Mr. Huyke served as deputy sheriff of Rock County beginning in 1852 (to 1856).

The evidence

• “Huyke was essentially a man of affairs, and besides carrying on his farm, devoted much time to outside matters. He served as deputy sheriff of Rock county from 1852 to 1856 and also was engaged some two years in shipping grain in Janesville. In politics he was a Republican, and in religious faith a Universalist.”
