   Horace Hetfield, farmer, Rob Roy, son of Solomon Hetfield, was born in Tioga
county, New York, September 6, 1826. His mother's name before marriage was Mary
McConnell. In the spring of 1828 his parents emigrated to Shawnee township and
settled on and improved the farm on which Allen W. Helms is living. About 1854
they removed to Van Buren township, where they spent the remainder at their
lives. His mother died while in New York on a visit. His father died May 7,
1877, and his stepmother about six months earlier. Mr. Hetfield has always lived
in this township. On April 26, 1849, he married Martha A. Cornell, daughter of
Daniel and Mary (Tracy) Cornell. She was born December 8, 1831. Their children
have been three in number: Henrietta, born March 25, 1850, died December 16,
1869; Aurilla, January 10, 1854, died August 14, 1870; and Eva, March 29, 1861.
Mrs. Hetfield is a communicant in the United Brethren church. Mr. Hetfield has
been a Mason ten years, and has his membership in Richland Lodge, No. 205. He
