H. H. Remore has lived in Northwood, Worth Co., Iowa, since 1864. He is a native of Oneida Co., N. Y., born July 12, 1824. When quite young his parents settled in Jefferson Co., N. Y., where he grew to manhood. He was married in 1845 to Nancy Hull, by whom he had five children-Hattie E., Charles H., Martha J., Ida D. and Charles W. Hattie E. married Perry Perkins, with whom she lived about three years, and died in Northwood, March 22, 1868. Charles H. died in Jefferson Co., N. Y., Aug. 27, 1851. Martha J. is the wife of Orra Perkins, of Kensett. Charles W. married Leona Hitchcock. In 1855 Mr. Remore settled in Columbia Co., Wis., remaining there until 1857, when he removed and settled in Olmstead Co., Minn. Mr. and Mrs. Remore had no capital when they came to Minnesota. Here they endured the privations of pioneer life for several years, but finally by hard work and economy secured a farm, which he sold when he came to Worth Co., Iowa, in the spring of 1864, locating on what was known as the Enos Smith farm, in Northwood township. He lived there until the summer of 1870, when he removed to the city of Northwood, and built a residence where he now lives. He has 200 acres of land under good cultivation, valued at $40 per acre. In politics he is a democrat. He is a member of the Masonic lodge, of Northwood. His father is still living in Jefferson Co., N. Y., aged ninety years. He was a soldier in the War of 1812.
