MYRON HENDRICK, farmer, P. O. Linesville, was born in New
Hampshire, February 12, 1841, and is a son of Otis M. and Lucy (Alden)
Hendrick, who settled in Pine Township, this county, in 1852, locating on
the farm now owned by E. Seelye, Esq., which was one of the oldest
settled in the township, though, at the time they located on it, it was all
over-run with underbrush, which they had to clear off, and in the course of
time had to make all necessary improvements, such as fencing, putting
up new buildings, etc. They resided there until 1864, when they purchased
another farm in the neighborhood. Otis M. Hendrick died in 1873 at the age
of sixty-nine, on the farm now owned by C. R. Hendrick. He was a native of
Wilbraham, Mass. His wife is a native of Connecticut, and still survives him.
He had five children: Orlando B. (deceased), Myron, Otis N. (killed near
Richmond in the late war of the Rebellion), Lucy (now Mrs. Frank H. Potter),
and Carlos R. The subject of this sketch was married July 2, 1868, to Eliza,
daughter of Obed and Margaret (Gilliland) Garwood, of Conneaut Township,
this county, by whom he has three children: Harry H., Blanche and M. Park.
Mr. Hendrick has lived on the farm where he now resides since 1868; is one
of the thorough-going farmers of Pine Township; he has held nearly all the
offices in the gift of his township, and is now serving his second term as
Justice of the Peace. The last time he was elected, he received every vote
cast in the township, and had more votes than any other officer that was
voted for. In politics he was a Democrat, but now is a Prohibitionist.
