Emigrated to USA 13 Jun 1893 with wife and first four children
believing America to be the "land flowing with milk and honey." I was
originally told that he and his family arrived via the St. Lawrence
Seaway; however, that waterway was not constructed for many years
following when he actually arrived. Hence, the port-of-call remains a
mystery. His plan was to make his fortune and to return to England;
however, additional children were born and he and his wife became
established in the (then) booming town of Fostoria, OH. He later was
elected Mayor of Fostoria on the Republican ticket in the fall of 1929
and served one term - 1930 to 1932. He did not run a second time
because he "lost too many friends and did not wish to lose any more."
At the time of her death, she was noted as Fostoria's oldest living
resident at one month shy of 98 years old.
