Tombaugh _____ Henry F Mow This representative of one of the early families of Fulton County was born in Richland township, this county, about one-half mile from Richland Center, on June 5, 1847. The father of Mr Mow was born in Ohio in 1827, and died in Fulton County, Ind, in 1869. He was a soldier of the late war and enlisted and served his country for a little over one year when, as first lieutenant, he was honorably discharged on account of contracted physical disability. The mother of Henry F Mow was Eleanor (Holdstock) Mow, a native of New York state, who was born in 1828 and died in Fulton County, Ind., in 1874. The Mow family came to Fulton County in 1839, and the Holdstock family settled here two years previous, so that both of these families were among the early settlers of this county, and fully experienced the trials and difficulties of life in the woods. The subject of this review was raised in Richland township, and at its schools received his early education. At twenty years of age he began farming for himself and for three years lived upon what was known as the Shryock farm, and after the death of his father he farmed the old Mow homestead, which he and his brother, E H Mow, purchased after the death of the mother. On this farm he continued until 1884, when he bought his present farm, now consisting of 115 acres, and located on the Michigan road, three miles north of Rochester. This farm is well improved and about ninety acres are under cultivation. Mr Mow was united in marriage Jan 1, 1866, to Miss Phila Davis, who died in June, 1879, leaving two children, viz.: Finley E and Aquilla Ray. March 15, 1881, Mr Mow, for his second wife, married Miss Hannah W Barnett, a native of Cass County, Ind, and a daughter of Henry and Nancy Barnett. The father of Mrs Mow died in Marshall County, Ind, in 1891, and her mother died in Fulton County in 1894. To the union of Mr and Mrs (Barnett) Mow are these children, viz.: Lillie M, Maude L, Robert D and Benjamin R. In political affairs Mr Mow has always taken an active part in the interests of the republican party, and has devoted much time to promote its success. For twenty-seven years he has been a member of the Rochester lodge, No 47, IOOF, and he and wife are members of the M E church and are among the prominent people of this county.
