Read More	Son of Horace (1792-1823) and Rachel (Stone) Landon (1793-1836) His mother, who had recently joined Theron at Millcreek in his log cabin in the wilderness was not well and passed away the following April, 1836. Theron was at this time only 22 years of age and this was the third death that had virtually affected his career. His mother was the first white woman to die in the township and no preparations had been made for such an emergency. Neighbors were few and widely scattered. There was no undertaker to care for the body or provide a coffin, and there was no lumber from which one could be made. To meet the emergency, Theron went to the village of Stryker, a distance of 15 miles, to secure a coffin but there was none available there and the only lumber that could be had was obtained by dismantling a wagon box. With this crude coffin, he returned to his home and with the assistance of neighbors buried his mother on a plot of ground set aside on his homestead. It is related that before leaving his home for the trip to Stryker, he piled heaps of brush around the clearing that were to be lighted at night to scare off the wolves that infested the forest.
