Amos D McCormick
Notes:

Among the many sons of Hendricks County who have left their native county for wider fields is Amos D. McCormick, who is at present the manager of the Capitol Lumber Company yards Number Two, of Indianapolis. He is one of those strong, self-reliant and determined characters who are occasionally met with and who are of such a distinct type as to seem to be born leaders. Not that Mr. McCormick courts that distinction, for he is entirely unassuming, but his force of character and his zeal and energy in whatever he undertakes naturally places him at the head of the crowd. He has held a number of positions and wherever he has been he has rendered faithful and efficient service to those who employed him. His life has been one of unceasing industry. The perseverance and the systemic and honorable methods he has followed have not only won for him the confidence of his employers, but of his fellow citizens as well. He is a man whom Hendricks County can be justly proud to claim and it is safe to say that he is just as proud of his home county. Amos D. McCormick, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Aquilla S. McCormick, was born February 24, 1870, northeast of Cartersburg, Hendricks County, Indiana. He remained at home until eighteen years of age and then started to clerk in the store of Pruitt Brothers at Cartersburg, where he remained for three or four years. He then went to work in the store of W.T. Jordan at Pittsboro where he remained until he was twenty-six years of age. He then went into the poultry business at Cartersburg and followed this for the next two years, when he went to farming on the farm where he was born. He was ambitious, however, to get into the business world and when the opportunity presented itself he left the farm and took a position with a lumber company. On March 1, 1901, he went to Linton and took a position with the Greer-Wilkinson Lumber Company, the largest lumber company in Indiana, having at that time forty yards throughout the state. He remained with this company a little more than two years and then went into the employ of the New Union Lumber Company at the same place as manager of their yards. From there he went to Indianapolis in the winter of 1906 and became estimator for the Burnett-Lewis Lumber Yards Company. Two years later he resigned his position and then spent a year at Los Angeles, California, with the Wells Fargo Express Company, but his love for the lumber business drew him back into that again and in 1908 he returned to Indiana and became manager of the New Union Lumber Company at Jasonville. He continued there until August 20, 1911, when he took his present position as manager of the Capitol Lumber Company, yard Number Two at Forty-eighth Street and Monon Railroad in Indianapolis. He has a thorough knowledge of the lumber business in all its details and is rapidly pushing to the front as a capable man in that line of business. Mr. McCormick was married in 1895 to Kate Brent, the daughter of George and Marion (McVay) Brent. His wife was born in the old Brent homestead, one and one-half miles southwest of Pittsboro. Her father was born on a farm near Campbellsburg, Kentucky, about 1844 the son of Sanford Brent and wife. He came to Hendricks County while a young man and was married to Marion McVay, the daughter of Molar and Mary (Bradshaw) McVay. The Bradshaws were early pioneers of this county. George Brent was a farmer all of his life, and died March 16, 1879, at the early age of thirty-five. After his death his widow married Dr. J.S. French, of Crawfordsville, and has lived in Pittsboro ever since. Mr. and Mrs. McCormick have one son, Edwin, born February 2, 1901. They still own the farm which was entered by Mr. McCormick's grandfather. Mr. and Mrs. McCormick are members of the Third Christian Church of Indianapolis and liberal supporters of that denomination. Mr. McCormick is a man of excellent parts and by his strong and vigorous personality has won success in his chosen field. He thoroughly understands every phase of the lumber business and because of this fact he is a very valuable man to the company which employs him. He is a wide reader and a close observer of men, and enjoys a large acquaintance among the business men of Indianapolis. He is a man of integrity and honor and lends his support to all measures which make for the welfare of his community, and for this reason is deservedly held in high regard by all who know him.
