Mrs. McCORMICK united with the Episcopal church when a girl and remained a devoted member of that organization throughout her life.

In Vermont there were Woodward's in Deweysburg, Vermont which is now West Danville, Vermont and just northward of Peacham, Vermont. These Woodward's came from Smithfield, Rhode Island in abt. 1780-1782. one of these Woodward brothers Apollos Woodward married a Rachel Reynolds in Danville, Vermont and had whom I believe were two sons Royal on May 22nd, 1803 and Parker Preston Woodward in 1804. Apollos their father after fighting in the War of 1812 abandoned his family by Rachel and headed westwardly ending up in Michigan. His wife Rachel in her endeavors could not raise her children alone so she endentured most of them out to citizens of the community to help bring in money for her family. Three ran away ending up in Sheffield, Quebec. and the other two were taken into the home of their Uncle Darius Woodward. Parker was claimed to be Darius's son in 1824 only because he was of age and ready to marry. Darius Woodward, his Uncle didn't want to carry "his son" Parkers debts so legally he gave Parker 'his time' and therefore Parker could legally carry his own debts and also marry. Of which he did. To Sarah P. Sawyer. They in 1840 were living with his brother (or next to him) in Walden, Vermont. In 1850 Parker and Sarah left Vermont and ended up in Fitch Bay, Quebec wehre they got some land from Mr. Winn in May of 1850. Royal Woodward and Mary Sawyer-Woodward stay on the Walden Farm until Oct 1879 and they then left for Phillipsburg, Kansas with their son Alonzo John Woodward and his family; etc. Parker Preston Woodward and his wife were parents of Darius, Flora Ella & Ellen (twins), Benjamin Sawyer Woodward etc. Darius and Flora Ella were both said to be of Indian descend and there is some material that would indicate that this was so. Hopefully there someone out there that are descendants of Parker, Royal, Flora Darius or anyone else of this lineage in Vermont and/or Quebec that can share some further information/foundation to this Native ancestry in the Woodward family; etc.

COMPENDIUM OF BIOGRAPHY Of Henry County, Indiana B.F. Bowen 1920 Page 331 and 332 and 333
Surnames in this biography are: Hughes, Burritt, Moore, Collins,
HENRY J. HUGHES.
In years but recently gone the flow of natural gas in Indiana was a prolific source of income to many individuals, who generally united their interests in companies or corporations, but the flow of late years has considerably abated, while the supply of coal oil or petroleum has not so perceptibly been diminished, as new wells for the production of the latter are, not infrequently opened by experts. Among these is the gentleman whose name heads this biography. Henry J. Hughes, contractor at Middletown, Henry County, Indiana, for sinking gas and oil wells, was born in county Tyrone. Ireland, May 20, 1845. Edward Hughes, father of Henry J had come to America about the year 1849 and located in New York City. About a year later Mrs. Hughes came over with her two children, Henry J. and Mary Ann, but on arriving in New York, via Canada, was confronted with the sad intelligence that the father had been called to his home in another sphere. A few weeks later the sorrowing widow was called upon to join her husband, and Henry J., then but five years old, and his younger sister found themselves dependent upon the care of strangers in a strange land. The children, however, soon found homes, Henry J. living with one family until twelve years old, when he began to work on a farm and was so employed for five years. He had but limited opportunities for securing an education, however, and quit his studies when but seven years old, his teacher having been too tyrannical, while the family with which he lived was not urgent as to his attendance, preferring to have his services at home, and for five years the young lad faithfully did his duty in this respect. Henry then went to work outside the home at times in lumber camps-and when twenty-one years old went to Michigan, where he worked one year in a sawmill and at dock labor in Detroit. About 1867 or 1868 Mr. Hughes went to the oil region of Pennsylvania where he became initiated into the mysteries of his present calling. After reaching the oil district, however. Mr. Hughes began work at chopping wood, receiving for his labor one dollar and twenty-five cents to two dollars per cord, and at this and other classes of labor laid by nine hundred dollars. This sum he invested in an oil well and in six weeks lost it all and incurred besides a debt of one hundred dollars. But this spirit was invincible and he began working by the day at drilling wells, handled sixty-nine of them consecutively, and this has since been his occupation. He next began in Pennsylvania to take an interest in wells in compensation for his labor and of these he sank seven before he struck oil. To reach this result it required about seven years' labor. In the meantime Mr. Hughes bad exhausted all his earnings and again began working by the day on contingent success but did not again find oil until 1879, but this was an "off" year for oil, as it brought but forty cents per barrel in the market. Mr. Hughes constructed tanks, in which the oil was stored, but there was no improvement in price and about nine months afterwards the stored-up oil was sold at a loss. Mr. Hughes was not altogether discouraged, however, but went to the oil fields in New York state, then returned to Pennsylvania, worked in the fields of Warren County, and then in 1886 went to Lima, Ohio, where fields were just being opened, worked by the day at drilling for a year and then had charge of a drilling gang for another year. He next secured a kit of tools for himself, came to Indiana and here he next worked for a time at Lafayette about 1888. He next worked for a time at Sidney, Ohio, then returned to Indiana and drilled the first well at or near Chesterfield on the site of the Spiritualists' camp ground. The well producing gas and artesian water. In July 1888, Mr. Hughes came to Middletown and worked by the day for Arthur Burritt, the contractor, in sinking a well on the site of the old sawmill, this being the second well sunk in the city. Mr. Hughes next drilled at Mechanicsburg, then contracted for three wells north of Chesterfield, and the same spring drilled another. He then returned to Lima, and in July 1889, began contracting and working for the Richmond Gas Company with his own tools. This arrangement lasted three seasons, after which time Mr. Hughes worked on contracts at different points until his coming to Middletown to sink wells for the tin-plate company. While thus engaged he invested fourteen hundred dollars in lots in the Tin-Plate addition to Middletown and erected four houses. He has in addition made many other contracts in Henry County and some in Madison county, keeping employed four regular workmen and several teamsters. Mr. Hughes for many years kept a diary or record of all the details connected with the wells, which he has drilled and is well satisfied with the complete and lasting manner in which his work has been done. He has been particularly exempt from accidents. No person has ever been crippled while in his employ, but he has several times been the victim of conflagrations that have destroyed his derricks and large tanks, principally caused by lightning setting fire to gas: a derrick costs about five hundred dollars. Mr. Hughes has frequently found himself in embarrassed circumstances, but with indomitable pluck has always worked himself out of difficulties. At one time he ran about nineteen hundred dollars in debt, with nothing to show for it. He was sinking wells and supply companies refused to extend him credit and he was obliged on one occasion to pay twenty dollars for the use of two hundred dollars for two weeks and on another occasion paid seventeen dollars for the use of a similar sum for the same length of time, but he pulled through. In Pennsylvania he went to rack and ruin over a dry hole, owed fifteen hundred dollars and lost everything but his tools, but had no money with which to remove these. He was to receive six hundred and fifty dollars as soon as he had a well cased; he borrowed two hundred dollars, for which he paid twenty dollars, kept up appearances and soon afterward received his six hundred and fifty dollars, which put him on his feet again. Mr. Hughes continued his struggle bravely and now is possessed of a competency, is interested in the Home Gas Company and is the principal stockholder in the Home Gas and Oil Company, also owning stock in each of the various factories in Middletown, and all this is the result of his indomitable courage and unceasing personal exertion. Mr. Hughes was united in marriage at Greenfield, Indiana, on Christmas Eve, 1899, to Mrs. Emma Moore, of New Castle. This lady bore the maiden name of Collins, her father, Joseph Collins, having been a pioneer of Henry County and now residing in Kennard at the age of ninety-three years. To the marriage of Mr. And Mrs. Hughes no children have been born, but Mrs. Hughes has two children by her first husband, viz: a daughter, who is a member of the Hughes household, and a son. W. H. Moore of Middletown. Mrs. Hughes is a Wesleyan Methodist in her church association and is a strong advocate of temperance, aiding the Prohibition Party in every conceivable way. Mr. Hughes is a Democrat and is ever active in his work for the party in all its campaigns. As a self-made man too much credit cannot be bestowed upon Mr. Hughes, and his example is one, which may be studied with profit by the rising generation and by all others who have yet to realize fortunes for themselves.

Kate Shean Won't Identify Nan Mackey as One Who Shot at Her.
The Mackey-Shean shooting case was postponed again in police court this morning. Attorney Cooper, who is looking after Nan Mackey's end of the case, was detained in common pleas court.
From what the court officials learned this morning, there is little hope of making a case against Nan Mackey, the complainant, Kate Shean, now refusing to identify her as the person who did the shooting. This is the ending of cases of this kind, especially when they come from the tenderloin district. The complainant usually displays a vindictive spirit in the heat of anger, but when cooler judgment prevails will evade every possibility of making a case. The officers did not see the actual shooting, and it is hardly possible that a case can be made on their testimony.

NORTH TOLEDO A BAD TEMPER Which Caused Serious Results

Master Howard Smith will have an unenviable reputation if he cuts any more such antics as that which occurred on Tuesday afternoon. In a fit of anger against Tom Sheldon he chased him with a shovel and when near enough let the shovel strike Tom against the arm, inflicting a deep and painful gash. Some means ought to be taken to curb such a temper.
