Horace G. Cannon Dr.

When his son was four years old in 1840 the family moved to Parke County, Indiana. Horace was drowned in Sugar Creek when tryhing to cross it in the dark during a high flood.Though his body was never recovered, a clavicle (collar bone) was found in the spring and Gulie took it to be her husbands and dept it until her own passing, about 1880 in Tuscola, Illinoise, when it was placed in the coffin with her.

Horace Cannon had studied medicine at a Quaker School, in view of the information we find in the Quaker Meetings, we wonder if he ever did actuall become in good standing.
