Excerpt from History of Hardin County, Iowa: "H. H. Hendryx was born in Linn county, Iowa, on the 8th day of August, 1847. He is the son of Caleb Hendryx, a native of Ohio, and Mary Hemphill, of the same State, who were the parents of nine children -- five sons and four daughters. In the fall of 1835 his father left his home in Ohio and came west to Muscatine county, Iowa, where he remained a short time; when with a sack of corn meal on his shoulders he started out for Linn county, Iowa. Crossing Cedar river, he erected a log cabin on the site of the present city of Cedar Rapids, being the second building erected in the town. Here he remained through the winter, subsisting on the corn meal and wild honey he found in the timber. Here he made a claim where the beautiful city of Cedar Rapids now stands, which he afterwards traded for a balky mare and an old set of harness, the whole value not being more than $25. He then returned to his home in Ohio on a visit, where he remained a short time, and again came to Linn county and located in Grant township, where he erected the first cabin in that township. The Hemphill's came to Linn county in 1844, and located in Otter Creek township. Caleb Hendryx and Mary Hemphill were married in 1845. In 1846 Mr. Hendryx traded for a farm in Otter Creek township, where he remained until his death, which occurred in February, 1876. Mr. Hendryx [sic, Mrs.?] is living on the old homestead, which has never changed hands since the patent was issued. H. H. Hendryx, the subject of this memoir, was married in 1871 to Miss Elizabeth Arnett, a daughter of Andrew Arnett, of Ohio. She was born in Cedar county, Iowa, February 15, 1846. Two children blessed this union -- Martin B. and Ethel M. Mr. Hendryx is a member of Industry Lodge I.O.O.F.; also of the A.O.U.W. In politics he is a Republican, and is at present Mayor of the town."
