• Notes

  Amos spent his boyhood and youth on his father's farm. On reaching his majority he purchased a tract of timber land and at once began the work of clearing and getting the land into a state of cultivation. At first he made his home in a log house, but long after erected frame buildings, and still later on built the brick house in which he lived up to the time of his death, which occurred in his eighty-sixth year.
