Thomas and Emaline Varco

Thomas Varco, one of the earliest settlers, was born in England and moved at an early date to Canada where he married Emaline Eddy, who was born in Coberg, Ontario and is still living at the good old age of 84.

The family moved to Wisconsin, there remained six years, and then came to Austin arriving July 24, 1856. A daughter, Mrs. Amy Hart, now living in Austin, well remembers this long and tedious trip to Austin by ox cart.

Thomas Varco was a farmer and raised a family of eight children of whom five are living; Amy, now Mrs. Joel A. Hart; Maitland, who married Hattie Bowers; Charles, who married Isabell Gammel; Jennie, now Mrs. Berton Hart, and Justin, who married Etta Streeter and manages the home farm.

Thomas Varco died February 12, 1893
