Hendrick, Austin, who was born in the town of Wolcott in November, 1852, a son of Levi and Catherine (Tones)
Hendrick. Levi was born in Wolcott in 1824, and they had four children besides our subject: Mary N., wife of I.
Van Arsdale of Owasco; William, of Auburn; Frank, of Rose; Catharine, wife of I. Silliman, of Fairhaven, Cayuga
county. John Hendrick was the grandfather's name. Subject began life by working for farmers and finally purchased
the farm of ninety acres, where he now lives. For some years he gave his attention chiefly to horses and sheep.
In 1876 he married Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel C. and Caroline (Leroy) Keeslar. She was born in Huron, and they
had these children, Charlie and Leroy. Mr. Hendrick and wife are members of the Wolcott Grange P. of A., No. 348,
and in politics subject is a Republican. Mrs. Hendrick's father, Daniel C. Keeslar and his two brothers, were members
of the famous 9th N. Y. Heavy Artillery. Daniel first enlisted and served three years, and participated in nearly
all of the battles of this county. He reenlisted and was killed in the battle before Petersburg. His brother, Simeon,
died from a wound received in the same battle; and Alfred died in the hospital from typhoid fever. In honor of
these three brave men the Col. Dutton G. A. R. Post No. 55, at Wolcott was named the Keeslar Post. Their father,
Adam Keeslar, presented this post with an appropriate flag, and died in 1889.
