Downing, who has lived within what is now Dick Johnson township since 1830, says that the last of the Bruin (bear) family seen in his neighborhood was killed on the site of the present Cottage Hill cemetery in 1833 or 1834, but by whom he does not remember...When asked about the last deer killed in the northwest part of the county, John S. Downing said "I killed it on my brother William Y. Downing's farm in the year 1849...John S. Downing, a surviving pioneer of Dick Johnson Township, relates that in the forepart of September, 1853, he made a trip to Missouri on horseback, returning the latter part of the fall. He had a favorite riding mare that he took to the Hendrix blacksmith shop, Brazil, to have shod for the trip, making the request of Eli Hendrix that he do the work himself, saying that he wanted the shoes put on so as to last for the round trip. His request was complied with, with the assurance that a good job had been done. The shoes not only staid on during the time of the round trip, but all through the succeeding winter, until worn down perfectly smooth, when, to removed them in the spring, he had to take the mare back to the shop to have them pulled off…As an example of the experiences of the pioneers of the county in having their grain reduced to breadstuff, John S. Downing, of Dick Johnson township, recalls a trip which he made at sixteen years of age, on horseback, with two bushels of wheat, to Kinsler’s mill, in Putnam county, the distance of about twenty miles. As he could not have his grist ground on the day that he went he staid over night, with permission to sleep in the mill; then, owning to the death of a child in the miller’s family that night, he could not have it ground until a day later, so he returned home to a late breakfast, the first meal that he had after leaving home the previous day. On the morning of the third day he returned to the mill, bringing home the flour at a late hour of the day. Thus, two bushels of wheat were converted into flour at the cost of three days’ time and the travel of eighty miles." History of Clay County, Indiana..., William Travis, 2 volumes, New York: Lewis Publishing Company, 1909, p549. *20 Apr 1910: died Dick Johnson Township of septisemia, gangrene of foot, buried Bee Ridge Cemetery, Clay County, Indiana. John S. was fourteen years old when his father died and he became the head of the family as he was the oldest son still at home. After working on the farm, he soon realized he was a good judge of livestock and he could make more money buying and selling livestock than he could make farming. This was his life's work until 1895 when he suffered a broken hip while driving a large number of hogs along the road - they crowded him off the road onto some ice where he slipped and fell. It was on his daughter Mary Emma's twenty-first birth and preparations were being made for a surprise party for her. His neighbors brought him home and put him to bed not realizing his hip was broken. When he was feeling worse the next day the doctor was summoned and it was learned the seriousness of his injury. He was determined to walk and first used crutches and then two canes. He finally was able to walk with one cane but never was able to ride a horse again. He loved to read and boasted that he had read the Bible from cover to cover seven times. He was devoutly religious and was a member and a deacon of the Bee Ridge Christian Church. In his later years, when his hearing failed, he bought a large wicker swivel chair and took it to the church. He picked a spot in front of the first pew to the left of the pulpit and sat there Sunday after Sunday listening intently to the minister.
