h/o Melinda Violet Myers
Birth: 4th of five known children in Norwood, Saint Lawrence county, New York
Following from: "The Ancestors of Edna Frances Cady" (1991) by Robert Cady Gates.
"Thomas Nelson Hesselgrave was born on 13 June 1847 and grew to manhood on
his parents' farm in Potsdam Township, St. Lawrence County, New York. His family called him "Tuck".
"During the early years of their marriage, Thomas and Melinda lived with his parents and helped his father operate the farm. This responsibility was left to him, as his brother William was killed in the Civil War, and Robert had moved west in the early 1850's. When his father died in 1881, Thomas inherited the family farm [parents buried in Universalist cemetery, Madrid, New York]. Although this was primarily a dairy farm, Thomas also raised exceptionally fine sheep and small breed swine. His animals were regularly awarded prizes at the county fairs held each year in Canton, the county seat. In 1880, the Canton "Commercial Advertiser" (23 September 1880) reported that the sheep he exhibited at the fair were awarded six first prizes and three seconds, and in addition, he received three first awards for his small breed swine. He collected a total of $33.00 in award money, a substantial sum of money at that time. He continued to show his animals at the county fairs through 1883, after which time he was no longer listed as an exhibitor.
"In 1885, after seventeen years of marriage and with their eldest daughter nearing high school age, the family purchased a house on the southerly side of Spring Street in the nearby village of Norwood (population about 1,400 at the time). The deed, dated 8 July 1885, shows a cost of $810 for the property. About that time or perhaps earlier, T.N. Hesselgrave went into partnership with Mr. Valley and opened a retail store dealing in lumber and wooden products. This was located opposite the park in Norwood, south of Mechanic Street. At the same time, Mr. Hesselgrave continued to manage the farm property. After moving to Norwood, T.N. Hesselgrave served as assessor for several years, receiving some $70 annually as compensation from the township.
"The records show that, in 1886, he sued his doctor, Truman A. Pease, and a lengthy period of litigation ensued. When Mr. Hesselgrave first moved into Norwood, he agreed to rent a house, owned by the family doctor, for one year and, in lieu of rent, to compensate the doctor by providing board for him and for his son. After a few months, the doctor decided to board elsewhere and to charge Hesselgrave rent. In addition, there was a dispute over charges for medical services. A jury trial, held during the week of 23 December 1886, resulted in an award of $6.00 for Dr. Pease. However, Mr. Hesselgrave immediately appealed for a new trial, and his request was granted. In the second trial, held during September 1887, the jury brought in a verdict of $33.47 in favor of Hesselgrave. Both trials were reviewed in great detail in the Norwood and Canton newspapers.
"On 2 November 1889, the Hesselgraves sold the largest part of their farm property, consisting of some 190 acres and appurtenances, to John McGinnis for $4,800. The following spring, Thomas, Melinda, and their three children moved west to Atlantic, Cass County, Iowa where Melinda's father, Benjamin C. Myers; her brother, Charles; and her sister Florence were living at the time. In May 1892, T.N. Hesselgrave was appointed executor in the will of his father-in-law, B.C. Myers, who died in September of the same year, leaving a major portion of his estate to his daughter Melinda. On 12 December 1892, Hesselgrave sold the last 37 acres of his St. Lawrence County farm property for $1,000, and on 9 January 1893, he sold his property on Spring Street in Norwood for $900. (In both deeds he is "of
Atlantic, Iowa.") In April 1893, he took a position with the Green Bay Lumber Company of Atlantic, and in May of the same year, Melinda and their three children joined the Congregational Church in Atlantic."
