Reuben Tomes, a farmer residing on section 27, Danville Township, Des Moines Co., Iowa, was born in Lenawee County, Mich., Nov. 22, 1833, and is a son of James and Mary A. (Whiteneck) Tomes. James was a native of New Jersey, but grew to manhood in Seneca County, N. Y., where his marriage to Miss Whiteneck was celebrated. Soon after their marriage the young couple removed to Lenawee County, Mich., probably settling there about 1827, and making a location in the forest. James Tomes was a great lover of the chase, a sportsman whose rifle brought down great quantities of game, with which that new country abounded; in fact that was the inducement that led to their emigration. Exposure, however, brought on illness which terminated fatally, and James Tomes was buried when our subject was a lad of three years of age. He was the father of five children, of whom Reuben was the youngest; Ann died unmarried; David, Richard, Rachel and Reuben. After the death of the father the mother returned to New York, and the children were cared for by relatives of the family, thus becoming separated until all trace of them is lost. Rachel married Edwin Foster, carpenter, of Buffalo, N. Y., but they removed to Girard, Branch Co., Mich., where she died, leaving three children--William, Rose and Reuben. Mrs. Tomes was again married, her second husband being Henry Guelick, of Lodi, Seneca Co., N. Y. They became parents of one son, Henry, who was perhaps fifteen years of age when his mother died, and he went to Oregon with relatives, though all trace of him is now lost. Contributor: A.
