Homer Hewlet Hemenway was born November 18, 1831, at West Potsdam, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., of parentage descend- ed from English stock, which, however, had for several genera- tions, through some one hundred to one hundred and fifty years, resided in this country. Here he lived until 1851, working on the paternal acres and enjoying the advantages of a common school education, topped out with a few terms at the St. Lawrence University. What peculiar course of reasoning ever induced the forefathers of so clear-seeing a business man as Mr. Hemenway to go into so uninviting a region as the rough and thickly timbered country of northern New York, lying between the Adirondack mountains and Lake Ontario, we have never learned; probably, however, the same spirit of adventure that af- terward led him to seek his home, while yet comparatively a boy, still farther west.
In his twentieth year, or, to be more exact, in May, 1850, he migrated to Freeport, Illinois, where, as has been customary from time immemorial with boys migrating from the east, he taught school, for, however, only one year, graduating from plying the birch into the insurance business, which he also followed for a single year, and then traveled (or, in more modern parlance, "drummed") for four years as agent of a manufacturing house, during which time he was doubtless prospecting for a new home, and finally, in the year 1856, settled down in Lansing, Allamakec county; thus, in Iowa, imitating the paternal example set him in

New York, by taking the upper part of the most northerly county in the state. Here he engaged fin the manufacture of farming implements, which business he conducted with energy and success for twelve years (adding to it as an employment for his idle moments, and to keep him out of mischief, a popular and paying insurance agency), selling out in 1868, to enter into the manufacture and sale of lumber, in which he has since been en- gaged with the same earnestness, industry, and success that has marked his whole career. He also served the people of Lans- ing as their postmaster for eight years, from 1861 to 1869; and also had something to do with collecting United States reyenue.
In 1857, one year after settling in Lansing, he was married to Miss Sarah?A. Gray, of Burlington, Iowa, a lady of rare ex- cellence of character, and one who in every difficulty has proven herself a wise · counselor, as well as a true and unfailing friend. The result of their union has been seven children, four boys and three girls, of whom are now living two sons and three daugh- ters.
Mr. Hemenway justly prides himself upon his masonic career, which commenced in Excelsior Lodge No. 97, at Freeport, Illin- ois, having been initiated into Masonry, January 3d, 1853. He is now a member of the Blue Lodge and Chapter at Lansing; Si- loam Commandery No. 3, of Dubuque; and the Consistory at Ly- ons. He also served as Grand High Priest of Iowa from June 1, 1866, to October 16th, 1868. During the first year, while serving in this capacity, he re-established one and granted a dispensation to nine new Chapters. During the second year he founded seven new Chapters, besides doing much other valuable work.
In personal appearance Mr. Hemenway is of somewhat more than average height, of stalwart proportions and fair complexion. While he may be hardly termed an orator, yet he compels atten- tion and wins assent to;liis propositions by clearness and succinct- ness of reasoning. He is a man with great force of character, genial manners, and a rare capacity for making steadfast friends.
