Hendrix, who owns one of the valuable farms of Cedar township. He was born in Seventy-six township, this county, June 7, 1866, and is a son of William and Charlotte ( Willits ) Hendrix, the father being a native of Indiana and the mother of Illinois. They were married in Henry county, Iowa, and immediately thereafter took up their residence in Seventy-six township, Muscatine county, where Mr. Hendrix has acquired a well improved farm of three hundred acres, he and his wife now enjoying the fruits of many years of earnest labor. There were ten children in their family, namely : H. C., our subject ; N. T., who was graduated from the Iowa State University and is now a prosperous druggist of Columbus Junction, Iowa ; L. B., of Louisa county, Iowa ; Estella, now Mrs. Edgar Robertson, of St. Francis, Kansas ; Walter, a graduate of the engineering department of the Iowa State University and now pursuing his profession at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania ; Edwin, of Marshalltown, Iowa ; L. D., of Mount Pleasant, Iowa ; Novella, who died at the age of two years ; Wilmot, at home ; and Ledru, now attending the State University. H. C. Hendrix received his early education in the district schools and grew up under the friendly shelter of the parental roof, continuing at home until he was twenty-one years of age. He began upon his own account by working out by the month and after an experience of six years in this line rented land for five years, then purchasing a farm in Louisa county, which he successfully cultivated for a period of five years. Selling his farm, he bought the place he now owns in Cedar township, Muscatine county, which he has developed until it is one of the most highly improved farms in the neighborhood. He gives his undivided attention to his business and, as he is thoroughly informed as to improved methods and uses up-to-date machinery and appliances, he meets with marked success. He is a good judge of live stock and keeps no inferior grades. As the result of years of close application he is in well-to-do circumstances and ranks as one of the influential farmers and stock-raisers of the county. On the 25th of February, 1891, Mr. Hendrix was united in marriage to Miss NEVADA SYPHRIT, of Louisa county, Iowa, a daughter of JOSEPH SYPHRIT and HARRIETT McNATTON. Her father was a native of Pennsylvania and the mother of Ohio. They were married in Louisa county, Iowa, where the father engaged in farming and also for twenty-five years in teaching school. The mother departed this life in March, 1894. Mr. Syphrit still makes his home upon the farm with which he has been identified since his early manhood. There were eight children in the family of Mr. and Mrs. JOSEPH Syphrit, six of whom are now living : Joseph R., of Wapello, Iowa who is a graduate of the Eastern Iowa Normal School and taught school for fifteen years ; Emma, the wife of George Varner, of Wapello ; Nevada, now Mrs. Hendrix ; William O. and Mary E., twins, the latter of whom is the wife of Joseph Scull, of Wapello ; and Marcellus, of Letts, Iowa. Henry, one of the promising boys of the family, died at eighteen years of age. Mr. Hendrix has since arriving at voting age been identified with the republican party and has served as township trustee and for four years as member of the school board. He has worked his way to success by careful attention to his calling and by a sound judgment which is necessary in any well conducted business. At the age of forty-five years he is in possession of a beautiful farm, which he has acquired through his own exertions, and is assured of a competence for life. He and his estimable wife are identified with the Methodist church and may always be depended upon to assist in relieving the wants or in lightening the burdens of those less fortunate than themselves. --------------------------------------------- Hendrix, Henry C.
