============
Sylvanus and Lydia Hussey, and their family of four sons and two daughters, from Dartmouth, Mass., settled a mile and a half east of Aurora, on a farm now owned by their grandson. After living some years in primitive style, they built a framed house which was destroyed by fire. This they replaced by the one now standing, constructed of cobble stones. They were superior people; Lydia Hussey, a woman of strength of character and fine qualities, lived nearly a century.
