HYDE, John H.
===========================================================================
John H. Hyde, farmer, Brooks Township, secs. 12 and 13, was born in
Delaware Co., Ohio, Aug. 6, 1839, and is a son of Philander M. and Mary Ann
(Kilby) Hyde. The father was born in Hampton, N.Y., June 27, 1816, of
English ancestors. He is still living. The mother is of Irish lineage, and
was born Sept. 10, 1817, in Whitesbury, Oneida Co., N.Y.

Mr. Hyde’s parents settled in Barry Co., Mich., in 1851, where the father
purchased a farm of 40 acres, in Maple Grove Township, and, with the
exception of a single year, the son resided there until he was 23 years
old. He commenced his career as a farmer in that county, and in 1865 sold
his property and came to Newaygo County. He bought 120 acres of land, where
he has expended much time and labor, and brought 110 acres to an advanced
state of cultivation and increased the value and appearance of the place by
adding a good barn and home, and set out a judiciously selected assortment
of fruit-trees. In political connection he is a Democrat, and has been
elected to fill the various school offices.

Mr. Hyde was married in 1862, in Barry County, to Adaline, daughter of
William and Maria (Wright) Jarrard. She was born Feb. 27, 1842, in Richland
Co., Ohio. Her father was born in 1814, in Pennsylvania, and was of French
descent. He died in June, 1883, in Barry County. The mother was born in
1824, in Ohio, and resides in Barry County. Mr. and Mrs. Hyde have had four
children, two of whom are living. They were born in the following order:
Lemuel (dec.), Orville G., Leonard (dec.) and Marvin W.  The family are
members of the Congregational Church.
