This book has no cover, and no index, and no author. I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: HEMENWAY, McClelland, Monroe, Fairbanks, Alexander, Wilder, Gates, James, Mick, Stump, JAMES ALEXANDER HEMENWAY. For a quarter of a century Southern Indianans looked upon James Alexander Hemenway as the most gifted leader in politics and national statesmanship. They honored him repeatedly with votes while he was a candidate for the National House of Representatives, and eventually he won the great honor of being chosen a member of the United States Senate. Senator Hemenway was always loyal to his native town of Boonville, where he practiced law for nearly thirty years. He was born there March 8, 1860, son of William and Sarah (McClelland) Hemenway. His father was also born at Boonville, was a merchant there, and for a long time postmaster. Of the five children two are now living: William, a farmer at Folsomville, Indiana; and Lucy M., wife of Stump Monroe, a fruit grower at Upper Hill, Florida. James Alexander Hemenway grew up in Boonville, attended common schools and beyond these early advantages was dependent upon his own efforts and ambitions for his success. For several years he was employed in the local post office, making use of his spare time to study law, and in 1885 was admitted to the bar. He built up a large general practice at Boonville, and rapidly conducted himself with the important business interests of the community. He owned real estate, had several farms and city property in Boonville, and was a director in the City National Bank and a stockholder in the American Trust Company at Evansville. A year after he was admitted to the bar he was elected prosecuting attorney of the Second Judicial Circuit of Indiana, in 1886, and served until 1890. In 1890 he was a member of the Republican state committee and later was a member of the Republican National committee. In 1894 he was elected a member of the Fifty-fourth Congress from the First Indiana District, and that district gave him six consecutive elections as a member of the National House of Representatives. He was one of the ablest of Indiana’s delegation in Congress during the important years of the McKinley administrations. In 1904 he was reelected to the Fifty-ninth Congress, but did not take his seat, since he resigned to succeed Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks as United States senator. The Indiana Legislature to the United States Senate elected him on January 18, 1905, serving out the unexpired term until 1909. Senator Hemenway died February 11, 1923. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was affiliated with the Masonic fraternity, Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World. In many ways he used his influence and generous interests for the benefit of his home community. He donated the ground for the ball field at Boonville and it is known as the Hemenway Field. Senator Hemenway married at Boonville, July 1, 1885, Miss Lida Alexander, daughter of William and Nancy (Wilder) Alexander. Her father was a Warrick County farmer. Mrs. Hemenway survives her husband and resides at Boonville. There were three children: Lena Mae, born July 10, 1887; George R., born July 3, 1891, and Jamie E., born October 3, 1899. Lena Mae, who graduated in music at New York, first married Bennett Gates, a hotel man at Indianapolis, and she is now the wife of Warren James, a lawyer at Dayton, Ohio. By her first marriage she has three children: Cynthia Gates, born in 1911; James Gates, born in 1913, and Margaret Gates, born in 1917. By her marriage to Mr. James she has a daughter, Catherine, born in 1927. George R. Hemenway is administrator of his father’s estate, and married Ethel Mick, of Indianapolis. The younger daughter, Jamie E., is the wife of Everett Stump, a banker at Gary, Indiana, and has twin children, James and Everett M., born in January, 1928.
