HEMIUP died suddenly from heart failure, July 14, 1886, leaving a widow and one daughter, afore mentioned.

Maria (REMINGTON) HEMIUP, widow of George M. HEMIUP, was born in Boston, Erie county, New York, March 18, 1832. Descended from a long line of scholars and statesmen, it is not strange that she should have inherited an inquiring mind. Her whole life has been spent in study and research. Her husband always encouraged her in all her undertakings, and in 1871 she drew the plans for her large home on Genesee street. Contractors refused to build the house unless the plans were submitted to an architect for revision and correction. This Mr. and Mrs. HEMIUP refused to do, but at last the house was built in 1873, the builders one and all refusing to take any responsibility in the matter, but when the house was completed it was found that the plans had been correct in every particular. Mrs. HEMIUP still resides in the house she planned and built so many years ago; her daughter and son-in-law reside with her. On May 5, 1866, Mrs. HEMIUP published her first scientific article in the columns of the Rochester Express. This article attracted wide attention, as in it she claimed that ice formation was not a deviation from natural law as had always been supposed. In 1886, after devoting twenty years to study of the subject, she published her first book "Law of Heat." This volume was in support of her theory and advanced her "Moulten river" theory. This work was widely read and Mrs. HEMIUP has in her possession scores of letters from the most noted scientists of Europe and America in reference to her work. At the age of 76, Mrs. HEMIUP published "Our World," and now (1911), at the advanced age of 79 years, she still hopes to complete another large work. Mr. and Mrs. HEMIUP were ardent believers in the woman suffrage movement, and the political articles of Mrs. HEMIUP in the Geneva papers carried much weight for many years. Mrs. HEMIUP was aunt of the late Frederic REMINGTON. She died after a week's illness, September 11, 1911. The funeral services were conducted by a woman minister, Miss Clara MORGAN.

HERRINGTON

History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 305 - 306

HERRINGTON, Earl P., Canandaigua, was born in Hoosick, Rensselaer county, December 4, 1833, and is a direct descendant of Elder HERRINGTON, one of the Pilgrim fathers who was sent into Rhode Island, and where the grandfather of our subject, Philip, was born about 1760. He had 9 children, of whom Elijah, father of Earl P., was the fourth son. There is still one of these children living, Philip HERRINGTON of Hoosick. Elijah was born in Hoosick, November 3, 1801, and married in 1827 Mary PIRCE of Rensselaer county. In 1841 he came to Ontario county, and May 11 of that year he bought a farm of 80 acres in Canandaigua, where the family has ever since lived. He had six children, four of whom survive: Philip, of Michigan; William H. of Rochester; Sarah, wife of Walter S. DAVIS, and Earl P. From the time Earl was 8 years old his life has been spent in this town. He was educated at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, and learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed until the death of his father, May 12, 1879, when he returned to the old homestead and conducted the farm. Mr. HERRINGTON has always taken an active interest in church work, and he and his family are members of the Baptist church of Canandaigua. He married, February 26, 1867, Elizabeth, daughter of Philip NEFF of Monroe county, and they have one son, Leander Earl, born December 3, 1881.

HEWSON

History of Ontario Co., NY, Pub 1911, Vol. 2, pg. 22-23

George W. HEWSON, owner of a fine farm in Hall, Ontario county, New York, a large portion of which is devoted to the growing of fruit, is a fine example of what may be accomplished by energy, perseverance and a fixed determination to reach the top of the ladder. He has inherited the traits of industry, thrift and faithfulness in the discharge of duties, so characteristic of the English nation, from which he is descended and where his family was from an old and honored one.

George HEWSON, father of George W., was born in England in 1810 and died in this country in 1887. He was 30 years of age when he came to this country, and had but five dollars in his pocket when he arrived here. He immediately sought employment, which he found on a farm, and was identified with farming interests throughout his life in this country. He located at Gorham, Ontario county and in 1845 purchased the farm which became the family homestead. He married Eliza, born in England in 1822, died in America in 1881, a daughter of John GELDER with whom she came to this country when she was a mere child. She was a most devote Presbyterian all her life.

George W., son of George and Eliza (GELDER) HEWSON, was born on the old homestead in the town of Seneca, NY on October 2, 1866. He was educated in the district schools and Geneva High school, from which he was graduated, and this education he has amply supplemented by keen observation and careful and well selected reading, making him a man of liberal views on all subjects of importance. At the death of his father the farm passed into his possession and he lives upon it with one of his unmarried sisters, Jennie, who supervises the domestic labors of the home. The farm comprises one hundred and seventy acres of well cultivated land, a large part of it being devoted to the raising of fruit, in which Mr. HEWSON has attained very satisfactory success. The home is a refined one and exemplary in every respect. The farm and all the buildings necessary for its proper cultivation are kept in the finest condition and in many respects it is a model for its size and kind, in the section. Mr. HEWSON takes a active interest in all matters connected with the proper adjustment of the public affairs of the township, but gives his allegiance to no particular party, preferring to cast his vote for the man he thinks best fitted to perform the duties of the particular office in question. In his religious affiliations he is independent. Besides the sister who is living with him, he as two sisters, one married, both living in Minnesota. Mr. HEWSON is unmarried.

HICKOX

History of Ontario Co., NY, Pub. 1878, pg. 125

Our brief records permit little else than genealogy, with the chronology of descent, and incidental notice of the life of George HICKOX, his predecessors and his immediate descendants. Stephen HICKOX, great- grandfather of Mr. HICKOX, came from England, married Lydia SPELMEN, settled in the middle parish of Granville, Hampshire county, Massachusetts, and lived and died there.

Levi, son of Stephen, was born in Granville, April 27, 1751. Sibyl MOORE, who became his wife, was a native of Middletown, Connecticut and moved to Canandaigua, New York in 1791. Her death occurred December 29, 1801. His death took place January 7, 1811, in his 60th year.

George HICOX Sr., was born in Granville, January 25, 1772; and Eunice, his wife, August 14, 1777. Both parties came west to Canandaigua, the former on January 31, 1793. They were married January 26, 1797. Eunice HICKOX died May 27, 1845. Mr. HICKOX moved upon different farms, made improvements, and sold the betterments. He had a family of 9 children, four sons and five daughters, born and dead or living as follows: Orpha, 1798, died in Michigan; Eunice, 1800, died in Wisconsin; George, December 29, 1802; Zophar H., 1810, died in Wayne county; Luman, 1805, met death by accident; Michael S., now widowed; Mrs. Elias DURAND; Luman C., 1812, died in the town; Roxana, 1815, resident of Wisconsin; Candice L., 1819, widowed and living in Wisconsin.

George HICKOX, the especial subject of our notice, was born upon the farm now owned by Lorenzo H. TILLOTSON. He early manifested an interest in farming, and a fondness for the vocation of a shepherd. When any one indulges his taste, he makes a choice likely to result in advantage, and it is natural to find that the youth, who loved to care for the lambs should have become a heavy stock-raiser. As an index of the extent to which he conducted his operations, it maybe be stated that at one time his flock of sheep numbered between four and five hundred choice merinos; his drove of cattle, some thirty fine Durhams; while from his meadow farm, at Cheshire, were taken one hundred and thirty tons of pressed hay. The first purchase of farm lands numbered fifty acres, and by purchase had increased to 456. Sale was made of the Cheshire farm, and the present homestead numbers 202 acres.

He was married on February 25, 1828, to Mary A. MALLORY, born at Milford, Connecticut, September 20, 1808, and the marital relation has been of mutual concord and affection. Possessed of those qualities which make the name of mother loved and revered, Mrs. HICKOX enjoys, in the decline of life, the fruition of her unwearied efforts to teach, by precept and example, the lessons of truth, honor, industry, and religion.

Four children have been given them, three sons and a daughter. George S. dates existence from March 30, 1829; James S., August 10, 1830; Henry B., January 19, 1833; and Mary D., May 26, 1837. The three sons are all married, and settled upon farms in the immediate vicinity of the homestead. As the father; so the son; and the example of ample and well-built barns and sheds, of improved machinery, and both intelligent and energetic tillage, seen when under the paternal roof, has been given to a purpose. George lives on the farm adjoining the homestead; James on the second farm, known as the "Cooley Farm"; and Henry, one mile south in distance of dwellings, but with lands but a few rods apart. While it may true that practical education is valuable, theoretical knowledge is by no means to be understated. The learning of the schools lays a basis for an after superstructure in life, and such a foundation was early bestowed by Mr. HICKOX upon his children. The boys reaped the advantages offered by the curriculum of the Canandaigua Academy, and the only daughter studied to a purpose when an inmate of the seminary. She has long been a teacher, has had charge of different seminaries as preceptress, and from natural aptitude, education, and taste may be regarded as a capable and popular professional educator.

A further consideration of the life of George HICKOX reveals a man of medium stature, plain appearance, few, meaning words, and undemonstrative action. The condition of his farm, the taste and elegance of his residence, the lives of his children, are points of observation, which inform the eye and give an index of character. A believer in rotation of crops, his land has lost nothing of its fertility; having pride in the best and knowing it the cheapest, his stock have taken many premiums. To make society of value, he has contributed both money and labor, and whether engaged in quiet diligence in the cultivation of his field and the care of his stock, or among those whose united efforts has perpetuated and enhanced the utility of the annual fairs of Ontario, his name may be mentioned as one of the prominent and leading agriculturalists of the county. Knowing but little of the lessons taught in schools, he is yet well informed, through the powerful educative influence of the public press. Publishers find in him a patron, and the table is covered with the literature of the day. Reverent to his Creator, he is not unmindful of his obligations, and joining the Methodist Episcopal Church at Cokes' chapel, in 1833, he remained its steward a quarter-century. His charities are not ostentatious, his gifts are not blazoned but they are none the less extensive and effective. An original Whig, he is at present Democrat, but not a partisan; and, as illustrative of his principles, no drunken candidate for popular suffrage could have his vote. While the name of George HICKOX may not be heard beyond his own county, his life is not the less noble, his example less laudable.

(pg 117, left paragraph, bottom)

Among the early settlers of this locality, none stand out in the light of history more conspicuously than Captain George HICKOX. He came to the town of Canandaigua on January 31, 1793. His first location was on lot No. 27, where Lorenzo TILLOTSON lives. In 1797, Mr. HICKOX married Eunice HOLCOMB, who had come on from Massachusetts and opened a school in the log school-house which stood on No. 79. Miss HOLCOMB was one of the pioneer teachers, having begun in 1793, and taught continuously until the time of her marriage. One term was taught at the school-house near where Albert SMITH now owns; the rest, at No. 79. When Captain HICKOX came in, his only possessions were a yoke of oxen and an axe. His father took the oxen and a squaw stole his axe, and all that was left to him were a strong arm and a courageous mind not easily daunted. In 1793, Mr. HICKOX helped Judge Stephen BATES to fell the timber for the court house erected in 1794. The trees stood on Fort Hill and Gibson street. He was the first man to plow on that street for the initial crop there produced. He was captain of militia, and in December 1813, during the burning of Buffalo, received an order at midnight to have his company in readiness to march, and at sunrise next morning had them on the public square in Canandaigua. Orders to march were countermanded, and the company was disbanded. He engaged, for a time, in transporting goods by ox-teams from Albany, at a period when there were twenty-three taverns on the route. His death occurred May 27, 1845. His father, Levi HICKOX, came to the village in the later part of 1790, and located where Alexander MC KECHNIE lives. Judge PHELPS having been taken sick, was attended by Mr. HICKOX, who was recompensed by a deed for three hundred acres of land, including lot No. 91, on the Bristol road, where Wells GOODWIN now owns. Here he came, and among his acts was the planting of an orchard, which is still in existence to attest his providence. George HICKOX Jr., son of Captian HICKOX, and grandson of Levi, resides in the town. During a harvest season, among the hands was Brigham YOUNG, the Morman prophet, who was raking and binding wheat at a dollar per day when he quit work for Mr. HICKOX. It was, in all probability, the last honest day's labor he accomplished. In 1803, Daniel CASE bought out Captain HICKOX, and moved unto the place.

HICKOX, George S., Canandaigua, oldest son of Capt. George HICKOX, was born near Cheshire, March 30, 1829. His boyhood was spent on his father's farm, and was educated in the common schools, Canandaigua Academy, East Bloomfield Academy and Wesleyan Seminary at Lima. He taught district schools a number of winters and attended school during the summer terms. He made his home on his father's farm until 1864, when he married and settled on the farm where his brother, James S., now resides. He lived here for 7 years and then sold to his brother, buying the WALKER farm, where he has ever since resided. In 1884 he built his beautiful residence. Mr. HICKOX has always taken an active interest in politics, and was elected on the minority ticket for commissioner of highways from 1872 to 1881. He is greatly interested in the breeding of American Merino sheep, a business he has been engaged in ever since he began farming. He is chairman of the Executive Board of the American Merino Sheep Breeders' Association of New York State, of which he is a life member. In 1887-1888 was vice-president of the Western New York Agricultural Society. In 1891 he was elected president of the Ontario County Agricultural Society and re-elected in 1892 to the same position. He is also a member of the Congregational church of Canandaigua.

George, the oldest son, has always made his home in Canandaigua. He takes an active interest in church work, assisting with the Methodist church in 1833, and for over 25 years was a steward of the church. He was a Whig, but has for a great many years been a Democrat. He married, February 25, 1828, Mary Adah MALLORY, of Huguenot descent who was born at Milford, Conn., September 20, 1808. She died February 14, 1892, mourned by the whole community. She was a granddaughter of a Revolutionary soldier who fought at Ticonderoga, Crown Point, and other memorable battles. Mr. HICKOX has had three sons and a daughter: George S., Henry, Bradford, James S. and Mary D. The daughter last named has been prominent as a teacher for about 15 years, having been educated for a teacher at Macedon Academy and Ontario Female Seminary. She has been preceptress of Walworth and Mexico Academies and of Ontario Female Seminary, an institution that was succeeded by Granger Place School in 1874.

Henry was educated in the common schools, Canandaigua Academy and at Macedon Academy. After leaving school he assisted his father on the farm and taught school until 25 years of age. He leased a farm one year and in 1859, in partnership with his brother, James S., bought his present farm of 142 acres. Later he bought out the interest of his brother and has since conducted it alone as a grain and stock farm, having made many improvements in the place. Mr. HICKOX is a Democrat. He married in 1858, Letitia, daughter of John ADAMS of Canandaigua. She died August 8, 1889, and he took for his second wife Alice C., daughter of T. B. REMINGTON, of Canandaigua.

Commencing at the age of 18 he was for ten winters a teacher in the district schools of Canandaigua. On reaching his majority he was given an interest in his father's farm, and continued to live with him until 1859, when he in partnership with his brother, H. Bradford, bought the farm where H. B. still lives. This partnership existed until 1871, when he bought the farm of 125 acres where he now resides. In 1885 he erected one of the finest residences in western Canandaigua.

HICKS, M. D., W. Scott, Bristol, is a native of Bristol, born September 18, 1827, and a son of Aaron, a son of Jabez, a son of Aaron, who was a native of Rehoboth, Mass., and who came to Bristol about 1800. Jabez HICKS was a native of Dighton, Mass., and there married Nancy FRANCIS, born July 8, 1767. They came to New York in 1796, and settled at Bristol.

HICKS, Edwin - Among the pioneers of the town of Bristol, Ontario county, was Aaron HICKS, a native of Massachusetts, whence he emigrated to the "Western Country" in 1795. He followed farming all his life, performing his modest part in laying the foundations of what has become a numerous and prosperous community. He was born in the town of Dighton, Bristol county, Mass., on December 12, 1788. His ancestors were of English extraction and among the earliest emigrants who settled Massachusetts colony. He died April 9, 1872. On the 1st day of June 1812, he was married to Hannah CORNELL, who was born on the 17th of January, 1795. She was a lineal descendant of Thomas CORNELL, who was one of the earliest settlers of Massachusetts and resided in Boston as early as 1638. She died April 2, 1874. Of this marriage were born 10 children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the ninth.

Edwin HICKS was born on the homestead in the town of Bristol, Ontario county, NY, February 14, 1830, and there his early years were passed in alternate attendance at the district school and labor on his father's farm. He was a persistent student and was given such advantages as were possible under the circumstances to obtain a good English education. Between the year of his leaving school and 1850 he taught school several years in different parts of his native country, an occupation which gave him further opportunity for study. In 1850 he took the first step towards the consummation of his early-formed plans for adopting the legal profession as his life-work by entering the law office of Seward, Blatchford & Morgan, of Auburn, NY, where he remained one year, finishing his legal study with Benjamin F. HARWOOD, in Dansville, NY. He was admitted to the bar in March, 1854, and on the 1st of January following began practice in Canandaigua. For nearly 40 years Mr. HICKS has now (1893) been a prominent member of the bar of his county, his practice being at all times extensive and including cases of importance. He has, moreover, received from his fellow citizens many evidences of their confidence in his ability and respect for his character.

The Republican party was on the eve of its organization when Mr. HICKS entered upon the practice of his profession in Canandaigua. He was in full sympathy with its principles, and has never wavered in his loyalty thereto. He has given unstintedly of his services for the interest of his party and his voice has been heard in public in nearly every campaign since the party was organized. Mr. HICKS was made vice-president of the first republican club organized in Canandaigua, which was among the earliest in the county. That he early took a prominent position in his profession is shown by his appointment in 1857 as district attorney to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Thomas O. PERKINS. In 1863 he was elected to that office and held it four consecutive terms, winning his elections over popular candidates of the opposing party and by majorities reaching in one instance 1,600. As district attorney Mr. HICKS prosecuted the criminal business of the county with vigor, efficiency and integrity. It is remembered that in one term he tried fourteen cases, twelve of which were for felony, and secured conviction in every case. Among them were several of more than ordinary importance, notably that of the people against MUNSON for burglary in East Bloomfield, in which the accused was sent to State prison. He prosecuted the case of the people against EIGHMEY, indicted for murder, the prisoner being convicted and hung---the first case of capital punishment in Ontario county. In March 1876, he was engaged for the prosecution in the somewhat celebrated trial of George E. CROZIER for the murder of his wife at Benton, in Yates county, in which the prisoner was convicted. In his civil law business Mr. HICKS has been entrusted with many cases where important interests were at stake, and has met with a gratifying degree of success.

In his political career he has been repeatedly chosen to represent his party in important State and other conventions and deservedly honored by his fellow citizens with public office. In 1874 he was nominated for the office of State senator for the 26th District, then composed of the counties of Ontario, Seneca and Yates, which for four years had been represented by a Democrat, but was defeated by Stephen H. HAMMOND, of Geneva, by a majority of 318. Again nominated for the same office in 1877, he defeated his former opponent by a majority of 381. In the Senate he was placed on the judiciary committee, was chairman of the committee on literature, a member of the committee on public expenditures and the committee on salt.

HILL

Vigorous and active at the time of life when the majority of men are compelled by physical disabilities to surrender the cares and responsibilities of their respective callings to their successors of a younger generation, Reynolds HILL, chief engineer of the pumping station at Geneva, is still attending to his daily duties with a regularity and watchfulness which few veterans of the Civil war can equal.

Mr. HILL comes from an old Yates county family, his grandfather, Reynolds HILL, for whom he was named, having been an early settler in Reading, that county, and his father, Seth HILL, was an old time lumberman, a republican and a Universalist, liberal- minded, upright and optimistic. His span of life lapped over into the present century, and full of years he entered into his final rest in 1902. He married Maria RICH, born in 1826, died in 1900. Children: 1. Reynolds, see forward. 2. Ruth Ann, who died aged two years. 3. Jeanette, born May 3, 1845, married Chester GILES, and has one child, who died at the age of twenty years. 4. Maud, born in 1860.

Reynolds HILL, eldest child of Seth and Maria (Rich) HILL, was born in Reading, Schuyler county, New York, May 7, 1841. He attended the public schools at Reading but his educational opportunities were limited, as at the early age of 12 years he began to assume the responsibility of his own support by accepting employment at Beaver Dam, New York, and he later worked for his father in Millport, this state. When 15 years old he went to work at Havana, and afterward devoted two years to assisting his father in running a boat on the canal. In July, 1862, he enlisted at Elmira in the 141st Regiment, New York Volunteers, for service in the Civil war, which was ordered to Maryland in the following September and went into winter quarters on Miner�s Hill. He served under Generals GEARY and THOMAS; was transferred to the 131st New York Volunteers in 1863 with the rank of color-sergeant, and mustered out as such at Elmira, June 9, 1865. After leaving the army he found employment on the lake steamers �John Arnot,� P.H. Fields� and �A. W. Langdon,� plying Seneca Lake, and having acquired competency as an engineer he was advanced to the position of chief engineer of the steamer �Elmira.� Removing to Bay City, Michigan, he served as chief engineer of several steamers hailing from that port, and he subsequently was employed in the same capacity on large steamers running between Detroit and Buffalo and Chicago. Among the latter were the steamers �Ramapole,� �Oswego� and Seneca.� In 1903 he resigned his position on the �Seneca� in order to enter the service of the Geneva (New York) water department as chief engineer at the pumping station, and he still retains that responsible post. In politics he is independent. He was made a Mason in the blue lodge at Detroit some 20 years ago, and is now a member of the chapter and commandery at Geneva.

HOFMANN

History of Ontario Co, NY and Its People, Pub 1911, Vol II, pg. 255

For the opening of Hofman and Grant avenues, the establishment of an up-to-date sewer system and important public improvements, the people of Geneva are indebted to Frank C. HOFMANN, an enterprising and progressive German-American citizen, whose faithful performance of the various duties he has been called upon to fulfill under both town and city governments, has proved of inestimable value to the city of his adoption.

Mr. HOFMANN doubtless inherited his marked business ability and sterling integrity from his Teutonic ancestors, who were of the industrial class, to which the German Empire of to-day owes its strength and stability. His grandfather, Peter HOFMANN, was born in Germany in 1776, died in 1864; his grandfather, Katherine ( GRIM ) HOFMANN, was born in Baden, Germany, in 1776, died in 1872. His father, Hubert C. HOFMANN, born in Germany, 1820, died in 1860, owned and operated two tanneries. Hubert C. HOFMANN married Catherine HOFMANN, born in 1822, came to America in 1890, and died in 1894.

Frank Christian HOFMANN, son of Hubert C. and Catherine HOFMANN, was born in Amerbach, Germany, December 10, 1849. He was reared and educated in the "Fatherland," and at the age of thirteen began an apprenticeship of four years at the butcher's trade. Arriving in this country in 1869 he located first in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and later in Buffalo, New York, and some three years later removed to Rochester, this state. About 1875 he went to Geneva, where he found employment as a butcher with W.I. HIGGINS, and finding himself at the expiration of two years in a position to engage in business for himself, he entered the meat and provision trade in partnership with Gustavus C. WILKENS. After a prosperous existence of seven years the firm of Hofmann & Wilkens was dissolved by mutual consent, and Mr. HOFMANN continued in business alone, opening a meat market and provision store at Nos. 49 and 51 Seneca street, and carrying it on successfully for twelve years, at the expiration of which time he retired permanently from that trade. For a number of years Mr. HOFMANN has devoted his attention to the real estate business, and also to several profitable commercial enterprises. In 1895 he opened Hofmann avenue, and in 1900 opened Grant avenue, both of which are exceedingly desirable residential sections, and in addition to developing property for building purposes he has erected some substantial buildings for residential and business use. These include a large brick block on Avenue B., Torrey Park, divided into flats and stores (built in 1898), and the Masonic Temple, and an attractive brick and stone office building located on Seneca street in the heart of the business district. The foundation of this building was begun June 2, 1898, and it was completed and occupied by September 1, of the same year, thus establishing a record for rapidity of construction hitherto unequalled in Western New York. A strange fact might be recorded that it never rained during the day time during the construction of this building. Besides his real estate enterprises he is proprietor of the Torrey Park Drug Store, president of the Allen Drug Company, of Geneva, and also of the City Hall Pharmacy, of Auburn, New York. In politics Mr. HOFMANN is a republican. In 1894 he was elected a trustee of the village from the second ward, and was re-elected a trustee of the village from the second ward, and was re-elected in 1896; was chosen police commissioner in 1896 for a term of six years, and was therefore the last to hold that office under the old town government. He was elected an assessor in 1898 and again in 1900, and was chairman of the committee on electric lights. During the administration of President HERENDEEN he secured the enactment by the village government of a bill providing for the purchase by the municipality of the Geneva Water Works, hitherto a private corporation, and was also responsible for the establishment of an entirely new sewer system, a sanitary improvement, the value of which cannot be too highly estimated.

In 1910 he was a delegate to the republican state convention at Saratoga and assisted in the selection of candidates to be nominated by that body. He has served as president of the Geneva Board of Trade a number of terms, and is treasurer of the Economic Relief Association. He is called the father of the city charter, and he worked faithfully to bring about the charter that made Geneva a city. In the Masonic Order he has attained the thirty-second degree, being a member of the local blue lodge, chapter and commandery; has held all the important offices of these bodies including that of eminent commander, and is numbered among the Ancient and Accepted Nobles of the Order of the Mystic Shrine in Rochester. He also affiliates with the Improved Order of Red Men, and the German Harugari.

In 1880 Mr. HOFMANN was married in Geneva to Margaret Catherine KLOPFER, born in Williamsburg, New York, June 3, 1855, daughter of John Michael and Anna Barbara ( KERNDTER ) KLOPFER. Children: 1. Frank, born in 1882, died in infancy. 2. Anna G., born in 1884, married Frank DAY in 1908; one child, Margaret. 3. Charles, born in 1886, died in 1901. 4.

When he was called to judge or act, his opinions and resolutions were taken up and held with a strong grasp, so as to be made most efficient. He was distinguished in the eyes of all who knew him for high minded integrity. By this is meant not merely that he was an honest man in pecuniary dealings, but that he was at the furthest remove from all fraud, double dealing, or hypocrisy. His integrity was not only incorruptible, but unimpeachable. Judge HOWELL's religious character was entirely in harmony with the prominent traits before mentioned. He did not confound religion with any superficial observances, nor with mere mortality. His views of Christian truth were evangelical and clear. He married on March 17, 1798, Sally, daughter of Gen. Israel CHAPIN, who had been appointed superintendent of Indian affairs by General WASHINGTON. She died in 1808, leaving two children, Juliana and Alexander Hamilton HOWELL. Judge HOWELL'S second wife was Fanny ,daughter of Seth COLEMAN. She died February 9, 1842, leaving several children. The last 19 years of Judge HOWELL's life were spent in the retirement of home. During this time, as before, he had met with severe bereavements, but recognized in them the divine discipline. He retained to the last the powers of his mind. In his domestic habits, and religious duties, he continued to present a picture of healthful serene old age, such as is seldom witnessed. On the 15th of October 1852, Judge Nathaniel W. HOWELL'S life of more that 81 years, peacefully ended."

HOWELL, Alexander Hamilton, the second child and eldest son of Nathaniel Woodhull and Sally Chapin HOWELL, was born in Canandaigua on the 30th day of September, 1805. He died at his home in that village on May 8, 1893, falling but a few months short of completing his 88 years---years begun when Canandaigua streets were but blazed paths and trails, and closed in the full development of modern civilization. At an age when later day parents hesitate sending their too young children even to the kindergarten, his father sent him, but 8 years old, to the then noted Banselles school in New York city, where he remained many homesick months, and later to a school in Schenectady. At the former he became a proficient French scholar, and at the latter laid the foundations in Latin and Greek, fitting himself for college. In 1822 he entered Hamilton College, where he remained until his Junior year was nearly completed, when he withdrew and entered Union, graduating thence in 1826. Returning at once to his native town, he commenced the study of the law in his father's office (Howell & Greig) and was admitted to practice in the year 1829, entering into partnership with Mark H. SIBLEY. On the 15th of July, 1830, he was married to Emily, daughter of Amasa and Mary Phelps JACKSON, who was a loving, helpful consort to him, and who, with their only child and daughter, made him a home which was a home indeed. Mrs. HOWELL died 25th December, 1887; the daughter still survives. Shortly after his marriage he was induced by specious promises to relinquish the practice of the law and remove to New York city, engaging in mercantile business, which proved better in promise than in reality. His bent of mind, early and later education, were all toward the law or kindred work, and in 1842 he returned to Canandaigua and associated himself with Emory B. POTTLE, once more at work in his chosen field. In 1843 he was elected county clerk of Ontario county, holding the office most acceptably to all for two terms. His latest and longest work was the management of some local estates, and in which he was engaged until he gave up all work and rested. In the spring of 1872 he went abroad, and after a brief trip to France, spent several months in Scotland, returning home in the fall, having visited in a peculiarly pleasant manner many people of rank and seen all places of note and interest, his letters home being published, to the instruction and entertainment of his family and friends. While possessing attributes of manhood complete and perfect, there were two points of character in Mr. HOWELL which stood out with unmistakable prominence. The one was a stern, unshrinking and incorruptible integrity; the other, supreme gentleness---the first his father's gift, the last his mother's.

As the sun got low in his life and its slanting rays touched only the whitened head, it found him waiting in gentleness, patience and cheerfulness, and reaping the reward his own home tenderness had earned. And so into the life of Canandaigua he came, and so he lived and died, winning love and respect by every act of his life, and when he died we laid them on his memory. " Integer vitae scelerisque purus."

HOWELL

History of Ontario Co, NY, Conover & Aldrich, pub 1893, pg 467 - 469

HOWELL, Thomas Morris, - The ancestors of the subject of this sketch were English, lived in Buckinghamshire, and sent their first representative to America while members of the first Pilgrim band still lived in Massachusetts. Edward HOWELL came to this country in 1639 and settled on Long Island, where that branch of the family lived until late in the eighteenth century, when Hezekiah H., grandfather of Thomas M., removed to Blooming Grove, NY. His name is found as sheriff of Orange county in 1785, indicating that he was a man of some prominence. Among his children was a son, Nathaniel W., who settled in Canandaigua in 1796 and became one of the foremost and honored citizens of the town and county. He was elected to the Assembly in 1804 for Genesee and Ontario counties, serving one term. He was sent to the Thirteenth Congress from the 21st District, 1813-14. He was a member of the commission appointed by the Supreme Court under a law passed April 15, 1817, to appraise the property of the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company, preparatory to building the Erie Canal. Elected county judge of the Common Pleas, he assumed the office March 13, 1819, and continued in the position nearly 15 years. His death occurred in Canandaigua, October 15, 1851.

Thomas Morris HOWELL, son of Nathaniel W., was born in Canandaigua, December 7, 1811. After a preparatory course in the academy here, he entered Amherst College in 1828 and graduated from that institution three years later. He at once took up the study of law in the office of Willson & Lester, and in 1834 was admitted to the bar. He began practice at first with his father, but after making a prospecting tour through the Western States and determining on Canandaigua as his future home, he formed a partnership with Walter HUBBELL, then one of the distinguished lawyers of Western New York. Through the prestige of his older partner, and his own native ability, Mr. HOWELL soon found himself a sharer in a very large practice. This was particularly true as to criminal business, for the successful prosecution of which Mr. HOWELL was eminently qualified and for which he had a decided taste. He soon gained a reputation, which extended beyond his own county for his skill and success in this branch of his profession. This was one factor that led to his appointment as district attorney, which responsible office he assumed in May 1840, and held until 1847, discharging its duties with vigor, fearlessness and ability. Under the provisions of the new constitution he was succeeded in 1847 by Barzillai SLOSSON, who was the opposing candidate for election. Mr. HOWELL was a Democrat in politics and lived in a district which, was largely Whig and later Republican, but the estimation in which he was held by his constituents is clearly shown by his frequent nominations for high office. In 1854 he received the nomination for member of Congress in the 26th District; in 1853 was nominated for the high office of judge of the Supreme Court for the 7th District; in 1855 was the Democratic nominee for first judge of the county, and again in 1859. On all of these occasions he was unable, even with his strong popularity, to overcome the opposing majority, though he often reduced it materially. In the political field Mr. HOWELL performed effective work for his party. He was an impressive speaker, and his commanding personal appearance added to the effective persuasiveness of his language upon any topic. He was repeatedly sent as a delegate to town and county conventions, and in 1856 was a delegate to the National Convention, which nominated James BUCHANAN for the presidency. After Mr. BUCHANAN's election, Mr. HOWELL's name was urgently pressed as candidate for the high office of United States district attorney, but the position was given to one who adhered to what was known as the "soft" Democracy. In 1849 Mr. HOWELL was made United States commissioner for the Northern District of New York, and held the office until his death.

In 1871, with the creation of the office of police justice in Canandaigua, the place was tendered to Mr. HOWELL, and during the succeeding four years he discharged its duties to the eminent satisfaction of the community and the terror of evil doers of every stripe. Mr. HOWELL honored his ancestry in his patriotism, and at the outbreak of the Civil War he came forward as a "War Democrat," and his allegiance to his country's cause during the great struggle never wavered."

For the prosperity and advancement of his native village Mr. HOWELL was ever ready to devote his best efforts. His public spirit in this respect was alert, active and self-sacrificing, and many local improvements may be partially or wholly credited to him. He laid out Howell street through his lands, built the Atwater block, and otherwise contributed to the prosperity of the place. He was called to deliver the oration at the laying of the corner stone of the present court-house. He was an able and fluent writer, contributing freely to the local press, particularly upon early and Indian history, upon which he was a recognized authority.

Mr. HOWELL regularly attended the Congregational Church, and was formerly a teacher and superintendent of its Sunday-school. Socially his was an attractive personality and his friends were almost innumerable. He was married, May 16, 1838, to Louisa YOUNG, daughter of Hon. Samuel YOUNG, of Saratoga, NY. She died November 7, 1881. Their eldest daughter married John R. HAZARD, and died August 20, 1891. Their second daughter married B. B. FOSTER, of Brooklyn. Mr. HOWELL died October 27, 1892.

He was educated in Geneva Medical College, and his early life was devoted to teaching in the public schools. He practiced medicine in Yates county until the Civil war broke out, when he enlisted in the 126th N. Y. Vols., and he was assistant surgeon of the 39th Regiment. At the close of the war Dr. HOYT returned to Yates county, where he resumed the practice of his profession, which he continued until 1868. In 1867 he represented his county in the State Legislature. This was his second term, and he served a term in 1852. In 1868 Dr. HOYT was appointed secretary of the State Board of Charities, a position he has ever since held, his office being at Albany.

History of Ontario Co, NY & Its People, Pub. 1911, Vol. II, pg. 62 � 63

Practically all of the HUNTS in America, are of English descent, and a family of this name coming from Ireland is rarely to be met with. Those about to be mentioned, however, are the exception, and are numbered among the great mass of their countrymen who, while preserving their identity to a greater or less extent, have become one of the important component parts of the American people.

Among the sturdy Irishmen who were compelled by famine and oppression to emigrate to the United States prior to 1850, was William HUNT, a native of Queens county. Instead of remaining for any great length of time in a large center of people he wisely sought a home in the agricultural districts and settling in Geneseo, Livingston county, NY, he found ample opportunity for the exercise of his industry and thrift. He married Johanna CONROY, also a native of Ireland. Children: John F., a resident of Rochester, NY; Thomas R., who also is residing in that city; Charles J.; Mary, married Patrick LANDERS; Johanna, died November 4, 1898; and William J., whose sketch follows.

In 1894 he was appointed supervisor of the Craig Colony for Epileptics at Sonyea, Livingston Co., NY, after passing the competitive civil service examination and he continued to serve in that capacity with marked ability until 1901, when he resigned. From the latter year to the present time, he has been actively engaged in the life insurance business in Geneva, NY, representing some of the most prominent companies and securing a large number of policy holders in that locality. As a businessman and public official, Mr. HUNT has won an enviable reputation for his honesty and efficiency and is highly esteemed by his fellow citizens. He is secretary of the general board of education, was appointed a member of the purchasing committee under the administration of Mayor ROSE and reappointed by Mayor O�MALLEY, and has earnestly endeavored to protect and forward the interests of the municipality.
