H. C. HIATT
Another Pioneer Has Answered (His) Call to Eternal Home After a Long Busy Life
The community southwest of town where H.C. Hiatt spent so many year of his life, in his death has lost not only one of its oldest settlers, but also a good neighbor and friend and one who was content tolive his life quietly, willingly doing the little everyday things that count for the betterment of the communty and endears the doer to the hearts of his friends. Mr. Hiatt caem to Kansas forty four years ago, and has lived continuously on the homestead southwest of town sharing alike the pioneer joys and struggles with his neighbors. Here his children were reared and received the training their good parents gave them by the example of upright, honest living. Mr. Hiatt always stood for refinement and his clean straight forward life attested his beliefs for the conduct of life. His little kindnesses and neighborly acts would make a bright chapter in any life and now that he has lain down the burdens of this life the children and friendds have the best legacy that anyone can leave, the memory of a devoted father and a neighbor willing to assist in times of need.
Previous to Mr. Hiatt coming to Kansas he was engaged in contracting for staves. He had traveled quite extensively, especially in the east part of the United States, and as he grew older and dwelled more in the past his reminiscences of his early life were indeed interseting.
H. C. Hiatt was born in Indianpolis, Indiana, in 1844, and died at his home southwest of Fredonia four and one half miles, Saturday evening, April 22, age 72 years, 1 month and 10 days, following an attack of the measles.
In the year 1872 he came to Kansas, settling on the farm southwest of Fredonia which has since been his home.
In 1874 he returned to Ladoga, Indiana, and claimed Margaret Sharp of that place as his bride. The young couple returned to Wilson County and took up the struggle of making themselves a home in the state of Kansas. Two years later at the birthof a son, Elmer, the wife and mother died. A year later Julia Pinkston became the wife of Mr. Hiatt and eight children were born to their union, five of whom survive him. Three sons died in infancy. The children living are Elmer HIATT, of Fredonia, Mrs. Mary Huber, who lives west of Fredonia, Mrs. Emma Lacey, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mrs. Sophia Crow, of Strong City and Will T. HIATT, who is at the home with the mother.
Funeral services were conducted yesterday morning at the home by Rev. Phil Lambert and interment was made in the Fredonia Cemetery.

Found in HH book, found in Harmon Hiatt records, page 13, 1895.
Henry Hiatt married a lady (2nd Wife Abby Mead) from New York State,
who was an advocate of woman suffrage, a very good talker and very intelligent. He was a perfectly non-resistant man in his belief and practice. Once he and some men threshing wheat; he bore heavily down on one neighbor in a jest, and the man struck him in anger, but he did not resent him and when told that he ought to prosecute his neighbor he said; "No, I was in fault, I would not injure him for anything." He never allowed himself to get angry. He settled on a farm about 9 miles from Lawrence, Kansas, and when the border ruffian troubles were on hand, he had some trouble with ruffians of a very serious nature. I cannot relate his difficulty, but he maintained his dignity and has the farm now and has kept the Post Office at the cross roads for about 50 years.

Henry Hiatt was born 30 Dec 1815, in Warren Co., Ohio and moved with his
parents Silas and Anna (Clary) Hiatt to near Milton, Wayne Co., Ind when he was five years old. He married Francis Elizabeth Smith, daughter of Isaiah and Abigail (Jessup) Smith 17 Nov 1841 in Orange Co., NY. Their five oldest
children were born in Ind. They moved to Kansas in Apr. 1856, bringing all their possessions except their live stock by boat from Cincinnati, Ohio down the Ohio River, then up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to Westport, now Kansas City. They had a house built in Cincinnati, then knocked it down into sections, and shipped it to Kansas. It was re-assembled at Bloomington, Douglas Co., Kansas, about ten miles southwest of Lawrence, near Clinton, where he and two other men started a saw mill.
In 1857, he sold his interest to his partners and settled about seven miles to the southwest at Twin Mound, where he built a two story house. Before the house was finished, he planted many trees and shrubs.
In 1858, he built a large stone grist mill for grinding corn meal and other course grain. It was believed to be the second wind-powered mill in the state, the first was in Lawrence. He also had a General Store and Post Office in the building, where he handled groceries, dry goods and hardware.
He was a Licensed Lawyer for two years, 1869 and 1870, the license to
practice cost $10.00, and the examination to practice was not so exacting as
now.
He platted a townsite between his home and the mill and tried to establish a college for all people, red, white and black, men and women.
Their home was on the stage line between Lawrence and Emporia, and it bore a sign "Hiatt House" as it was a regular stop for a change of horses and for meals and rest for the passengers.
He opposed slavery, and for a few years his home was a station for
"Underground Railroad". The escaped were brought to him by Capt. W.B. Kennedy, who lived five miles south of Lawrence. He then took them to a home in Highland Park. If there was chance of being searched by pro-slavery parties, he took the slaves to the home of Edwin Smith, a mile west.
In 1880 the Mill, Store and Post Office were destroyed by fire. The only
thigs salvaged from the mill were the two millstones of Vermont granite. They now mark his grave at Twin Mound Cemetary.
His first wife died in 1858, and in 1862 he married Abigail Ann Mead. She was born 26 Feb 1836 (dau of Alonson and Mary Ann (Smith) Mead), in New York City. Her mother died when she was six weeks old, and her father died when she was five years old. She was raised by her grandparents, Abigail and Isaiah Smith, in Goshen, Orange Co., NY
In 1852 at the age of 16 she want via Erie Canal and Lake Ontario by boat, then by train to Ind. to live with her Aunt and Uncle. The trip took six days. She came to Kansas to live with her grandmother in 1861 and married Henry Hiatt in 1862. She died 20 April 1928 in Lawrence.
Their children were Homer (married Rosetha Berger)_ born 1862. Orel born
1865, Theron Born 1868 married Mary Alice Fraser, Effie born 1871 married
