HOUSE, H. K., born in New Jersey, bought the Henry Hand farm in 1860. The frame house stood across the road from the present brick one, which Mr. House built.
He must have gone to Kent, Ohio, and later to Norwalk, Ohio, where he died Sept. 2, 1899, at the age of 70. He served as Mayor of Norwalk.
He had either five, or six, wives. The first one was a sister of the wife of Henry Whitney, Margaret, by name, and they had a daughter, Lorana, who married Francis Howe. [One account gives the name of the first wife as Eva Mina Huston, which may be an error.]
The second wife was Mary, only child of Charles Gunn, of Camden, who died Oct. 24, 1866, at the age of 21, leaving a daughter who is the wife of Ed Shedd, of Detroit. [The first wife died March 7, 1860, at the age of 27.]
The third wife was Sally M. Shook, of Henrietta, and who died in Kent, Ohio.
The fourth was Emily Arnold, daughter of George Arnold, and widow of William Arnold. The other wives he married in Norwalk.
