Notes for Horace Dominy
From Newton book:
Horace was born in Canaan Township, Madison County, Ohio. In his boyhooddays, he moved with his parents, who had purchased the Elrick and Kidwellfarms of 220 acres' located in Washington Township, Franklin County,Ohio.
He completed his education in the common school, known as Sub-DistrictNo. 6 located on his father's farm. After his marriage to Calla May,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel and Mary Mock, they pioneered andhome-steaded in the State of Minnesota in 1882, only to remain there fora few years.
How well do I remember a story told by Father Mock, when they returned toOhio. He said, "The summers not bad, but short and sweet; But, OH!jiminey-crickets those winters. We had to build double doors and windowsto keep the snow and cold out. Our barn had to be large enough to put inall the stock, if not the wolves would eat them alive.
"One cold stormy night, it has been snowing and blowing for a week. Thesnow was drifted around the house, above the window sills. OH! OH! Thosehowling wolves, would give you the creeps! Running around and around thehouse, stopping and looking in the windows, skinning their teeth, just tomake you feel as if they would like to make you up into mince meat."
Their return back to Ohio, their native state, was only for a short stay.Then Father and Mother Mock migrated to Kansas in 1885., where he stakedtheir claim as Home-steaders for he and his son-in-law near Anthony,Harper County, Kansas, in the Sun Flower State.
There he remained until after the death of his wife's parents, about theyear 1905. lie disposed of their holdings, as his wife had taken theirdaughter (pearl) to Long Beach, California for her health as the hotwinds and dust were becoming a menace to southern Kansas. They had beenwarned of the break-up of this vast grazing prairie to their south-westand west - where once the "Buffalo" roamed at his will.
He then went to his wife and daughter at Long Beach, where he followedhis trade as a building carpenter until 1925. He had the misfortune inthe loss of one of his legs by a disease, which caused him to be aninvalid and use a wheel chair the remainder of his life.
