History of Illinois.
"^ The name of this beautiful Prairie State is derived from lUim, a
Delaware word signifying Superior Men. It has a French termination,
and is a symbol of how the two races — the French and the Indians —
were intermixed during the early history of the country.
The appellation was no doubt well applied to the primitive inhabit-
^ants of the soil whose prowess in savage warfare long withstood the
-^combined attacks of the fierce Iroquois on the one side, and the no less
(X>savage and relentless Sacs and Foxes on the other. The Illinois were
^" once a powerful confederacy, occupying the most beautiful and fertile
- region in the great Valley of the Mississippi, which their enemies coveted
^and struggled long and hard to wrest from them. Bv the fortunes of
,war they were diminished in numbers, and finally destroyed. " Starved
C^Rock," on the Illinois River, according to tradition, commemorates their
~ last tragedy, where, it is said, the entire tribe starved rather than sur-
render.
^ EARLY DISCOVERIES.
â– ^ The first European discoveries in Illinois date back over two hun-
dred years. They are a part of that movement which, from the begin-
ning to the middle of the seventeenth century, brought the French
Canadian missionaries and fur traders into the Valley of the Mississippi,
â– ;fand which, at a later period, established the civil and ecclesiastical
ithority of France from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico,
d from the foot-hills of the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountains.
j.^ The gre^t river of the West had been discovered by DeSoto, the
â– â– panish conqueror of Florida, three quarters of a century before the
!^ French founded Quebec in 1608, but the Spanish left the country a wil-
•' derness, without further exploration or settlement within its borders, in
which condition it remained until the Mississippi was discovered by the
- agentsof the French Canadian government, Jolietand Marquette, in 1673.
^ These renowned explorers were not the first white visitors to Illinois.
In 1671 — two years in advance of them — came Nicholas Perrot to Chicago.
He had been sent by Talon as an agent of the Canadian government to

cull a great peace convention of Western Indians at Green Bay, prepara-
tory to the movement for the discovery of the Mississippi. It was
deemed a good stroke of policy to secure, as far as possible, the friend-
ship and co-operation of the Indians, far and near, before venturing upon
an enterprise which their hostility might render disastrous, and which
their friendship and assistance would do so much to make successful ;
and to this end Perrot was sent to call together in council the tribes
throughout the Northwest, and to promise them the commerce and pro-
tection of the French government. He accordingly arrived at Green
Bay in 1671, and procuring an escort of Pottawattamies, proceeded in a
bark canoe upon a visit to the Miamis, at Chicago. Perrot was there-
fore the first European to set foot upon the soil of Illinois.
Still there were others before Marquette. In 1672, the Jesuit mis-
sionaries, Fathers Claude Allouez and Claude Dablon, bore the standard
of the Cross from their mission at Green Bay through western Wisconsin
and northern Illinois, visiting the Foxes on Fox River, and the Masquo-
tines and Kickapoos at the mouth of the Milwaukee. These missionaries
penetrated on the route afterwards followed by Marquette as far as the
Kickapoo village at the head of Lake Winnebago, where Marquette, in
his journey, secured guides across the portage to the Wisconsin.
The oft-repeated story of Marquette and Joliet is well known.
They were the agents employed by the Canadian government to discover
the Mississippi. Marquette was a native of France, born in 1637, a
Jesuit priest by education, and a man of simple faith and of great zeal and
devotion in extending; the Roman Catholic reliarion among- the Indians.
Arriving in Canada in 1666, he was sent as a missionary to the far
Northwest, and, in 1668, founded a mission at Sault Ste. Marie. The
following year he moved to La Pointe, in Lake Superior, where he
instructed a branch of the Hurons till 1670, when he removed south, and
founded the mission at St. Ignace, on the Straits of Mackinaw. Here
he remained, devoting a portion of his time to the study of the Illinois
language under a native teacher who had accompanied him to the mission
from La Pointe, till he was joined by Joliet in the Spring of 1673. By
the way of Green Bay and the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, they entered
the Mississippi, which they explored to the mouth of the Arkansas, and
returned by the way of tlie Illinois and Chicago Rivers to Lake. Michigan.
On his way up the Illinois, Marquette visited the great village of
the Kaskaskias, near what is now Utica, in the county of LaSalle. The
loUowing year he returned and established among them the mission of
ihe Immaculate Virgin Mary, which was the first Jesuit mission founded
in Illinois and in the Mississippi Valley. The intervening winter he
had spent in a hut which his com[)anions erected on the Chicago River, a
few leagues from its mouth. The founding of this mission was the last

act of Marquette's life. He died in Michigan, on his way back to Green
Bay, May 18, 1675.
FIRST FRENCH OCCUPATION.
The first French occupation of the territory now embraced in Illi-
nois was effected by LaSalle in 1680, seven years after the time of Mar-
quette and Joliet. LaSalle, having constructed a vessel, the " Griffin,"
above the falls of Niagara, which he sailed to Green Bay, and having
passed thence in canoes to the mouth of the St. Joseph River, by which
and the Kankakee he reached the Illinois, in January, 1680, erected Fort
Crevecoeur^ at the lower end of Peoria Lake, where the city of Peoria is
now situated. The place where this ancient fort stood may still be seen
just below the outlet of Peoria Lake. It was destined, however, to a
temporary existence. From this point, LaSalle determined to descend
the Mississippi to its mouth, but did not accomplish this purpose till two
years later — in 1682. Returning to Fort Frontenac for the purpose of
getting materials with which to rig his vessel, he left the fort in charge of
Touti, his lieutenant, who during his absence was driven oif by the Iro-
quois Indians. These savages had made a raid upon the settlement of
the Illinois, and had left nothing in their track but ruin and desolation.
Mr. Davidson, in his History of Illinois, gives the following graphic
account of the picture that met the eyes of LaSalle and his companions
on their return :
" At the great town of the Illinois they were appalled at the scene
which opened to their view. No hunter appeared to break its death-like
silence with a salutatory whoop ot welcome. The plain on which the
town had stood was now strewn with charred fragments of lodges, which
had so recently swarmed with savage life and hilarity. To render more
hideous the picture of desolation, large numbers af skulls had been
placed on the upper extremities of lodge-poles which had escaped the
devouring flames. In the midst of these horrors was the rude fort of
the spoilers, rendered frightful by the same ghastly relics. A near
approach showed that the graves had been robbed of their bodies, and
swarms of buzzards were discovered glutting their loathsome stomachs
on the reeking corruption. To complete the work of destruction, the
growing corn of the village had been cut down and burned, while the
pits containing the products of previous years, had been rifled and their
contents scattered with wanton waste. It was evident the suspected
blow of the Iroquois had fallen with relentless fury."
Touti had escaped LaSalle knew not whither. Passing down the
lake in search of him and his men, LaSalle discovered that the fort had
been destroyed, but the vessel which he had partly constructed was stiU

on the stocks and but slightly injured. After further fruitless search,
failing to find Touti, he fastened to a tree a painting representing himself
and party sitting in a canoe and bearing a pipe of peace, and to the paint-
ing attached a letter addressed to Touti.
Touti liad escaped, and, after untold privations, taken shelter among
the Pottawattamies near Green Bay. These were friendly to the French.
One of their old chiefs used to say, " There were but three great cap-
tains in the world, himself, Touti and LaSalle."
GENIUS OF LaSALLE.
We must now return to LaSalle, whose exploits stand out in such
bold relief. He was born in Rouen, France, in 1643. His father was
wealthy, but he renounced his patrimony on entering a college of the
Jesuits, from which he separated and came to Canada a poor man in 1666.
The priests of St. Sulpice, among whom he had a brother, were then the
proprietors of Montreal, the nucleus of which was a seminar}^ or con-
vent founded by that order. The Superior granted to LaSalle a large
tract of land at LaChine, where he established himself in the fur trade.
He was a man of daring genius, and outstripped all his competitors in
exploits of travel and commerce with the Indians. In 1669, he visited
the headquarters of the great Iroquois Confederacy, at Onondaga, in the
heart of New York, and, obtaining guides, explored the Ohio River to
the falls at Louisville.
In order to understand the genius of LaSalle, it must be remembered
that for many years prior to his time the missionaries and traders were
obliged to make their way to the Northwest by the Ottawa River (of
Canada) on account of the fierce hostility of the Iroquois along the lower
lakes and Niagara River, which entirely closed this latter route to the
Upper Lakes. They carried on their commerce chiefly b}^ canoes, pad-
dling them through the Ottawa to Lake Nipissing, carrying them across
the portage to French River, and descending that to Lake Huron. This
being the route by wliich they reached the Northwest, accounts for the
fact that all the earliest Jesuit missions were established in the neighbor-
hood of the Upper Lakes. LaSalle conceived the grand idea of opening
the route by Niagara River and the Lower Lakes to Canadian commerce
by sail vessels, connecting it with the navigation of the Mississippi, and
thus opening a magnificent water communication from the Gulf of St.
Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico. This truly grand and comprehensive
purpose seems to have animated him in all his wonderful achievements
and the matchless difficulties and hardships he surmounted. As the first
step in the accomplishment of this object he established himself on Lake
Ontario, and built and garrisoned Fort Frontenac, the site of the present
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLESTOIS. 17
city of Kingston, Canada. Here he obtained a grant of land from the
French crown and a body of troops by which he beat back the invading
Iroquois and cleared the passage to Niagara Falls. Having by this mas-
terly stroke made it safe to attempt a hitherto untried expedition, his
next step, as we have seen, was to advance to the Falls with all his
outfit for building a ship with which to sail the lakes. He was success-
ful in this undertaking, though his ultimate purpose was defeated by a
strange combination of untoward circumstances. Tlie Jesuits evidently
hated LaSalle and plotted against him, because he had abandoned them
and co-operated with a rival order. The fur traders were also jealous of
his superior success in opening new channels of commerce. At LaChine
he had taken the trade of Lake Ontario, which but for his presence there
would have gone to Quebec. While they were plodding with their bark
canoes through the Ottawa he was constructing sailing vessels to com-
mand the trade of the lakes and the Mississippi. These great plans
excited the jealousy and envy of the small traders, introduced treason and
revolt into the ranks of his own companions, and finally led to the foul
assassination by which his great achievements were prematurely ended.
In 1682, LaSalle, having completed his vessel at Peoria, descended
the Mississippi to its confluence with the Gulf of Mexico. Erecting a
standard on which he inscribed the arms of France, he took formal pos-
session of the whole valley of the mighty river, in the name of Louis
XIV., then reigning, in honor of whom he named the country Louisiana.
LaSalle then went to France, was appointed Governor, and returned
with a fleet and immigrants, for the purpose of planting a colony in Illi-
nois. They arrived in due time in the Gulf of Mexico, but failing to
find the mouth of the Mississippi, up which LaSalle intended to sail, his
supply ship, with the immigrants, was driven ashore and wrecked on
Matagorda Bay. With the fragments of the vessel he constructed a
stockade and rude huts on the shore for the protection of the immigrants,
calling the post Fort St. Louis. He then made a trip into New Mexico,
in search of silver mines, but, meeting with disappointment, returned to
find his little colony reduced to forty souls. He then resolved to travel
on foot to Illinois, and, starting with his companions, had reached the
valley of the Colorado, near the mouth of Trinity river, when he was
shot by one of his men. This occurred on the 19th of March, 1687.
Dr. J. W. Foster remarks of him : " Thus fell, not far from the banks
of the Trinity, Robert Cavalier de la Salle, one of the grandest charac-
ters that ever figured in American history — a man capable of originating
the vastest schemes, and endowed with a will and a judgment capable of
carrying tliem to successful results. Had ample facilities been placed by
the King of France at his disposal, the result of the colonization of this
continent might have been far different from what we now behold."

18 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
EARLY SETTLEMENTS.
A temporary settlement was made at Fort St. Louis, or the old Kas-
kaskia village, on the IHinois River, in what is now LaSalle County, in
1682. In 1690, this was removed, with the mission connected with it, to
Kaskaskia, on the river of that name, emptjdng into the lower Mississippi
in St. Clair County. Cahokia was settled about the same time, or at
least, both of these settlements began in the year 1690, though it is now
pretty well settled that Cahokia is the older place, and ranks as the oldest
permanent settlement in Illinois, as well as in the Mississippi Valley.
The reason for the removal of the old Kaskaskia settlement and mission,
was probably because the dangerous and difficult route by Lake Michigan
and the Chicago portage had been almost abandoned, and travelers and
traders passed down and up the Mississippi by the Fox and Wisconsin
River route. They removed to the vicinity of the Mississippi in order
to be in the line of travel from Canada to Louisiana, that is, the lower
part of it, for it was all Louisiana then south of the lakes.
During the period of French rule in Louisiana, the population prob-
ably never exceeded ten thousand, including whites and blacks. Within
that portion of it now included in Indiana, trading posts were established
at the principal Miami villages which stood on the head waters of the
Maumee, the Wea villages situated at Ouiatenon, on the Wabash, and
the Piankeshaw villages at Post Vincennes ; all of which were probably
visited by French traders and missionaries before the close of the seven-
teenth century.
In the vast territory claimed by the French, many settlements of
considerable importance had sprung up. Biloxi, on Mobile Bay, had
been founded ])y DTberville, in 1699 ; Antoine de Lamotte Cadillac had
founded Detroit in 1701 ; and New Orleans had been founded by Bien-
ville, under the auspices of the Mississippi Company, in 1718. In Illi-
nois also, considerable settlements had been made, so that in 1730 they
embraced one hundred and fortv French families, about six hundred " con-
verted Indians," and many traders and voyageurs. In that portion of the
country, on the east side of the Mississippi, there were five distinct set-
tlements, with their respective villages, viz.: Cahokia, near the mouth
of Cahokia Creek and about five miles below the present city of St.
Louis ; St. Philip, about forty-five miles below Cahokia, and four miles
above Fort Chartres ; Fort Chartres, twelve miles above Kaskaskia ;
Kaskaskia, situated on the Kaskaskia River, five miles above its conflu-
ence with the Mississippi ; and Prairie du Rocher, near Fort Chartres.
To these must be added St. Genevieve and St. Louis, on the west side
of the Mississijjpi. These, with the exception of St. Louis, are among
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 19
the oldest French towns in the Mississippi Valley. Kaskaskia, in its best
days, was a town of some two or three thousand inhabitants. After it
passed from the crown of France its population for many years did not
exceed fifteen hundred. Under British rule, in 1773, the population had
decreased to four hundred and fifty. As early as 1721, the Jesuits had
established a college and a monastery in Kaskaskia.
Fort Chartres was first built under the direction of the Mississippi
Company, in 1718, by M. de Boisbraint, a military officer, under command
of Bienville. It stood on the east bank of the Mississippi, about eighteen
miles below Kaskaskia, and was for some time the headquarters of the
military commandants of the district of Illinois.
In the Centennial Oration of Dr. Fowler, delivered at Philadelphia,
by appointment of Gov. Beveridge, we find some interesting facts with
regard to the State of Illinois, which we appropriate in this history:
In 1682 Illinois became a possession of the French crown, a depend-
ency of Canada, and a part of Louisiana. In 1765 the English flag was
run up on old Fort Chartres, and Illinois was counted among the treas-
ures of Great Britain.
In 1779 it was taken from the English by Col. George Rogers Clark.
This man was resolute in nature, wise in council, prudent in policy, bold
in action, and heroic in danger. Few men who have figured in the his-
tory of America are more deserving than this colonel. Nothing short of
first-class ability could have rescued Vincens and all Illinois from the
English. And it is not possible to over-estimate the influence of this
achievement upon the republic. In 1779 Illinois became a part of Vir-
ginia. It was soon known as Illinois County. In 1784 Virginia ceded
all this territory to the general government, to be cut into States, to be
republican in form, with '^ the same right of sovereignty, freedom, and
independence as the other States."
In 1787 it was the object of the wisest and ablest legislation found
in any merely human records. No man can study the secret history of
THE " COMPACT OF 1787,"
and not feel that Providence was guiding with sleepless eye these unborn
States. The ordinance that on July 13, 1787, finally became the incor-
porating act, has a most marvelous history. Jefferson had vainly tried
to secure a system of government for the northwestern territory. He
was an emancipationist of that day, and favored the exclusion of slavery
from the territory Virginia had ceded to the general government; but
the South voted him down as often as it came up. In 1787, as late as
July 10, an organizing act without the anti-slavery clause was pending.
This concession to the South was expected to carry it. Congress was in
20 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLDSrOIS.
session in New York City. On July 5, Rev. Dr. Manasseh Cutler, o£
Massachusetts, came into New York to lobby on the northwestern terri-
tory. Everything seemed to fall into his hands. Events were ripe.
The state of the public credit, the growing of Southern prejudice,
the basis of his mission, his personal character, all combined to complete
one of those sudden and marvelous revolutions of public sentiment that
once in five or ten centuries are seen to sweep over a country like the
breath of the Almighty. Cutler was a graduate of Yale — received his
A.M. from Harvard, and his D.D. from Yale. He had studied and taken
degrees in the three learned professions, medicine, law, and divinity. He
had thus America's best indorsement. He had published a scientific
examination of the plants of New England. His name stood second only
to that of Franklin as a scientist in America. He was a courtly gentle-
man of the old style, a man of commanding presence, and of inviting
face. The Southern members said they had never seen such a gentleman
in the North. He came representing a company that desired to purchase
a tract of land now included in Ohio, for the purpose of planting a colony.
It was a speculation. Government money was worth eighteen cents on
the dollar. This Massachusetts company had collected enough to pur-
chase 1,500,000 acres of land. Other speculators in New York made
Dr. Cutler their agent (lobbyist). On the 12th he represented a demand
for 5,500,000 acres. This would reduce the national debt. Jefferson
and Virginia were regarded as authority concerning the land Virginia
had just ceded. Jefferson's policy wanted to provide for the public credit,
and this was a good opportunity to do something.
Massachusetts then owned the territorv of Maine, which she was
crowding on the market. She was opposed to opening the northwestern
region. This fired the zeal of Virginia. The South caught the inspira-
tion, and all exalted Dr. Cutler. The English minister invited him to
dine with some of the Southern gentlemen. He was the center of interest.
The entire South rallied round him. Massachusetts could not vote
against him, because many of the constituents of her members were
interested personally in the western speculation. Thus Cutler, making
friends with the South, and, doubtless, using all the arts of the lobby,
was enabled to command the situation. True to deeper convictions, he
dictated one of the most compact and finished documents of wise states-
manship that has ever adorned any human law book. He borrowed from
Jefferson the terra " Articles of Compact," which, preceding the federal
constitution, rose into the most sacred character. He then followed very
closely the constitution of Massachusetts, adopted three years before.
Its most marked points were :
1. The exclusion of slavery from the territory forever.
2. Provision for public schools, giving one township for a seminary,
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 21
and every section numbered 16 in each township ; that is, one-thirty-sixth
of all the land, for public schools.
3. A provision prohibiting the adoption of any constitution or the
enactment of any laAV that should nullify pre-existing contracts.
Be it forever remembered that this compact declared that " Religion,
morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the
happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall always
be encouraged."
Dr. Cutler planted himself on this platform and would not yield.
Giving his unqualified declaration that it was that or nothing — that unless
the}' could make the land desirable they did not want it — he took his
horse and buggy, and started for the constitutional convention in Phila-
delphia. On July 13, 1787, the bill was put upon its passage, and was
unanimously adopted, every Southern member voting for it, and only one
man, Mr. Yates, of New York, voting against it. But as the States voted
as States, Yates lost his vote, and the compact was put beyond repeal.
Thus the great States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wis-
consin — a vast empire, the heart of the great valley — were consecrated
to freedom, intelligence, and honesty. Thus the great heart of the nation
was prepared for a year and a day and an hour. In the light of these eighty-
nine years I affirm that this act was the salvation of the republic and the
destruction of slavery. Soon the South saw their great blunder, and
tried to repeal the compact. In 1803 Congress referred it to a committee
of which John Randolph was chairman. He reported that this ordinance
was a compact, and opposed repeal. Thus it stood a rock, in the way
of the on-rushing sea of slavery.
With all this timely aid it was, after all, a most desperate and pro-
tracted struggle to keep the soil of Illinois sacred to freedom. It was
the natural battle-field for the irrepressible conflict. In the southern end
of the State slavery preceded the compact. It existed among the old
French settlers, and was hard to eradicate. The southern part of the
State was settled from the slave States, and this population brought their
laws, customs, and institutions with them. A stream of population from
the North poured into the northern part of the State. These sections
misunderstood and hated each other perfectly. The Southerners regarded
the Yankees as a skinning, tricky, penurious race of peddlers, filling the
country with tinware, brass clocks, and wooden nutmegs. The North-
erner thought of the Southerner as a lean, lank, lazy creature, burrowing
in a hut, and rioting in whisky, dirt and ignorance. These causes aided
in making the struggle long and bitter. So strong was the sympathy
with slavery that, in spite of the ordinance of 1787, and in spite of the
deed of cession, it was determined to allow the old French settlers to
retain their slaves. Planters from the slave States might bring their
22 HISTORY OF THHR STATE OF ILLINOIS.
slaves, if they would give them a chance to choose freedom or years
of service and bondage for their children till they should become
thirty years of age. If they chose freedom they must leave the State
in sixt}^ days or be sold as fugitives. Servants were whipped for offenses
for which white men are fined. Each lash paid forty cents of the fine. A
neo-ro ten miles from home without a pass was whipped. These famous
laws were imported from the slave States just as they imported laws for
the inspection of flax and wool when there was neither in the State.
These Black Laws are now wiped out. A vigorous effort was made
to protect slavery in the State Constitution of 1817. It barely failed.
It was renewed in 1825, when a convention was asked to make a new
constitution. After a hard fight the convention was defeated. But
slaves did not disappear from the census of the State until 1850. There
were mobs and murders in the interest of slavery. Lovejoy was added
to the list of martyrs — a sort of first-fruits of that long life of immortal
heroes who saw freedom as the one supreme desire of their souls, and
were so enamored of her that they preferred to die rather than survive her.
The population of 12,282 that occupied the territory in A.D. 1800,
increased to 45,000 in A.D. 1818, when the State Constitution was
adopted, and Illinois took her place in the Union, with a star on the flag
and two votes in the Senate.
Shadrach Bond was the first Governor, and in his first message he
recommended the construction of the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
The simple economy in those days is seen in the fact that the entire
bill for stationery for the first Legislature was onl}^ $13.50. Yet this
simple body actually enacted a very superior code.
There was no money in the territory before the war of 1812. Deer
skins and coon skins were the circulating medium. In 1821, the Legis-
lature ordained a State Bank on the credit of the State. It issued notes
in the likeness of bank bills. These notes were made a legal tender for
every thing, and the bank was ordered to loan to the people $100 on per-
sonal security, and more on mortgages. They actually passed a resolu-
tion requesting the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States to
receive these notes for land. The old French Lieutenant Governor, Col.
Menard, put the resolution as follows: "' Gentlemen of the Senate : It is
moved and seconded dat de notes of dis hank be made land-office money.
All in favor of dat motion say aye ; all against it say no. It is decided
in de aflfirmative. Now, gentlemen, I bet you one hundred dollar he
never be land-office money ! " Hard sense, like hard money, is always
above par.
This old Frenchman presents a fine figure up against the dark back-
ground of most of his nation. They nuide no progress. They clung to
their earliest and simplest implements. They never wore hats or caps.
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 23
They pulled their blankets over their heads in the winter like the Indians,
with whom they freely intermingled,
Demag'ogism had an early development. One John Grammar (onlv
in name), elected to the Territorial and State Legislatures of 181G and
1836, invented the policy of opposing every new thing, saying, " If it
succeeds, no one will ask who voted against it. If it proves a failure, he
could quote its record," In sharp contrast with Grammar was the char-
acter of D. P. Cook, after whom the county containing Chicago was
named. Such was his transparent integrity and remarkable ability that
his will was almost the law of the State. In Congress, a young man,
and from a poor State, he was made Chairman of the Ways tind Means
Committee. He was pre-eminent for standing by his committee, regard-
less of consequences. It was his integrity that elected John Quincy
Adams to the Presidency. There were four candidates in 1824, Jackson,
Clay, Crawford, and John Quincy Adams. There being no choice by the
people, the election was thrown into the House. It was so balanced that
it turned on his vote, and that he cast for Adams, electing him ; then
went home to face the wrath of the Jackson party in Illinois. It cost
liim all but character and greatness. It is a suggestive comment on the
times, that there was no legal interest till 1830. It often reached 150
per cent., usually 50 per cent. Then it was reduced to 12, and now to
10 per cent.
PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE PRAIRIE STATE,
In area. the State has 55,410 square miles of territor3^ It is about
150 miles wide and 400 miles long, stretching in latitude from Maine to
North Carolina. It embraces wide variety of climate. It is tempered
on the north by the great inland, saltless, tideless sea, which keeps the
thermometer from either extreme. Being a table land, from 600 to 1,600
feet above the level of the sea, one is prepared to find on the health
maps, prepared by the general government, an almost clean and perfect
record. In freedom from fever and malarial diseases and consumptions,
the three deadly enemies of the American Saxon, Illinois, as a State,
stands without a superior. She furnishes one of the essential conditions
of a great people — sound bodies. I suspect that this fact lies back of.
that old Delaware word, Illini, superior men.
The great battles of history that have been determinative of dynas-
ties and destinies have been strategical battles, chiefly the question of
position. Thermopylae has been the war-cry of freemen for twenty -four
centuries. It only tells how much there may be in position. All this

the continent. It is in the great temperate belt, in which have been
found nearly all the aggressive civilizations of history. It has sixty-five
miles of frontage on the head of the lake. With the Mississippi forming
the western and southern boundarv, with the Ohio runninsr alono^ the
southeastern line, with the Illinois River and Canal dividing the State
diagonally from the lake to the Lower Mississippi, and with the Rock and
Wabash Rivers furnishing altogether 2,000 miles of water-front, con-
necting with, and running through, in all about 12,000 miles of navi-
gable water.
But this is not all. These waters are made most available by the
fact that the lake and the State lie on the ridge running into the great
valley from the east. Within cannon-shot of the lake the water runs
away from the lake to the Gulf. The lake now empties at both ends,
one into the Atlantic and one into the Gulf of Mexico. The lake thus
seems to hang over the land. This makes the dockage most serviceable ;
there are no steep banks to damage it. Both lake and river are made
for use.
The climate varies from Portland to Richmond ; it favors every pro-
duct of the continent, including the tropics, with less than half a dozen
exceptions. It produces every great nutriment of the world except ban-
anas and rice. It is hardly too much to say that it is the most productive
spot known to civilization. With the soil full of bread and the earth full
of minerals ; with an upper .surface of food and an under layer of fuel ;
with perfect natural drainage, and abundant springs and streams and
navigable rivers ; half way between the forests of the North and the fruits
of the South ; within a day's ride of the great deposits of iron, coal, cop-
per, lead, and zinc ; containing and controlling the great grain, cattle,
pork, and lumber markets of the world, it is not strange that Illinois has
the advantage of position.
This advantage has been supplemented by the character of the popu-
lation. In the early days when Illinois was first admitted to the Union,
her population were cliiefly from Kentucky and Virginia. But, in the
conflict of ideas concerning slavery, a strong tide of emigration came in
from the East, and soon changed this composition. In 1870 her non-
native population were from colder soils. New York furnished 133,290 ;
Ohio gave 102,623 ; Pennsylvania sent on 98,352; the entire South gave
us only 206,734. In all her cities, and in all her German and Scandina-
vian and other foreign colonies, Illinois has only about one-fifth of her
people of foreigji birth.
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ELLINOIS. 26
PROGRESS OF DEVELOPMENT.
One of the greatest elements in the early development of Illinois is
the Illinois and Michigan Canal, connecting the Illinois and Mississippi
Rivers with the lakes. It was of the utmost importance to the State.
It was recommended by Gov. Bond, the first governor, in his first message.
In 1821, the Legislature appropriated $10,000 for surveying the route.
Two bright young engineers surveyed it, and estimated the cost at
1600,000 or $700,000. It finally cost $8,000,000. In 1825, a law was
passed to incorporate the Canal Company, but no stock was sold. In
1826, upon the solicitation of Cook, Congress gave 800,000 acres of land
on the line of the work. In 1828, another law — commissioners appointed,
and work commenced with new survey and new estimates. In 1834-35,
George Farquhar made an able report on the whole matter. This was,
doubtless, the ablest report ever made to a western legislature, and it
became the model for subsequent reports and action. From this the
work went on till it was finished in 1848. It cost the State a laro-e
amount of money ; but it gave to the industries of the State an impetus
that pushed it up into the first rank of greatness. It was not built as a
speculation any more than a doctor is employed on a speculation. But
it has paid into the Treasury of the State an average annual net sum of
over $111,000.
Pending the construction of the canal, the land and town-lot fever
broke out in the State, in 1834-35. It took on the malignant type in
Chicago, lifting the town up into a city. The disease spread over the
entire State and adjoining States. It was epidemic. It cut up men's
farms without regard to locality, and cut up the purses of the purchasers
without regard to consequences. It is estimated that building lots enough
were sold in Indiana alone to accommodate every citizen then in the
United States.
Towns and cities were exported to the Eastern market by the ship-
load. There was no lack of buyers. Every up-ship came freighted with
speculators and their money.
This distemper seized upon the Legislature in 1836-37, and left not
one to tell the tale. They enacted a system of internal improvement
without a parallel in the grandeur of its conception. They ordered the
construction of 1,300 miles of railroad, crossing the State in all direc-
tions. This was surpassed by the river and canal improvements.
There were a few counties not touched by either railroad or river or
canal, and those were to be comforted and compensated by the free dis-
tril)ution of $200,000 among them. To inflate this ])alloon beyond cre-
dence it was ordered that work should be commenced on both ends of
26 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
each of these railroads and rivers, and at each river-crossing, all at the
same time. The appropriations for these vast improvements were over
'$12,000,000, and commissioners were appointed to borrow the money on
the credit of the State. Remember that all this was in the early days of
railroading, when railroads were luxuries ; that the State had whole
counties with scarcely a cabin ; and that the population of the State was
less than 400,000, and you can form some idea of the vigor with which
these brave men undertook the work of making a great State. In the
light of history I am compelled to say that this was only a premature
throb of the power that actually slumbered in the soil of the State. It
was Hercules in the cradle.
At this juncture the State Bank loaned its funds largely to Godfrey
Gilman & Co., and to other leading houses, for the purpose of drawing
trade from St. Louis to Alton. Soon they failed, and took down the
bank with them.
In 1840, all hope seemed gone. A population of 480,000 were loaded
with a debt of $14,000,000. It had only six small cities, really only-
towns, namely : Chicago, Alton, Springfield, Quincy, Galena, Nauvoo.
This debt was to be cared for when there was not a dollar in the treas-
ury, and when the State had borrowed itself out of all credit, and when
there was not good money enough in the hands of all the people to pay
the interest of the debt for a single year. Yet, in the presence of all
these difficulties, the young State steadily refused to repudiate. Gov.
Ford took hold of the problem and solved it, bringing the State through
in triumph.
Having touched lightly upon some of the more distinctive points in
the history of the development of Illinois, let us next briefly consider the
MATERIAL RESOURCES OF THE STATE.
It is a garden four hundred miles long and one hundred and fifty
miles wide. Its soil is chiefly a black sandy loam, from six inches to
sixty feet thick. On the American bottoms it has been cultivated for
one hundred and fifty years without renewal. About the old French
towns it has yielded corn for a century and a half without rest or help.
It produces nearly everything green in the temperate and tropical "zones.
She leads all other States in the number of acres actually under plow.
Her products from 25,000,000 of acres are incalculable. Her mineral
wealth is scarcely second to her agricultural power. She has coal, iron,
lead, copper, zinc, many varieties of building stone, fire clay, cuma clay,
common brick clay, sand of all kinds, gravel, mineral paint — every thing
needed for a higli civilization. Left to lierself, she has the elements of
all greatness. The single item of coal is too vast for an appreciative
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 27
handling in figures. We can handle it in general terms like algebraical
signs, but long before we get up into the millions and i)illions the human
mind drops down from comprehension to mere symbolic apprehension.
When I tell you that nearly four-fifths of the entire State is under-
laid with a deposit of coal more than forty feet thick on the average (now
estimated, by recent surveys, at seventy feet thick), you can get some
idea of its amount, as you do of the amount of the national debt. There
it is ! 41,000 square miles — one vast mine into which you could put
any of the States ; in which you could bury scores of European and
ancient empires, and have room enough all round to work without know-
ing that they had been sepulchered there.
Put this vast coal-bed down by the other great coal deposits of the
world, and its importance becomes manifest. Great Britain has 12,000
square miles of coal; Spain, 3,000; France, 1,719 ; Belgium, 578 ; Illinois
about twice as many square miles as all combined. Virginia has 20,000
square miles ; Pennsylvania, 16,000 ; Ohio, 12,000. Illinois has 41,000
square miles. One-seventh of all the known coal on this continent is in
Illinois.
Could we sell the coal in this single State for one-seventh of one cent
a ton it would pay the national debt. Converted into power, even with
the wastage in our common engines, it would do more work than could
be done by the entire race, beginning at Adam's wedding and working
ten hours a day through all the centuries till the present time, and right
on into the future at the same rate for the next 600,000 years.
Great Britain uses enough mechanical power to-day to give to each
man, woman, and child in the kingdom the help and service of nineteen
untiring servants. No wonder she has leisure and luxuries. No wonder
the home of the common artisan has in it more luxuries than could be
found in the palace of good old King Arthur. Think, if you can conceive
of it, of the vast army of servants that slumber in the soil of Illinois,
impatiently awaiting the call of Genius to come forth to minister to our
comfort.
At the present rate of consumption England's coal supply will be
exhausted in 250 years. When this is gone she must transfer her dominion
either to the Indies, or to British America, which I would not resist ; or
to some other people, which I would regret as a loss to civilization.
COAL IS KING.
At the same rate of consumption (which far exceeds our own) the
deposit of coal in Illinois will last 120,000 years. And her kingdom shall
be an everlasting kingdom.
Let us turn now from this reserve power to the annwxl producta of
28 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
the State. We shall not be humiliated in this field. Here we strike the
secret of our national credit. Nature provides a market in the constant
appetite of the race. Men must eat, and if we can furnish the provisions
we can command the treasure. All that a man hath will he give for his
hfe.
According- to the last census Illinois produced 30,000,000 of bushels-
of wheat. That is more wheat than was raised by any other State in the
Union. She raised last year 130,000,000 of bushels of corn — twice as
much as any other State, and one-sixth of all the corn raised in the United
States. She harvested 2,747,000 tons of hay, nearly one-tenth of all the
hay in the Republic. It is not generally appreciated, but it is true, that
the ha}'^ crop of the country is worth more than the cotton crop. The
hay of Illinois equals the cotton of Louisiana. Go to Charleston, S. C,
and see them peddling handfuls of hay or grass, almost as a curiosity,
as we regard Chinese gods or the cryolite of Greenland ; drink your
coffee and condensed milk ; and walk back from the coast for many a
league through the sand and burs till you get up into the better atmos-
phere of tlie mountains, without seeing a waving meadow or a grazing
herd ; then you will begin to appreciate the meadows of the Prairie State,
where the grass often grows sixteen feet high.
The value of her farm implements is $211,000,000, and the value of
her live stock is only second to the great State of New York. Last year
she had 25,000,000 hogs, and packed 2,113,845, about one-half of all that
were packed in the United States. This is no insignificant item. Pork
is a growing demand of the old world. Since the laborers of Europe
have gotten a taste of our bacon, and we have learned how to pack it dry
in boxes, like dry goods, the world has become the market.
The hog is on the march into the future. His nose is ordained to
uncover the secrets of dominion, and his feet shall be guided by the star
of empire.
Illinois marketed $57,000,000 worth of slaughtered animals — more
than any other State, and a seventh of all the States.
Be patient with me, and pardon my pride, and I will give you a list
of some of the things in which Illinois excels all other States.
Depth and richness of soil ; per cent, of good ground ; acres of
improved land ; large farms — some farms contain from 40,000 to 60,000
acres of cultivated land, 40,000 acres of corn on a single farm ; number of
farmers ; amount of wheat, corn, oats and honey produced ; value of ani-
mals for slaughter ; number of hogs ; amount of pork ; number of horses
— three times as many as Kentucky, the horse State.
Illinois excels all other States in miles of railroads and in miles of
postal service, and in money orders sold per annum, and in the amount of
lumber sold in her markets.
HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 29
Illinois is only second in many important matters. This sample list
comprises a few of the more important : Permanent school fund (good
for a young state) ; total income for educational purposes ; number of pub-
lishers of books, maps, papers, etc.; value of farm products and imple-
ments, and of live stock ; in tons of coal mined.
The shipping of Illinois is only second to New York. Out of one
port during the business hours of the season of navigation she sends forth
a vessel every ten minutes. This does not include canal boats, which go
one every five minutes. No wonder she is only second in number of
bankers and brokers or in physicians and surgeons.
She is third in colleges, teachers and schools ; cattle, lead, hay,
flax, sorghum and beeswax.
She is fourth in population, in children enrolled in public schools, in
law schools, in butter, potatoes and carriages.
She is fifth in value of real and personal property, in theological
seminaries and colleges exclusively for women, in milk sold, and in boots
and shoes manufactured, and in book-binding.
She is only seventh in the production of wood, while she is the
twelfth in area. Surely that is well done for the Prairie State. She now
has much more wood and growing timber than she had thirty years ago.
A few leading industries will justify emphasis. She manufactures
$205,000,000 worth of goods, which places her well up toward New York
and Pennsylvania. The number of her manufacturing establishments
increased from 1860 to 1870, 300 per cent.; capital employed increased 350
per cent,, and the amount of product increased 400 per cent. She issued
5,500,000 copies of commercial and financial newspapers — only second to
New York. She has 6,759 miles of railroad, thus leading all other States,
worth $636,458, 000, using 3,245 engines, and 67,712 cars, making a train
Ions enouoh to cover one-tenth of the entire roads of the State. Her
stations are only five miles apart. She carried last year 15,795,000 passen-
gers, an average of 36^^ miles, or equal to taking her entire population twice
across the State. More than two-thu-ds of her land is within five miles of
a railroad, and less than two per cent, is more than fifteen miles away.
The State has a large financial interest in the Illinois Central railroad.
The road was incorporated in 1850, and the State gave each alternate sec-
tion for six miles on each side, and doubled the price of the remaining
land, so keeping herself good. The road received 2,595,000 acres of land,
and pays to the State one-seventh of the gross receipts. The State
receives this year $350,000, and has received in all about $7,000,000. It
is practically the people's road, and it has a most able and gentlemanly
management. Add to this the annual receipts from the canal, $111,000,
and a large per cent, of the State tax is provided for.
30 mSTOKY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
THE RELIGION AND MORALS
of the State keep step with her productions and growth. She was born
of the missionary spirit. It was a minister who secured for her the ordi-
nance of 1787, by which she has been saved from slavery, ignorance, and
dishonesty. Rev. Mr. Wiley, pastor of a Scotch congregation in Randolph
County, petitioned the Constitutional Convention of 1818 to recognize
Jesus Christ as king, and the Scriptures as the only necessary guide and
book of law. The convention did not act in the case, and the old Cove-
nanters refused to accept citizenship. They never voted until 1824, when
the slavery question was submitted to the people ; then they all voted
against it and cast the determining votes. Conscience has predominated
whenever a great moral question has been submitted to the people.
But little mob violence has ever been felt in the State. In 1817
regulators disposed of a band of horse-thieves that infested the territory.
The Mormon indignities finally awoke the same spirit. Alton was also
the scene of a pro-slavery mob, in which Lovejoy was added to the list of
martyrs. The moral sense of the people makes the law supreme, and gives
to the State unruffled peace.
With $22,300,000 in church property, and 4,298 church organizations,
the State has that divine police, the sleepless patrol of moral ideas, that
alone is able to secure perfect safety. Conscience takes the knife from
the assassin's hand and the bludgeon from the grasp of the highwayman.
We sleep in safety, not because we are behind bolts and bars — these only
fence against the innocent ; not because a lone officer drowses on a distant
corner of a street ; not because a sheriff may call his posse from a remote
part of the county ; but because conscience guards the very portals of the
air and stirs in the deepest recesses of the public mind. This spirit issues
within the State 9,500,000 copies of religious papers annually, and receives
still more from withowt. Thus the crime of the State is only one-fourth
that of New York and one-half that of Pennsylvania.
Illinois never had but one duel between her own citizens. In Belle-
ville, in 1820, Alphonso Stewart and William Bennett arranged to vindi-
cate injured honor. The seconds agreed to make it a sham, and make
them shoot blanks. Stewart was in the secret. Bennett mistrusted some-
thing, and, unobserved, slipped a bullet into his gun and killed Stewart.
He then fled the State. After two years he was caught, tried, convicted,
and, in spite of friends and political aid, was hung. This fixed the code
of honor on a Christian basis, and terminated its use in Illinois.
The early preachers were ignorant men, who were accounted eloquent
according to the strength of their voices. But they set the style for all
public speakers. Lawyers and political speakers followed this rule. Gov.
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. SI
Ford says: "Nevertheless, these first preachers were of incalculable
benefit to the country. They inculcated justice and morality. To them
are we indebted for the first Christian character of the Protestant portion
of the people."
In education Illinois surpasses her material resources. The ordinance
of 1787 consecrated one thirty-sixth of her soil to common schools, and
the law of 1818, the first law that went upon her statutes, gave three per
cent, of all the rest to
EDUCATION INSTEAD OF HIGHWAYS.
The old compact secures this interest forever, and by its yoking
morality and intelligence it precludes the legal interference with the Bible
in the public schools. With such a start it is natural that we should have
11,050 schools, and that our illiteracy should be less than New York or
Pennsylvania, and only about one-half of Massachusetts. We are not to
blame for not having more than one-half as many idiots as the great
States. These public schools soon made colleges inevitable. The first
college, still flourishing, was started in Lebanon in 1828, by the M. E.
church, and named after Bishop McKendree. Illinois College, at Jackson-
ville, supported by the Presbyterians, followed in 1830. In 1832 the Bap-
tists built Shurtleff College, at Alton. Then the Presbyterians built Knox
College, at Galesburg, in 1838, and the Episcopalians built Jubilee College,
at Peoria, in 1847. After these early years colleges have rained down.
A settler could hardly encamp on the prairie but a college would spring
up by his wagon. The State now has one very well endowed and equipped
university, namely, the Northwestern University, at Evanston, with six
colleges, ninety instructors, over 1,000 students, and $1,500,000 endow-
ment.
Rev. J. M. Peck was the first educated Protestant minister in tne
State. He settled at Rock Spring, in St. Clair County, 1820, and left his
impress on the State. Before 1837 only party papers were published, but
Mr. Peck published a Gazetteer of Illinois. Soon after John Russell, of
BluflFdale, published essays and tales showing genius. Judge James Hall
published' The Illinois Monthly Magazine with great ability, and an annual
called The Western Souvenir^ which gave him an enviable fame all over the
United States. From these beginnings Illinois has gone on till she has
more volumes in public libaaries even than Massachusetts, and of the
44,500,000 volumes in all the public libraries of the United States, she
has one-thirteenth. In newspapers she stands fourth. Her increase is
marvelous. In 1850 she issued 5,000,000 copies; in 1860, 27,590,000 ; in
1870, 113,140,000. In 1860 she had eighteen colleges and seminaries ; in
1870 she had eighty. That is a grand advance for the war decade.
This brings us to a record unsurpassed in the history of any age,
32 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
THE WAR RECORD OF ILLINOIS.
I hardly know where to begin, or how to advance, or what to say. I
can at best give you only a broken synopsis of her deeds, and you must
put Them in the order of glory for yourself. Her sons have always been
foremost on fields of danger. In 1832-33, at the call of Gov. Reynolds,
her sons drove Blackhawk over the Mississippi.
When the Mexican war came, in May, 1846, 8,370 men offered them-
selves when only 3,720 could be accepted. The fields of Buena Vista and
Vera Cruz, and the storming of Cerro Gordo, will carry the glory of Illinois
soldiers along after the infamy of the cause they served has been forgotten.
But it was reserved till our day for her sons to £nd a field and cause and
foemen that could fitly illustrate their spirit and heroism. Illinois put
into her own regiments for the United States government 256,000 men,
and into the armv through other States enough to swell the number to
290,000. This far exceeds all the soldiers of' the federal government in
all the war of the revolution. Her total years of service were over 600,000.
She enrolled men from eighteen to fort}" -five years of age when the law
of Congress in 1861 — the test time — only asked for those from twenty to
forty-five. Her enrollment was otherwise excessive. Her people wanted
to go, and did not take the pains to correct the enrollment. Thus the
basis of fixing the quota was too great, and then the quota itself, at least
in the trying time, was far above any other State.
Thus the demand on some counties, as Monroe, for example, took every
able-bodied man in the county, and then did not have enough to fill the
quota. Moreover, Illinois sent 20,814 men for ninety or one hundred days,
for whom no credit was asked. When Mr. Lincoln's attention was called
to the inequality of the quota compared with other States, he replied,
" The country needs the sacrifice. We must put the whip on the free
horse."' In spite of all these disadvantages Illinois gave to the country
73,000 y'ears of service above all calls. With one-thirteenth of the popu-
lation of the loyal States, she sent regularly one-tenth of all the soldiers,
and in the peril of the closing calls, when patriots were few and weary,
she then sent one-eighth of all that were called for by her loved and hon-
ored son in the white house. Her mothers and daughters went into the
fields to raise the grain and keep the children together, while the fathers
and older sons went to the harvest fields of the world. I knew a father
and four sons who agreed that one of them must stay at home ; and they
pulled straws from a stack to see who might go. The father was left.
The next day he came into the camp, saying : " Mother says she can get
the crops in, and I am going, too." I know large Methodist churches
from which every male member went to the army. Do you want to know
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 33
what these heroes from Illinois did in the field ? Ask any soldier with a
good record of his own, who is thus able to judge, and he will tell you
that the Illinois men went in to win. It is common history that the greater
victories were won in the West. When everything ^else looked dark Illi-
nois was gaining victories all down the river, and dividing the confederacy.
Sherman took with him on his great march forty-five regiments of Illinois
infantry, three companies of artillery, and one company of cavahy. He
could not avoid
GOING TO THE SEA.
If he had been killed, I doubt not the men would have gone right on.
Lincoln answered all rumors of Sherman's defeat with, " It is impossible ;
there is a mighty sight of fight in 100,000 Western men." Illinois soldiers
brought home 300 battle-flags. The first United States flag that floated
over Richmond was an Illinois flag. She sent messengers and nurses to
ever}'- field and hospital, to care for her sick and wounded sons. She said,
'â– These suffering ones are my sons, and I will care for them."
When individuals had given all, then cities and town's came forward
with their credit to the extent of many millions, to aid these men and
their families.
Illinois gave the country the great general of the war — Ulysses S.
Grant — since honored with two terms of the Presidency of the United
States.
One other name from Illinois comes up in all minds, embalmed in all
hearts, that must have the supreme place in this story of our glory and
of our nation's honor ; that name is Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois.
The analysis of Mr. Lincoln's character is diflicult on account of its
symmetry.
In this age we look with admiration at his uncompromising honesty.
And well we may, for this saved us. Thousands throughout the length
and breadth of our country who knew him only as " Honest Old Abe,"
voted for him on that account ; and wisely did they choose, for no other
man could have carried us through the fearful night of the war. When
his plans were too vast for our comprehension, and his faith in the cause
too sublime for our participation ; Avhen it was all night about us, and all
dread before us, and all sad and desolate behind us ; when not one ray
shone upon our cause ; when traitors were haughty and exultant at the
South, and fierce and blasphemous at the North ; when the loyal men here
seemed almost in the minority ; when the stoutest heart quailed, the bravest
cheek paled ; when generals were defeating each other for place, and
contractors were leeching out the very heart's blood of the prostrate
republic : when every thing else had failed us, we looked at this calm,
patient man standing like a rock in the storm, and said : " Mr. Lincoln
34 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINGIS.
is honest, and we can trust him still." Holding to this single point with
the energy of faith and despair we held .together, and, under God, he
brought us through to victory.
His practical wisdom made him the wonder of all lands. With such
certainty did Mr. Lincoln follow causes to their ultimate effects, that his
foresight of contingencies seemed almost prophetic.
He is radiant with all the great virtues, and his memory shall shed a
glory upon this age that shall fill the eyes of men as they look into his-
tory. Other men have excelled him in some point, but, taken at all
points, all in all, he stands head and shoulders above every other man of
6,000 years. An administrator, he saved the nation in the perils of
unparalleled civil war. A statesman, he justified his measures by their
success. A philanthropist, he gave liberty to one race and salvation to
another. A moralist, he bowed from the summit of human power to the
foot of the Cross, and became a Christian. A mediator, he exercised mercy
under the most absolute abeyance to law. A leader, he was no partisan.
A commander, he was untainted with blood. A ruler in desperate times,
he was unsullied with crime. A man, he has left no word of passion, no
thought of malice, no trick of craft, no act of jealousy, no purpose of
selfish ambition. Thus perfected, without a model, and without a peer,
he was dropped into these troubled years to adorn and embellish all that
is good and all that is great in our humanity, and to present to all coming
time the representative of the divine idea of free government.
It is not too much to say that away down in the future, when the
republic has fallen from its niche in the wall of time ; when the great
war itself shall have faded out in the distance like a mist on the horizon ;
when the Anglo-Saxon language shall be spoken only by the tongue of
the stranger ; then the generations looking this way shall see the great
president as the supreme figure in this vortex of history
CHICAGO.
It is impossible in our brief space to give more than a meager sketch
of such a city as Chicago, which is in itself the greatest marvel of the
Prairie State. This mysterious, majestic, mighty city, born first of water,
and next of fire; sown in weakness, and raised in power ; planted among
the willows of the marsh, and crowned with the glory of the mountains ;
sleeping on the bosom of the prairie, and rocked on the bosom of the sea ;
the youngest city of the world, and still the eye of the prairie, as Damas-
cus, the oldest city of the world, is the eye of the desert. With a com-
merce far exceeding that of Corinth on her isthmus, in the highway to
the East ; with the defenses of a continent piled around her by the thou-
sand miles, making her far safer than Rome on the banks of the Tiber ;

with schools eclipsing Alexandria and Athens ; with liberties more con-
spicuous than those of the old, republics ; with a heroism equal to the first
Carthage, and with a sanctity scarcel}' second to that of Jerusalem — set
your thoughts on all this, lifted into the eyes of all men by the miracle of
its growth, illuminated by the flame of its fall, and transfigured by the
divinity of its resurrection, and you will feel, as I do, the utter impossi-
bility of compassing this subject as it deserves. Some impression of her
importance is received from the shock her burning gave to the civilized
world.
When the doubt of her calamity was removed, and the horrid fact
was accepted, there went a shudder over all cities, and a quiver over all
lands. There was scarcely a town in the civilized world that did not
shake on the brink of this opening chasm. The flames of our homes red-
dened all skies. The city was set upon a hill, and could not be hid. All
eyes were turned upon it. To have struggled and suffered amid the
scenes of its fall is as distinguishing as to have fought at Thermopylae, or
Salamis, or Hastings, or Waterloo, or Bunker Hill.
Its calamity amazed the world, because it was felt to be the common
property of mankind.
The early history of the city is full of interest, just as the early his-
tory of such a man as Washington or Lincoln becomes public property,
and is cherished by every patriot.
Starting with 560 acres in 1833, it embraced and occupied 23,000
acres in 1869, and, having now a population of more than 500,000, it com-
mands general attention.
The first settler — Jean Baptiste Pointe au Sable, a mulatto from the
West Indies — came and began trade with the Indians in 1796. John
Kinzie became his successor in 1804, in which year Fort Dearborn was
erected.
A mere trading-post was kept here from that time till about the time
of the Blackhawk war, in 1832. It was not the city. It was merel}^ a
cock crowing at midnight. The morning was not yet. In 1833 the set-
tlement about the fort was incorporated as a town. The voters were
divided on the propriety of such corporation, twelve voting for it and one
against it. Four years later it was incorporated as a city, and embraced
660 acres.
The produce handled in this city is an indication of its power. Grain
and flour were imported from the East till as late as 1837. The first
exportation by way of experiment was in 1839. Exports exceeded imports
first in 1842. The Board of Trade was organized in 1848, but it was so
weak that it needed nursing till 1855. Grain was purchased by the
wagon-load in the street.
I remember sitting with my father on a load of wheat, in the long
36 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS.
line of wagons along Lake street, while the buyers came and untied the
bags, and examined the grain, and made their bids. That manner of
business had to cease with the day of small things. Now our elevators
will hold 15,000,000 bushels of grain. The cash value of the produce
handled in a year is 8215,000,000, and the produce weighs 7,000,000
tons or 700,000 car loads. This handles thirteen and a half ton each
minute, all the year round. One tenth of all the wheat in the United
States is handled in Chicago. Even as long ago as 1853 the receipts of
grain in Chicago exceeded those of the goodly city of St. Louis, and in
1854 the exjjorts of grain from Chicago exceeded those of New York and
doubled those of St. Petersburg, Archangel, or Odessa, the largest grain
markets in Europe.
The manufacturing interests of the city are not contemptible. In
1873 manufactories employed 45,000 operatives ; in 1876, 60,000. The
manufactured product in 1875 was worth $177,000,000.
No estimate of the size and power of Chicago would be adequate
that did not put large emphasis on the railroads. Before they came
thundering along our streets canals were the hope of our country. But
who ever thinks now of traveling by canal packets ? In June, 1852,
there were only forty miles of railroad connected with the city. The
old Galena division of the Northwestern ran out to Elgin. But now,
who can count the trains and measure the roads that seek a terminus or
connection in this city ? The lake stretches away to the north, gathering
in to this center all the harvests that might otherwise pass to the north
of us. If you will take a map and look at the adjustment of railroads,
you will see, first, that Chicago is the great railroad center of the world,
as New York is the commercial city of this continent ; and, second, that
the railroad lines form the iron spokes of a great wheel whose hub is
this cit3\ The lake furnishes the only break in the spokes, and this
seems simply to have pushed a few spokes together on each shore. See
the eighteen trunk lines, exclusive of eastern connections.
Pass round the circle, and view their numbers and extent. There
is the great Northwestern, with all its branches, one branch creeping
along the lake shore, and so reaching to the north, into the Lake Superior
regions, away to the right, and on to the Northern Pacific on the left,
swinging around Green Bay for iron and copper and silver, twelve months
in the year, and reaching out for the wealth of the great agricultural
belt and isothermal line traversed by the Northern Pacific. Another
branch, not so far north, feeling for the heart of the Badger State.
Another pushing lower down the Mississippi — all these make many con-
nections, and tapping all the vast wheat regions of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, and all the regions this side of sunset. There is that elegant road,
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, running out a goodly number of
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 87
branches, and reaping the great fields this side of the Missouri River.
I can only mention the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis, our Illinois Central,
described elsewhere, and the Chicago & Rock Island. Further around
we come to the lines connecting us with all the eastern cities. The
Chicago, Indianapolis & St. Louis, the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne &
Chicago, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, and the Michigan Cen-
tral and Great Western, give us many highways to the seaboard. Thus we
reach the Mississippi at five points, from St. Paul to Cairo and the Gulf
itself by two routes. We also reach Cincinnati and Baltimore, and Pitts-
burgh and Philadelphia, and New York. North and south run the water
courses of the lakes and the rivers, broken just enough at this point to
make a pass. Through this, from east to west, run the long lines that
stretch from ocean to ocean.
This is the neck of the glass, and the golden sands of commerce
must pass into our hands. Altogether we have more than 10,000 miles
of railroad, directl}^ tributary to this city, seeking to unload their wealth
in our coffers. All these roads have come themselves by the infallible
instinct of capital. Not a dollar was ever given by the city to secure
one of them, and only a small per cent, of stock taken originally by her
citizens, and that taken simply as an investment. Coming in the natural
order of events, they will not be easily diverted. .
There is still another showing to all this. The connection between
New York and San Francisco is by the middle route. This passes inevit-
ablv through Chicago. St. Louis wants the Southern Pacific or Kansas
Pacific, and pushes it out through Denver, and so on up to Cheyenne.
But before the road is fairly under way, the Chicago roads shove out to
Kansas City, making even the Kansas Pacific a feeder, and actually leav-
ing St. Louis out in the cold. It is not too much to expect that Dakota,
Montana, and Washington Territory will find their great market in Chi-
cago.
But these are not all. Perhaps I had better notice here the ten or
fifteen new roads that have just entered, or are just entering, our city.
Their names are all that is necessary to give. Chicago & St. Paul, look-
ing up the Red River country to the British possessions ; the Chicago,
Atlantic & Pacific ; the Chicago, Decatur & State Line ; the Baltimore &
Ohio; the Chicago, Danville & Vincennes; the Chicago & LaSalle Rail-
road ; the Chicago, Pittsburgh & Cincinnati ; the Chicago and Canada
Southern ; the Chicago and Illinois River Railroad. These, with their
connections, and with the new connections of the old roads, already in
process of erection, give to Chicago not less than 10,000 miles of new
tributaries from the richest land on the continent. Thus there will be
added to the reserve power, to the capital within reach of this city, not
less than $1,000,000,000.
38 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
Add to all this transporting power the ships that sail one every nine
minutes of the business hours of the season of navigation ; add, also, the
canal boats that leave one every five minutes during the same time — and
you will see something of the business of the city.
THE COMMERCE OF THIS CITY
has been leaping along to keep pace with the growth of the country
around us. In 1852, our commerce reached the hopeful sum of
120,000,000. In 1870 it reached 1100,000,000. In 1871 it was pushed
up above $450,000,000. And in 1875 it touched nearly double that.
One-half of our imported goods come directly to Chicago. Grain
enough is exported directly from our docks to the old world to employ a
semi-weekly line of steamers of 3,000 tons capacity. This branch is
not likely to be greatly developed. Even after the great Welland Canal
is completed we shall have only fourteen feet of water. The great ocean
vessels will continue to control the trade.
The banking capital of Chicago is $24,431,000. Total exchange in
1875, $659,000,000. Her wholesale business in 1875 was $294,000,000.
The rate of taxes is less than in an}'" other great city.
The schools of Chicago are unsurpassed in America. Out of a popu-
lation of 300,000 there were only 186 persons between the ages of six
and twenty-one unable to read. This is the best known record.
In 1831 the mail system was condensed into a half-breed, who went
on foot to Niles, Mich., once in two weeks, and brought back what papers
and news he could find. As late as 1846 there was often only one mail
a week. A post-ofi&ce was established in Chicago in 1833, and the post-
master nailed up old boot-legs on one side of his shop to serve as boxes
for the nabobs and literary men.
It is an interesting fact in the growth of the young city that in the
active life of the business men of that day the mail matter has grown to
a daily average of over 6,500 pounds. It speaks equally well for the
intelligence of the people and the commercial importance of the place,
that the mail matter distributed to the territory immediately tributary to
Chicago is seven times greater than that distributed to the territory
immediately tributary to St. Louis.
The improvements that have characterized the city are as startling
as the city itself. In 1831, Mark Beaubien established a ferry over the
river, and put himself under bonds to carry all the citizens free for the
privilege of charging strangers. Now there are twenty-four large bridges
and two tunnels.
In 1833 the government expended $30,000 on the harbor. Then
commenced that series of manoeuvers with the river that has made it one
HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. 39
of the world's curiosities. It used to wind around in the lower end of
the town, and make its way rippling over the sand into the lake at the
foot of Madison street. They took it up and put it down where it now
is. It was a narrow stream, so narrow that even moderately small crafts
had to go up through the willows and cat's tails to the point near Lake
street bridge, and back up one of the branches to get room enough in
which to turn around.
In 1844 the quagmires in the streets were first pontooned by plank
roads, which acted in wet weather as public squirt-guns. Keeping you
out of the mud, they compromised by squirting the mud over you. The
wooden-block pavements came to Chicago in 1857. In 1840 water was
delivered by peddlers in carts or by hand. Then a twenty-five horse-
power engine pushed it through hollow or bored logs along the streets
till 1854, when it was introduced into the houses by new works. The
first fire-engine was used in 1835, and the first steam fire-engine in 1859.
Gas was utilized for lighting the city in 1850. The Young Men's Chris-
tian Association was organized in 1858, and horse railroads carried them
to their work in 1859. The museum was opened in 1863. The alarm
telegraph adopted in 1864. The opera-house built in 1865. The city
grew from 560 acres in 1833 to 23,000 in 1869. In 1834, the taxes
amounted to $48.90, and the trustees of the town borrowed $60 more for
opening and improving streets. In 1835, the legislature authorized a loan
of $2,000, and the treasurer and street commissioners resigned rather than
plunge the town into such a gulf.
Now the city embraces 36 square miles of territory, and has 30 miles
of water front, besides the outside harbor of refuge, of 400 acres, inclosed
by a crib sea-wall. One-third of the city has been raised up an average
of eight feet, giving good pitch to the 263 miles of sewerage. The water
of the city is above all competition. It is received through two tunnels
extending to a crib in the lake two miles from shore. The closest analy-
sis fails to detect any impurities, and, received 35 feet below the surface,
it is always clear and cold. The first tunnel is five feet two inches in
diameter and two miles long, and can deliver 50,000,000 of gallons per
day. The second tunnel is seven feet in diameter and six miles long,
running four miles under the city, and can deliver 100,000,000 of gal-
lons per day. This water is distributed through 410 miles of water-
mains.
The three grand engineering exploits of the city are : First, lifting
the city up on jack-screws, whole squares at a time, without interrupting
the business, thus giving us good drainage ; second, running the tunnels
under the lake, giving us the best water in the world ; and third, the
turning the current of the river in its own channel, delivering us from the
old abominations, and making decency possible. They redound about
40 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
equally to the creclii of the engineering, to the energy of the people, and
to the health of the city.
That which really constitutes the city, its indescribable spirit, its soul,
the way it lights ^ip in every feature in the hour of action, has not been
touched. In meeting strangers, one is often surprised how some homely
women marry so well. Their forms are bad, their gait uneven and awk-
ward, their complexion is dull, their features are misshapen and mismatch-
ed, and when we see them there is no beauty that we should desire them.
But when once they are aroused on some subject, the}' put on new pro-
portions. They light up into great power. The real person comes out
from its unseemly ambush, and captures us at will. They have power.
They have ability to cause things to come to pass. We no longer wonder
why they are in such high demand. So it is with our city.
There is no grand scenery except the two seas, one of water, the
other of prairie. Nevertheless, there is a spirit about it, a push, a breadth,
a power, that soon makes it a place never to be forsaken. One soon
ceases to believe in impossibilities. Balaams are the only prophets that are
disappointed. The bottom that has been on the point of falling out has
been there so long that it has grown fast. It can not fall out. It has all
the capital of the world itching to get inside the corporation.
The two great laws that govern the growth and size of cities are,
first, the amount of territory for which they are the distributing and
receiving points ; second, the number of medium or moderate dealers that
do this distributing. Monopolists build up themselves, not the cities.
They neither eat, wear, nor live in proportion to their business. Both
these laws help Chicago.
The tide of trade is eastward — not up or down the map, but across
the map. The lake runs up a wingdam for 500 miles to gather in the
business. Commerce can not ferry up there for seven months in the year,
and the facilities for seven months can do the work for twelve. Then the
great region west of us is nearly all good, productive land. Dropping
south into the trail of St. Louis, you fall into vast deserts and rocky dis-
tricts, useful in holding the world together. St. Louis and Cincinnati,
instead of rivaling and hurting Chicago, are her greatest sureties of
dominion. They are far enough away to give sea-room, — farther off than
Paris is from London, — and yet they are near enough to prevent the
springing up of any other great city between them.
St. Louis will be helped by the opening of the Mississippi, but also
hurt. That will put New Orleans on her feet, and with a railroad running
over into Texas and so West, she will tap the streams that now crawl up
the Texas and Missouri road. The current is East, not North, and a sea-
port at New Orleans can not permanently help St. Louis.
Chicago is in the field almost alone, to handle the wealth of one-
HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 41
fourth of the territory of this great republic. This strip of seacoast
divides its margins between Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelpliia,
Baltimore and Savannah, or some other great port to be created for the
South in the next decade. But Chicago has a dozen einjpires casting their
treasures into her lap. On a bed of coal that can run all the machinery
of the world for 500 centuries ; in a garden that can feed the race by the
thousand years; at the head of the lakes that give her a temperature as a
summer resort equaled by no great city in the land ; with a climate that
insures the health of her citizens ; surrounded by all the great deposits
of natural wealth in mines and forests and herds, Chicago is the wonder
of to-day, and will be the city of the future.
MASSACRE AT FORT DEARBORN.
During the war of 1812, Fort Dearborn became the theater of stirring
events. The garrison consisted of fifty-four men under command of
Captain Nathan Heald, assisted by Lieutenant Helm (son-in-law of Mrs.
Kinzie) and Ensign Ronan. Dr. Voorhees was surgeon. The only resi-
dents at the post at that time were the wives of Captain Heald and Lieu-
tenant Helm, and a few of the soldiers, Mr. Kinzie and his family, and
a few Canadian voyageurs, with their wives and children. The soldiers
and Mr. Kinzie were on most friendly terms with the Pottawattamies
and Winnebagos, the principal tribes around them, but they could not
win them from their attachment to the British.
One evening in April, 1812, Mr. Kinzie sat playing on his violin and
his children were dancino: to the music, when Mrs. Kinzie came rushingr
into the house, pale with terror, and exclaiming: "The Indians! the
Indians!" "What? Where?" eagerly inquired Mr. Kinzie. "Up
at Lee's, killing and scalping," answered the frightened mother, who,
when the alarm was given, was attending Mrs. Barnes (just confined)
living not far off. Mr. Kinzie and his family crossed the river and took
refuge in the fort, to which place Mrs. Barnes and her infant not a day
old were safely conveyed. The rest of the inhabitants took shelter in the
fort. This alarm was caused by a scalping party of Winnebagos, who
hovered about the fort several days, when they disappeared, and for several
weeks the inhabitants were undisturbed.
On the 7th of August, 1812, General Hull, at Detroit, sent orders to
Captain Heald to evacuate Fort Dearborn, and to distribute all the United
States property to the Indians in the neighborhood — a most insane order.
The Pottawattamie chief, who brought the dispatch, had more wisdom
than the commanding general. He advised Captain Heald not to make
the distribution. Said he : " Leave the fort and stores as they are, and
let the Indians make distribution for themselves ; and while they are
engaged in the business, the white people may escape to Fort Wayne."
42 HISTORY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS.
Captain Heald held a council with the Indians on the afternoon of
the 12th, in which his ofi&cers refused to join, for they had been informed
that treachery was designed — ^that the Indians intended to murder the
white people in the council, and then destroy those in the fort. Captain
Heald, however, took the precaution to open a port-hole displaying a
cannon pointing directly upon the council, and by that means saved
his life.
Mr. Kinzie, who knew the Indians well, begged Captain Heald not
to confide in their promises, nor distribute the arms and munitions among
them, for it would only put power into their hands to destroy the whites.
Acting upon this advice, Heald resolved to withhold the munitions of
war ; and on the night of the 13th, after the distribution of the other
property had been made, the powder, ball and liquors were thrown into
the river, the muskets broken up and destroyed.
Black Partridge, a friendly chief, came to Captain Heald, and said :
" Linden birds have been singing in my ears to-day: be careful on the
march you are going to take." On that dark night vigilant Indians had
crept near the fort and discovered the destruction of their promised booty
going on within. The next morning the powder was seen floating on the
surface of the river. The savages were exasperated and made loud com-
plaints and threats.
On the following day when preparations were making to leave the
fort, and all the inmates were deeply impressed with a sense of impend-
ing danger, Capt. Wells, an uncle of Mrs. Heald, was discovered upon
the Indian trail among the sand-hills on the borders of the lake, not far
distant, with a band of motinted Miamis, of whose tribe he vyas chief,
having been adopted by the famous Miami warrior. Little Turtle. When
news of Hull's surrender reached Fort Wayne, he had started with this
force to assist Heald in defending Fort Dearborn. He was too late.
Every means for its defense had been destroyed the night before, and
arrangements were made for leaving the fort on the morning of the loth.
It was a warm bright morning in the middle of August. Indications
were positive that the savages intended to murder the white people ; and
when they moved out of the southern gate of the fort, the march was
like a funeral procession. The band, feeling the solemnity of the occa^
sion, struck up the Dead March in Saul.
Capt. Wells, who had blackened his face with gun-powder in token
of his fate, took the lead with his band of Miamis, followed by Capt.
Heald, with his wife by his side on horseback. Mr. Kinzie hoped by his
personal influence to avert the impending blow, and therefore accompanied
them, leaving his family in a boat in charge of a friendly Indian, to be
taken to his trading station at the site of Niles, Michigan, in the event of
his death.
HISTOBY OF THE STATE OP ILLINOIS. 43
The procession moved slowly along the lake shore till they reached
the sand-hills between the prairie and the beach, wJieu the Pottawattamie
escort, under the leadership of Blackbird, filed to the right, placing those
hills between them and the white people. Wells, with his Miarais, had
kept in the advance. They suddenly came rushing back, Wells exclaim-
ing, " They are about to attack us ; form instantly." These words were
quickly followed by a storm of bullets, which came whistling over the
little hills wiiich the treacherous savages had made the covert for their
murderous attack. The white troops charged upon the Indians, drove
them back to the prairie, and then the battle was waged between fifty-
four soldiers, twelve civilians and three or four women (the cowardly
Miamis having fled at the outset) against five hundred Indian warriors.
The white people, hopeless, resolved to sell their lives as dearly as possible.
Ensign Ronan wielded his weapon vigorously, even after falling upon his
knees weak from the loss of blood. Capt. Wells, who was bj' the side of
his niece, Mrs. Heald, when the conflict began, behaved with the greatest
coolness and courage. He said to her, " We have not the slightest chance
for life. We must part to meet no more in this world. God bless 3''0u."
And then he dashed forward. Seeing a 3'oung warrior, painted like a
demon, climb into a wagon in which were twelve children, and tomahawk
them all, he cried out, unmindful of his personal danger, " If that is your
game, butchering women and children, I will kill too." He spurred his
horse towards the Indian camp, where they had left their squaws and
papooses, hotly pursued by swift-footed young warriors, who sent bullets
whistling after him. One of these killed his horse and wounded him
severely in the leg. With a yell the young braves rushed to make him
their prisoner and reserve him for torture. He resolved not to be made
a captive, and b}' the use of the most provoking epithets tried to induce
them to kill him instantly. He called a fiery young chief a squmv, when
the enraged warrior killed Wells instantly with his tomahawk, jumped
upon his body, cut out his heart, and ate a portion of the warm morsel
with savage delight !
In this fearful combat women bore a conspicuous part. Mrs. Heald
was an excellent equestrian and an expert in the use of the rifle. She
fought the savages bravely, receiving several severe wounds. Though
faiht from the loss of blood, she managed to keep her saddle. A savage
raised his tomahawk to kill her, when she looked him full in the face,
and with a sweet smile and in a gentle voice said, in his own language,
" Surely you will not kill a squaw ! " The arm of the savage fell, and
the life of the heroic woman was saved.
Mrs. Helm, the step-daughter of Mr. Kinzie, had an encounter with
a stout Indian, who attempted to tomahawk her. Springing to one side,
she received the glancing blow on her shoulder, and at the same instant
44 HISTOKY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
seized the savage round the ueck with her arms and endeavored to get
hold of his scalping knife, which hung in a sheath at his breast. While
she was thus struggling she was dragged from her antagonist by anotlier
Ijowerful Indian, who bore her, in spite of her struggles, to the margin
of the lake and plunged her in. To her astonishment she was held by
him so that she would not drown, and she soon perceived that she was
in the hands of the friendly Black Partridge, who had saved her life.
The wife of Sergeant Holt, a large and powerful woman, behaved as
bravely as an Amazon. She rode a fine, high-spirited horse, which the
Indians coveted, and several of them attacked her with the butts of their
guns, for the purpose of dismounting her ; â– but she used the sword which
she had snatched from her disabled husband so skillfully that she foiled
them ; and, suddenly wheeling her horse, she dashed over the prairie,
followed by the savages shouting, " The brave woman ! the brave woman !
Don't hurt her ! " They finally overtook her, and while she was fighting
them in front, a powerful savage came up behind her, seized her by tlie
neck and dragged her to the ground. Horse and woman were made
captives. Mrs. Holt was a long time a captive among the Indians, but
was afterwards ransomed.
In this sharp conflict two-thirds of the white people were slain and
wounded, and all their horses, baggage and -provision were lost. Only
twenty-eight straggling men now remained to fight five hundred Indians
rendered furious b}'^ the sight of blood. They succeeded in breaking
through the ranks of the murderers and gaining a slight eminence on the
prairie near the Oak Woods. The Indians did not pursue, but gathered
on their flanks, while the chiefs held a consultation on the sand-hills, and
showed signs of willingness to parley. It would have been madness on
the part of the whites to renew the fight; and so Capt. Heald went for-
ward and met Blackbird on the open prairie, where terms of surrender
were soon agreed upon. It was arranged that the white people should
give up their arms to Blackbird, and that the survivors should become
prisoners of war, to be exchanged for ransoms as soon as practicable.
With this understanding captives and captors started for the Indian
camp near the fort, to which Mrs. Helm had been taken bleeding and
suffering by Black Partridge, and had met her step-father and learned
that her husband was safe.
A new scene of horror was now opened at the Indian camp. The
wounded, not being included in the terms of surrender, as it was inter-
preted by the Indians, and the British general. Proctor, having offered a
liberal bounty for American scalps, delivered at Maiden, nearly all the
wounded men were killed and scalped, and the price of the trophies was
afterwards paid by the Britisli government.

notice, except fraud ivas used in obtaining the same. To hold an indorser,
due diligence must be used by suit, in collecting of the maker, unless suit
would have been unavailing. Notes payable to person named or to order,
in order to absolutely transfer title, must be indorsed by the payee. Notes
payable to bearer may be transferred by delivery, and when so payable
every indorser thereon is held as a guarantor of payment unless otherwise

to prevent all rank growth of vegetation on the public highways, so far
as the same may obstruct public travel, and it is in their discretion to
erect watering places for public use for watering teams at such points
as may be deemed advisable. Every able-bodied male inhabitant, being

paupers, idiots, lunatics, trustees of schools and school directors, and such
others as are exempt by law, is required to labor on highways in their
respective road districts, not less than one or more than three days in

improvement of streets, roads and bridges within their Umits. Commis-
sioners' compensation -$1.50 per day. The Treasurer, who is one of their
number, is entitled to 2 per cent, on all moneys he may receive and pay
out.
Overseers. Their duties are to repair and keep in order the high-
ways in their districts ; to warn persons to work out their road tax at
such time and place as they think proper ; to collect fines and commuta-
tion money, and execute all lawful orders of the Commissioners of High-

As all township and county officers are familiar with their duties, it
is only intended to give the points of the law that the public should be
familiar with. The manner of laying out, altering or vacating roads, etc.,
will not be here stated, as it would require more space than is contem-
plated in a work of this kind. It is sufficient to state that, the first step
is by petition, addressed to the Commissioners, setting out what is prayed
for, giving the names of the owners of lands if known, if not known so
state, over which the road is to pass, giving the general course, its place
of beginning, and where it terminates. It requires not less than twelve
freeholders residing within three miles of the road who shall sign the
petition. Public roads must not be less than fifty feet wide, nor more
than sixty feet wide. Roads not exceeding two miles in length, if peti-
tioned for, may be laid out, not less than forty feet. Private roads
for private and public use, may be laid out of the width of three rods, on
petition of the person directly interested ; the damage occasioned thereby
shall be paid by the premises benefited thereby, and before the road is
opened. If not opened in two years, the order shall be considered
rescinded. Commissioners in their discretion may permit persons who
live on or have private roads, to work out their road tax thereon. Public
roads must be opened in five days from date of filing order of location,
or be deemed vacated.

a drain or ditch across the land of others for agricultural or sanitary pur-
poses, the proceedings are as follows :

necessary for successful drainage that a levee or other work be constructed,
a general description of the same shall be made.
2d. After filing^ tioo weeks'' notice must be given by posting notices
in three of the most public places in such township through which the
drain, ditch or other work is proposed to be constructed ; and also, by
publishing a copy thereof in some newspaper published in the county in
which petition is filed, at least once each week for two successive weeks.
The notice must state when and before what board such petition is filed,
the starting point, route, terminus and description of the proposed work.
On receipt of the petition by the clerk of either board as before men-
tioned, it is his duty to immediately give notice to the board of which he
is clerk, of the fact, and that a meeting of the board will be held on a day
to be fixed not later than sixty days after the filing of said petition, to
consider the prayer of the same ; and it is further the duty of the clerk,
to publish a notice of the filing of the petition and the meeting of the
board to consider it, by posting the same in the three most public places
in the township or county. On the hearing, all parties may contest the
matter, and if it shall appear to the board that the work contemplated is
necessary, or is useful for the drainage of the land for agricultural and
sanitary purposes, they shall so find and shall file their petition in the
County Court, reciting the original petition and stating their finding, and
pray that the costs of the improvement be assessed, and for that purpose
three commissioners be appointed to lay out and construct the work. The
costs of the hearing before the town board is to be paid by the petitioners.
After commissioners are appointed, they organize and proceed to examine
the work ; and if they find the benefits greater than the cost and expense
of the work, then it is their duty to have the surveyor's plans and speci-
fications made, and when done report the same to the court, before which
parties can be heard prior to confirmation. The commissioners are not
confined to the route or plan of the petition, but may change the same.
After report of commissioners is confirmed, then a jury assess the damages
and benefits against the land damaged or benefited.
As it is only contemplated in a work of this kind to give an abstract
of the laws, and as the parties who have in charge the execution of the
further proceedings are likely to be familiar with the requirements of the
statute, the necessary details are not here inserted.
PAUPERS.
Every poor person who shall be unable to earn a livelihood in conse-
quence of any bodily infirmity, idiocy, lunacy or unavoidable cause, shall
be supported by the father, grand-father, mother, grand-mother, children,
grand-children, brothers or sisters of such poor person, if they or either
ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 69
of them be of sufficient ability ; but if any of such dependent class shall
have become so from intemperance^ or other had conduct^ they shall not be
entitled to support from any relation except parent or child.
The children shall first be called on to support their parents, if they
are able ; but if not, the parents of such poor person shall tlien be called
on, if of sufficient ability; and if there be no parents or cliildren able,
then the brothers and sisters of such dependent person shall be called
upon ; and if there be no brothers or sisters of sufficient ability, the
grand-children of such person shall next be called on ; and if they are
not able, then the grand-parents. Married females, while their husbands
live, shall not be liable to contribute for the support of their poor relations
except out of their separate property. It is the duty of the state's
(county) attorney, to make complaint to the County Court of his county
against all the relatives of such paupers in this state liable to his support
and prosecute the same. In case the state's attorney neglects, or refuses, to
complain in such cases, then it is the duty of the overseer of the poor to
do so. The person called upon to contribute shall have at least ten days'
notice of such application by summons. The court has the power to
determine the kind of support, depending upon the circumstances of the
parties, and may also order two or more of the different degrees to main-
tain such poor person, and prescribe the proportion of each, according to
their ability. The court may specify the time for which the relative shall
contribute — in fact has control over the entire subject matter, with power
to enforce its orders. Every county (except those in which the poor are
supported by the towns, and in such cases the towns are liable) is required
to relieve and support all poor and indigent persons laivfully resident
therein. Residence means the actual residence of the party, or the place
where he was employed ; or in case he was in no employment, then it
shall be the place where he made his home. When any person becomes
chargeable as a pauper in any county or town who did not reside at the
commencement of six months immediately preceding his becoming so,
but did at that time reside in some other county or town in this state,
then the county or town, as the case may be, becomes liable for the expense
of taking care of such person until removed, and it is the duty of the
overseer to notify the proper authorities of the fact. If any person shall
bring and leave any pauper in any county in this state where such pauper
had no legal residence, knowing him to be such, he is liable to a fine of
f 100. In counties under township organization, the supervisors in each
town are ex-officio overseers of the poor. The overseers of the poor act
under the directions of the County Board in taking care of the poor and
granting of temporary relief; also, providing for non-resident persons not
' paupers who may be taken sick and not able to pay their way, and in case
^ of death cause such person to be decently buried.
60 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS.
FENCES.
In counties under township organization, the town assessor and com-
missioner of highways are the fence-viewers in their respective towns.
In other counties the County Board appoints three in each precinct annu-
ally. A lawful fp.nce is four and one-half feet high, in good repair, con-
sisting of rails, timber, boards, stone, hedges, or whatever the fence-
viewers of the town or precinct where the same shall lie, shall consider
equivalent thereto, but in counties under township organization the annual
town meeting may establish any other kind of fence as such, or the County
BoA,rd in other counties may do the same. Division fences shall be made
and maintained in just proportion by the adjoining owners, except when
the owner shall choose to let his land lie open, but after a division fence is
built by agreement or otherwise, neither party can remove his part of such
fence so long as he may crop or use such land for farm purposes, or without
giving the other party one year's notice in writing of his intention to remove
his portion. When any person shall enclose his land upon the enclosure
of another, he shall refund the owner of the adjoining lands a just pro-
portion of the value at that time of such fence. The value of fence and
the just proportion to be paid or built and maintained by each is to be
ascertained by two fence-viewers in the town or precinct. Such fence-
viewers have power to settle all disputes between different owners as to
fences built or to be built, as well as to repairs to be made. Each party
chooses one of the viewers, but if the other party neglects, after eight
days' notice in writing, to make his choice, then the other party may
select both. It is sufficient to notify the tenant or party in possession,
when the owner is not a resident of the town or precinct. The two
fence-viewers chosen, after viewing the premises, shall hear the state-
ments of the parties , in case they can't agree, they shall select another
fence-viewer to act with them, and the decision of any two of them is
final. The decision must be reduced to writing, and should plainly set
out description of fence and all matters settled by them, and must be
filed in the office of the town clerk in counties under township organiza-
tion, and in other counties with the county clerk.
Where any person is liable to contribute to the erection or the
repairing of a division fence, neglects or refuses so to do, the party
injured, after giving sixty days notice in writing when a fence is to be
erected, or ten days when it is only repairs, may proceed to have the
work done at the expense of the party whose duty it is to do it, to be
recovered from him with costs of suit, and the party so neglecting shall
also be liable to the party injured for all damages accruing from such
neglect or refusal, to be determined by any two fence-viewers selected
as before provided, the appraisement to be reduced to writing and signed.

ABSTllACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 61
Where a person shall conclude to remove his part of a division fence,
and let his land lie open, and having given the year's notice required, the
adjoining owner may cause the value of said fence to be ascertained b}-
fence-viewers as before provided, and on payment or tender of the
amount of such valuation to the owner, it shall prevent the removal. A
party removing a division fence without notice is liable for the damages
accruing thereby.
AVhere a fence has been built on the land of another through mis-
take, the owner may enter upon such premises and remove his fence and
material within six months after the division line has been ascertained.
Where the material to build such a fence has been taken from the land
on which it was built, then before it can be removed, the person claiming
must first pay for such material to the owner of the land from which it
was taken, nor shall such a fence be removed at a time when the removal
will throw open or expose the crops of the other party ; a reasonable
time must be given beyond the .six months to remove crops.
The compensation of fence-viewers is one dollar and fifty cents a
day each, to be paid in the first instance by the party calling them, but
in the end all expenses, including amount charged by the fence-viewers,
must be paid equally b}'^ the parties, except in cases where a party neglects
or refuses to make or maintain a just proportion of a division fence, when
the party in default shall pay them.
DAMAGES FROM TRESPASS.
Where stock of any kind breaks into any person's enclosure, the
fence being good and sufficient, the owner is liable for the damage done ;
but where the damage is done by stock running at large, contrary to law,
the owner is liable where there is not such a fence. Where stock is
found trespassing on the enclosure of another as aforesaid, the owner oi
occupier of the premises may take possession of such stock and keep the
same until damages, with reasonable charges for keeping and feeding and
all costs of suit, are paid. Any person taking or rescuing such stock so
held without his consent, shall be liable to a fine of not less than three
nor more than five dollars for each animal rescued, to be recovered by
suit before a justice of the peace for the use of the school fund. Within
twenty-four hours after taking such animal into his possession, the per-
son taking it up must give notice of the fact to the owner, if known, or
if unknown, notices must be posted in some public place near the premises.
LANDLORD AND TENANT.
The owner of lands, or his legal representatives, can sue for and
recover rent therefor, in any of the following cases :
First. When rent is due and in arrears on a lease for life or lives,
5
62 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS.
Second. When lands are held and occupied by any person without
any special agreement for rent.
Third. When possession is obtained under an agreement, written
or verbal, for the purchase of the premises and before deed given, the
right to possession is terminated by forfeiture on con-compliance with the
agreement, and possession is wrongfully refused or neglected to be given
upon demand made in writing by the party entitled thereto. Provided
that all payments made by the vendee or his representatives or assigns,
may be set off against the rent.
Fourth. When land has been sold upon a judgment or a decree of
court, when the party to such judgment or decree, or person holding under
him, wrongfully refuses, or neglects, to surrender possession of the same,
after demand in writing by the person entitled to the possession.
Fifth. When the lands have been sold upon a mortgage or trust
deed, and the mortgagor or grantor or person holding under him, wrong-
fully refuses or neglects to surrender possession of the same, after demand
in writing by the person entitled to the possession.
If any tenant, or any person who shall come into possession from or
under or by collusion with such tenant, shall willfully hold over any lands,
etc., after the expiration the term of their lease, and after demand made
in writing for the possession thereof, is liable to pay double rent. A
tenancy from year to year requires sixty days notice in writing, to termi-
nate the same at the end of the year ; such notice can be given at any
time within four months preceding the last sixty days of the year.
A tenancy by the month, or less than a year, where the tenant holds
over without an}' special agreement, the landlord may terminate the
tenancy, by thirty days notice in writing.
When rent is due, the landlord may serve a notice upon the tenant,
stating that unless the rent is paid within not less than five days, his lease
will be terminated ; if the rent is not paid, the landlord may consider the
lease ended. When default is made in any of the terms of a lease, it
shall not be necessary to give more than ten days notice to quit or of the
termination of such tenancy ; and the same may be terminated on giving
such notice to quit, at any time after such default in any of the terms of
such lease ; which notice may be substantially in the following form, viz:
To , You are hereby notified that, in consequence of your default
in (here insert the character of the default), of the premises now occupied
by you, being etc. (here describe the premises), I have elected to deter-
mine your lease, and you are hereby notified to quit and deliver up pos-
session of the same to me within ten days of this date (dated, etc.)
The above to be signed by the lessor or his agent, and no other notice
or demand of possession or termination of such tenancy is necessary.
Demand may be made, or notice served, by delivering a written or
ABSTRACT OF ILLESTOIS STATE LAWS. 63
printed, or partly either, copy thereof to the tenant, or leaving the same
with some person above the age of twelve years residing on or in posses-
sion of the premises ; and in ease no one is in the actual possession of the
said premises, then by posting the same on the premises. When the
tenancy is for a certain time, and the term expu-es by the terms of the
lease, the tenant is then bound to surrender possession, and no notice
to quit or demand of possession is necessary.
Distress for rent. — In all cases of distress for rent, the landlord, by
himself, his agent or attorney, may seize for rent any personal property of
his tenant that may be found in the county where the tenant resides ; the
property of any other person, even if found on the premises, is not
liable.
An inventor}^ of the property levied upon, with a statement of the
amount of rent claimed, should be at once filed with some justice of the
peace, if not over $200 ; and if above that sum, with the clerk of a court
of record of competent jurisdiction. Property may be released, by the
party executing a satisfactory bond for double the amount.
The landlord ma}^ distrain for rent, any time within six months after
the expiration of the term of the lease, or when terminated.
When rent is payable wholly or in part, in specific articles of pro-
perty, or products of the premises, or labor, the landlord may distrain for
the value of the same.
Landlords have a lien upon the crops grown or growing upon the
demised premises for the rent thereof, and also for the faithful performance
of the terms of the lease.
In all cases where the premises rented shall be sub-let, or the lease
assigned, the landlord shall have the same right to enforce lien against
such lessee or assignee, that he has against the tenant to whom the pre-
mises were rented.
When a tenant abandons or removes from the premises or any part
thereof, the landlord, or his agent or attorney, may seize upon any grain
or other crops grown or growing upon the premises, or part thereof so
abandoned, whether the rent is due or not. If such grain, or other crops,
or any part thereof, is not fully grown or matured, the landlord, or his
agent or attorney, shall cause the same to be properly cultivated, harvested
or gathered, and may sell the same, and from the proceeds pay all his
labor, expenses and rent. The tenant may, before the sale of such pro-
perty, redeem the same by tendering the rent and reasonable compensation
for work done, or he may replevy the same.
Exemption. — The same articles of personal property which are bylaw
exempt from execution, except the crops as above stated, is also exempt
from distress for rent.
64 ABSTRACT OF ILLINOIS STATE LAWS.
LIENS.
Any person who shall by contract^ express or implied, or partly both,
with the owner of any lot or tract of land, furnish labor or material, or
services as an architect or superintendent, in building, altering, repairing
or ornamenting any house or other building or appurtenance thereto on
such lot, or upon any street or alley, and connected with such improve-
ments, shall have a lien upon the whole of such lot or tract of land, and
upon such house or building and appurtenances, for the amount due to
him for such labor, material or services. If the contract is expressed, and
the time for the completion of the work is beyond three years from the com-
mencement thereof; or, if the time of payment is beyond one year from
the time stipulated for the completion of the work, then no lien exists.
If the contract is implied, then no lien exists, unless the work be done or
material is furnished within one year from the commencement of the work
or delivery of the materials. As between different creditors having liens,
no preference is given to the one whose contract was first made ; but each
shares pro-rata. Incumbrances existing on the lot or tract of the land at
the t4me the contract is made, do not operate on the improvements, and
are only preferred to the extent of the value of the land at the time of
making the contract. The above lien can not be enforced unless suit is
commenced within six months after the last payment for labor or materials
shall have become due and payable. Sub-contractors, mechanics, workmen
and other persons furnishing any material, or performing any labor for a
contractor as before specified, have a lien to the extent of the amount due
the contractor at the time the following notice is served upon the owner
of the land who made the contract :
To , You are hereby notified, that I have been employed by-
(here state whether to labor or furnish material, and substantially the
nature of the demand) upon your (here state in general terms description
and situation of building), and that I shall hold the (building, or as the
case may be), and your interest in the ground, liable for the amount that
may (is or may become) due me on account thereof. Signature,
Date,
If there is a contract in writing between contractor and sub-contractor,
a copy of it should be served with above notice, and said notice must be
served within forty days from the completion of such sub-contract, if there
is one ; if not, then from the time payment should have been made to the
person performing the labor or furnishing the material. If the owner is
not a resident of the county, or can not be found therein, then the above
notice must be filed with the clerk of the Circuit Court, with his fee, fifty
cents, and a copy of said notice must be published in a newspaper pub-
lished iu the county, for four successive weeks.
ABSTRACT OF rLLINOIS STATE LAWS. 65
When the owner or agent is notified as above, he can retain any
money due the contractor sufficient to pay such claim ; if more than one
claim, and not enough to pay all, they are to be paid pro rata.
The owner has the right to demand in writing, a statement of the
contractor, of what he owes for labor, etc., from time to time as the work
progresses, and on his failure to comply, forfeits to the owner $50 for
every offense.
The liens referred to cover any and all estates, whether in fee for
life, for years, or any other interest which the owner may have.
To enforce the lien of sub-contractors, suit must be commenced within
three months from the time of the performance of the sub-contract, or
during the work or furnishing materials.
Hotel, inn and boarding-house keepers, have a lien upon the baggage
and other valuables of their guests or boarders, brought into such hotel,
inn or boarding-house, by their guests or boarders, for the proper charges
due from such guests or boarders for their accommodation, board and
lodgings, and such extras as are furnished at their request.
Stable-keepers and other persons have a lien upon the horses, car-
riages and harness kept by them, for the proper charges due for the keep-
ing thereof and expenses bestowed thereon at the request of the owner
or the person having the possession of the same.
Agisters (persons who take care of cattle belonging to others), and
persons keeping, yarding, feeding or pasturing domestic animals, shall
have a lien upon the animals agistered, kept, yarded or fed, for the proper
charges due for such service.

with fuel, ties, material, supplies or any other article or thing necessary
for the construction, maintenance, operation or repair of its road by con-
tract, or may perform work or labor on the same, is entitled to be paid as
part of the current expenses of the road, and have a lien upon all its pro-
perty. Sub-contractors or laborers have also a lien. The conditions and
limitations both as to contractors and sub-contractors, are about the same
as herein stated as to general liens.

placed before any denomination of money, and meant, as it means now,
United States Currency.
X means pounds, English money.
@ stands for at or to. lb {ov pound, and bbl. for barrel; "^ for per or

means that the person who sells the wheat has the privilege of delivering
it at any time during the month of June.
Selling short, is contracting to deliver a certain amount of grain or
stock, at a fixed price, within a certain length of time, when the seller
has not the stock on hand. It is for the interest of the person selling
"short," to depress the market as much as possible, in order that he may-
buy and fill his contract at a profit. Hence the " shorts " are termed
" bears."
Buying long, is to contract to purchase a certain amount of grain or
shares of stock at a fixed price, deliverable within a stipulated time,
expecting to make a profit by the rise of prices. The "longs" are
termed "bulls," as it is for their interest to " operate " so as to "toss"
the prices upward as much as possible.

standings and trouble. No particular form is necessary, but the facts must
be clearly and explicitly stated, and there must, to make it valid, be a
reasonable consideration.

ation to convey his right and interest in the personal property. The

CHATTEL MORTGAGES.
A chattel mortgage is a mortgage on personal property for payment
of a certain sum of money, to hold the property against debts of other

The term of office of the trustees and the general government of the
society can be determined by the rules or by-laws adopted. Failure to
elect trustees at the time provided does not work a dissolution, but the
old trustees hold over. A trustee or trustees may be removed, in the
same manner by the society as elections are held by a meeting called for
that purpose. The property of the society vests in the corporation. The
corporation may hold, or acquire by purchase or otherwise, land not
exceeding ten acres, for the purpose of the society. The trustees have
the care, custody and control of the property of the corporation, and can,
when directed by the society, erect houses or improvements, and repair
and alter the same, and may also when so directed by the society,
mortgage, encumber, sell and convey any real or personal estate belonging
to the corporation, and make all proper contracts in the name of such
corporation. But the}'' are prohibited by law from encumbering or inter-
fering with any property so as to destroy the effect of any gift, grant,
devise or bequest to the corporation ; but such gifts, grants, devises or
bequests, must in all cases be used so as to carry out the object intended
by the persons making the same. Existing societies may organize in the
manner herein set forth, and have all the advantages thereof.
SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE PURCHASING BOOKS BY SUBSCRIPTION.
The business of publishing boojcs hy subscription having so often been
brought into disrepute by agents making representations and declarations
not authorized by the publisher ; in order to prevent that as much as possi-
ble, and that there may be more general knowledge of the relation such
agents bear to their principal, and the law governing such cases, the fol-
lowing statement is made :
A subscription is in the nature of a contract of mutual promises, by
which the subscriber agrees to pay a certain sum for the work described ;
the consideration is concurrent that the publisher shall publish the book
named, and deliver the same, for which the subscriber is to pay the price
named. The nature and character of the work is described in the prospectus
and by the sample shoivn. These should be carefully examiyied before sub-
scribing, as they are the basis and consideration of the promise to pay,
ABSTRACT O ILLINOIS STATE LAWS. 81
and not the too often exaggerated statements of the agents who is merely
employed to solicit subscriptions, for which he is usually paid a commission
for each subscriber, and has no authority to change or alter the conditions
upon which the subscriptions are authorized to be made by the publisher.
Should the agent assume to agree to make the subscription conditional or
modify or change the agreement of the publisher, as set out by prospectus
and sample, in order to bind the principal, the subscriber should see that
such conditions or changes are stated over or in connection with his signa-
ture, so that the publisher may have notice of the same.
All persons making contracts in reference to matters of this kind, or
any other business, should remember that the law as to written contracts is,
that they can not be varied, altered or rescinded verbally, but if done at all,
must be done in writing. It is therefore important that all persons contem-
plating subscribing should distinctly understand that all talk before or after
the subscription is made, is not admissible as evidence, and is no part of the
contract.
Persons employed to solicit subscriptions are known to the trade as
canvassers. They are agents appointed to do a particular business in a
prescribed mode, and have no authority to do it in any other way to the
prejudice of their principal, nor can they bind their principal in any other
matter. They cannot collect money, or agree that payment may be made
in anything else but money. They can not extend the time of payment
beyond the time of delivery, nor bind their principal for the payment of
expenses incurred in their buisness.
It would save a great deal of trouble, and often serious loss, if persons,
before signing their names to any subscription book, or any written instru-
ment, would examine carefully -what it is ; if they can not read themselves,
should call on some one disinterested who can.

INTEREST TABLE.
A Simple Rule for Accurately Computl\g Interest at Any Given Per Cent, for
Any Length of Time.
Multiply the primipal (amount of money at interest) by the time reduced to day<: ' then
divide this prodiut by the quotient obtained by dividing 360 (the i.u.nber of days in the interest
year) by the ptr cent, of interest, and the quotient thus obtained will be the required interest.
illustration.
Require the interest of $462.50 for one month and eighteen days at
6 per cent. An interest month is 30 days ; one month and eighteen days
equal 48 days. $462.50 multiplied by .48 gives 222,0000; 360 divided
by 6 (the per cent, of interest) gives 60, and $222.0000 divided by 60
will give you the exact interest, which is $3.70. If the rate of interest
in the above example were 12 pc:r cent., we would divide the $222.0000
by 30 (because 360 divided by 12 gives 30) ; if 4 per cent., we would
divide by 90 ; if 8 per cent., by 45 ; and in like manner for any other
per cent.

Section 1. All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in
a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and
House of Representatives.
Sec. 2. The House of Representatives shall be composed of mem-
bers chosen every second year by the people of the several states, and the
electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of
the most numerous branch of the State Legislature.
No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to the
age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United
States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in
which he shall be chosen.
Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the sev-
eral states which may be included within this Union, according to their
respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole
number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of
years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons.
The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first
meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subse-
quent term of ten years, in such manner as they shall by law direct. The
number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty thousand,
but each state shall have at least one Representative ; and until such
enumeration shall be made the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled
to choose three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode Island and Providence Plan-
tations one, Connecticut five. New York six, New Jersey four, Pennsjdva-
nia eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten. North Carolina five,
and Georgia three.
When vacancies happen in the representation from any state, the
Executive authority thereof shall issue writs of election to fill such
vacancies.
The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other
officers, and shall have the sole power of impeachment.
Sec. 8. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two
Senators from each state, chosen by the Legislature thereof for six years ;
and each Senator shall have one vote.
Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first

year, and of the third class at the expiration of the sixth year, so that
one-third may be chosen every second year; and if vacancies happen by
resignation or otherwise, during the recess of the Legislature of any state,
the Executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next
meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies.
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age
of thirty years and been nine years a citizen of the United States, and
who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he
shall be chosen.
The Vice-President of the United States shall be President of the
Senate, but shall have no vote unless they be equally divided.
The Senate shall choose their other officers, and also a President pro
tempore, in the absence of the Vice-President, or when he shall exercise
the office of President of the Unite<l States.
The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When
sitting for that purpose they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the
President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside.
And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds
of the members present.
Judgment, in cases of impeachment, shall not extend further than to
removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of
honor, trust, or profit under the United States ; but the party convicted
shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment,
and punishment according to law.
Sec. 4. The times, places and manner of holding elections for Sen-
ators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each state by the Legis-
lature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter
such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators.
The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such
meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by
law appoint a different day.
Sec. 5. Each house shall be the judge of the election, returns, and
qualifications of its own members, and a majority of each shall constitute
a quorum to do business; but a smaller number may adjourn from day to
day, and may be authorized to compel the attendance of absent members
in such manner and under such penalties as each house may provide.
Each house may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its
members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds,
expel a member.
Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to
time publish the same, excepting such parts as may, in their judgment,
require secrecy ; and the yeas and nays of the members of either house
on any question shall, at the desire of one-fifth of those present, be entered
on the journal.
Neither house, during the session of Congress, shall, without the
consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other
place than that in which the two houses shall be sitting.
Sec. 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compen-
sation for their services, to be ascertained by law, and paid out of the
treasury of the United States. They shall in all cases, except treason,
88 CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES
felony, and breach of the peace, be privileged from arrest during their
attendance at the session of their respective houses, and in going to and
returning from the same ; and for any speech or debate in either house
they shall not be questioned in any other place.
No Senator or Representative shall, during the time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil ofiSce under the authority of the United
States, which shall have been created, or the emoluments whereof shall
have been increased during such time ; and no person holding an}^ office
under the United States, shall be a member of either house during his
continuance in office.
Sec. 7. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of
Representatives ; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments
as on other bills.

the Senate, shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the President
of the United States ; if he approve he shall sign it ; but if not he shall
return it, with his objections, to that house in which it shall have origi-
nated, who shall enter the objections at large on their journal, and
proceed to reconsider it. If, after such reconsideration two-thirds of that
house shall agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent, together with the objec-
tions, to the other house, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if
approved by two-thirds of that house, it shall become a law. But in all
such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by 5 eas and nays,
and the names of the persons voting for and against the bill shall be entered
on the journal of each house respectively. If any bill shall not be returned
by the President within ten days (Sundays excepted), after it shall have
been presented to him, the same shall be a law, in like manner as if he
had signed it, unless the Congress, by their adjournment, prevent its
return, in which case it shall not be a law.
Every order, resolution, or vote to which the concurrence of the
Senate and House of Representatives may be necessar}^ (except on a
question of adjournment), shall be presented to the President of the
tJnited States, and before the same shall take eifect shall be approved by
him, or, being disapproved by him, shall be re-passed by two-thirds of
the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the rules and lim-
itations prescribed in the case of a bill.
Sec. 8. The Congress shall have power —

shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of
ihe Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States whose
appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be
established by law ; but the Congress may by law vest the appointment
of such inferior officers as they think proper in the President alone, in
the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may
happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which
shall expire at the end of their next session.
Sec. 3. He shall from time to time give to the Congress information
of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such mea-
sures as he shall judge necessary and expedient ; he may on extraordinary

occasions convene both houses, or either of them, and in case of disagree-
ment between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may
adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper ; he shall receive
ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United
States.
Sec. 4. The President, Vice-President, and all civil officers of the
United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and con-
viction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Article III.
Section I. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested
in one Supreme Court, and such inferior courts as the Congress may from
time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the Supreme and
inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior, and shall, at
stated times, receive for their services a compensation, which shall not be
diminished during their continuance in office.
Sec. 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and
equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and
treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority ; to all cases
affecting ambassadors, otlier public ministers, and consuls ; to all cases of
admiralty and maritime jurisdiction ; to controversies to which the United
States shall be a party ; to controversies between two or more states ;
between a state and citizens of another state ; between citizens of differ-
ent states ; between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants
of different states, and between a state or the citizens thereof, and foreign
states, citizens, or subjects.
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and consuls,
and those in which a state shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have
original jurisdiction.
In all the other cases before mentioned, the -Supreme Court shall
have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions
and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be b3>
jury ; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said crimes shal)
have been committed ; but when not committed within any state, the
trial shall be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have
directed.
Sec. 3. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levy-
ing war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid
and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the tes-
timony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open
court.

up, to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime.
No person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof
escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation
therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered
up on the claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.
Sec. 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this Union ;
but no new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any
other state ; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states,

concerned, as well as of the Congress.

valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution, when rati-
fied by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by con-
ventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratifi-
cation may be proposed by the Congress. Provided that no amendment

History of Warren County.
TOPOGEAPHY AND GEOLOGY.
[From Geological Survey ly A. H. Green. — 1870.]
"Warren county contains fifteen townships, or five hnndred and forty
square miles. The fourth principal meridian passes along its eastern bor-
der. It is intersected in the northern part, from east to west, by Main,
Henderson and Cedar creeks. South of this there is South Henderson
creek, rising in township 10 and running nearly west ; while to the east
Sing Run rises in the northern part of the same township and passing
south empties into Cedar Fork, near the eastern part of the county. Cedar
Fork rises near the western boundary of township 9 and runs "a little to
the south of east. South of this is Nigger Creek, of which Little Nigger
and Swan Creek are branches. By these and smaller streams the county is
well watered and its surface thoroughly drained.
Springs are not very abundant, but there are some which are large and
valuable. Good wells may usually be obtained at depths varying from ten
to thirty feet, but if at the latter depth water is not found, it is generally
necessary to dig sixty feet or more, or through the blue clay of the drift.
The greater part of AVarren county is prairie, but they are seldom large,
being divided by the numerous streams. The soil is a dark vegetable loam,
differing but little in its general character and appearance from that of the
adjoining counties. Along the ridges that skirt the streams the soil is of
less depth, lighter colored and less fertile. The subsoil is a yellow or brown
clay.
Much of the land lying along the water courses was originally covered
with timbei'. Large portions of this have been cut off. The varieties of
timber here are nearly the same as in this part of Illinois — principally the
common varieties of oak and hickory, with an unaergrowth of hazel and
sumach. Along the slopes of the hills and on the bottom lands of the
streams, in addition to these, can be found red and white elm, white, blue
and prickly ash, linden, sycamore, sugar and white maple, ash-leaved maple
or box-elder, black walnut, butternut, buckeye, Cottonwood, honey locust,
American aspen, wild cherry, coffee tree, hackberry, mulberry, ironwood,
wild plum, thorn, crab apple, dogwood and red bud.
The alluvial deposits of the county are not extensive, being confined to
the borders of the streams, and are seldom over a half mile in width, while
commonly they are less. The soil of these bottom lands is very fertile and
consists of black loam, more or less mixed with sand and gravel.
The coal measures underlie nearly the whole of Warren county. Sum-
ner and the northern part of Hale township probably embraces the entire
102 HISTORY OF WAREEN COUNTY.
district, or nearly so, where coal is not found. The coal measures comprise,
in this county, various stratas of shales, sandstones, limestones, clays and
coal, and attain a thickness in some parts of from one to two hundred feet.
These stratas rest upon the Burlington limestone, and where this is found
near the surface, or reached in shafting, no coal need be looked for in deeper
explorations.
The upper seam is from three to three and a half feet in thickness, and
has been found in few localities.
The next seam, No. 2 of the Illinois section, is from one foot, eight
inches, to two feet thick in this county, elsewhere it attains a thickness of
from three to live feet. Though thinner, this seam is more extensively
worked than either of the others.
On sections 14 and 23, in township 10, are some valuable quarries.
The rock is from six to seven feet thick at some of the localities and the
whole of it is thickly bedded, so that blocks of any desirable size can be
obtained. There are, however, large concretions of a calcareo -arenaceous
rock, locally called " flint," in the sandstones. One of these was taken
from the quarry of Mr. J. Worden, on section 14, that was about two and
one-half feet thick, six to seven wide, and from ten to twelve feet long.
This rock is very compact, hard enough to scratch glass, and in chloro-
hydric acid eft'ervesces slightly. It is not considered of any value, and. is
so hard that when it occurs in large masses it is very expensive getting it
out of the way.
In township 8 a coal seam crops out for some distance along Swan and
Little Xiffo^er creeks. At these localities mining has been carried on for
years, and in places the bluffs are almost honey-combed by the entries, new
and old. In some of the mines the fire-clay below the coal is varied in
color, the usual tints being a light blue, though in some places it is nearly
white, while in others it is vellow, or vellow and red. The coals in this
countv are mostly worked bv drifts or tunnels driven horrizontallv into the
t, tj %/ *j
hill-sides along the outcrops of the seams, and owing to the shaley character
of the roof of No. 2, considerable expense is incurred in "cribbing" to
sustain the roof The thickness of the coal is usually from twenty inches
to two feet, and in driving the entries it becomes necessary to remove a
portion of the roof shales, or the under-clay, in order to obtain the amount
of vertical space required to take out the coal. The lower seam, No. 1, of
the Illinois section, varies from two to four feet in this county. It is gen-
erally overlaid by black slate, or a dark colored, and frequently shaley lime-
stone. This forms a very good roof and makes the working of the seam
less expensive than that of No. 2, as, frequently, but little or no cribbing is
required.
A little east of Monmouth is one of the most extensive mining com-
panies in the country. Coal of a superior quality was found here, about
1871, and active preparations at once commenced to mine at this point.
The seam is about twenty inches in thickness, and was found at a depth of
about sixty feet. A far more valuable industry, and one which occupies
the almost entire attention of the company — The Monmouth Mining and
Manufacturing Company — is that of tile making. About thirty feet below
the coal seam a most valuable strata of tile clav was found, and in 1875,
active preparations were at once made to enter immediately upon the
manufacture of this article. A stock company, representing $200,000 cap-
ital, was foruied, and large buildings were erected and supplied with the

best of machinery. The buildings are so arranged and heated that the
business can be carried on at all seasons of the year. Huge steam-pi-pes
permeate the entire structure and every available foot of space is ust^d.
The company, of which the officers are: Daniel D. Parry, President; H.
C. J^eckwith, Secretary; and J. S. ^priggs, Treasurer, are now making all
sizes of tile, from a small two inch pipe used in draining fields where the
supply of water is small to the manufacture of large sewer pipes used in
the drainage of cities. The utility and profit of this material to the farm-
ing community can hardly be estimated. Aside from the increase in health
it brings by carrying ofi" all surplus wat- r, it yields the richest returns for
the capital invested. Fields which were once considered useless and value-
less are made productive through liberal drainage; and swamps, or ''sloughs,"
as tliev are called in the Western vernacular, once the source of fever and
ague and all their attendant evils and discomforts, are drained of their mias-
mal waters, the sources of these diseases removed, and the land made to
yield abundantly. jS^umerous instances could be given wherein one dollar
invested in this article has returned to the investor many times its value ;
and the intelligent reader of these pages has only to turn his attention to
where the practical results are seen to verify this statement.
The tile made by this company is of an unexceptional material, and is
rapidly finding its way into all parts of the West.
A few feet below the strata of clay, an excellent fire-clay was discovered.
Heretofore the company was compelled to bring their fire-brick, at a heavy
expense, from Ohio, but now, instead of purchasing that article, they have
an abundance for sale.
THE COAL INTERESTS OF THE COUNTY.
There are reported by the county surveyor, Mr. Thos. McClanahan,
twenty-nine coal mines in Warren county in operation. These employ
from one to twenty men each, or one hundred and twelve in all. The
average thickness of the coal vein is about thirty inches ; they range from
eighteen to forty inches. During the year 1875, and to March, 1876, there
were mined in all 384,740 bushels ; the lowest product from any one mine
being 170 bushels ; the greatest number 96,000 bushels.
The price for coal ranged from eight to twelve and one-half cents, the
total amount received being $38,374.00. The depth of the mines vary from
twenty to one hundred feet below the surface. The cost of opening these
mines ranges from $25.00 to $5,000. The roofs of the mines are generally
covered with soapstone or slate, and the bottom is principally fire-clay.
Th$ escapes are nearly always abundantly sufficient, and air in the mines
pure and wholesome,
Burlington Limestone. — The beds of this group immediately underlie
the coal measures in this county, wherever the junction of the coal with the
underlying beds can be seen.
The Burlington group in Warren county consists mainly of light gray
and brown limestones, chert and calcareous clay shale, and attains a thick-
ness pf from forty to fifty feet. These beds outcrop along the small streams
in the southern part of township 12. Section 31, of the same township,
furnishes layers of good building material sufiiciently thick for all ordinary
purposes. At Rockwell's mill, on Cedar Creek, the rock is quite arena-
ceous.
106 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
On section 1, in township 11, there are extensive quarries of limestone.
Much lime is burned here, and the rock being nearly a pure corbonate of
lime affords a good article. Xear the middle of section 7, on Cedar Creek,
and along a branch putting off" to the southeast there are extensive quarries
in the bluffs which f^up])ly Monmouth and the adjoining region with large
quantities of excellent building material.
The Burlington limestone furnishes a good article of building sfone,
and is found along the southern part of township 12, and in the northern of
township 11, in range 2 and 3 (See map in front part of this work). From
Rockwell's Mill for several miles up Cedar Creek the outcrops of these
beds form mural, or overhanging masses.
The rock is compact and dresses well, and some of the layers afford a
stone susceptible of a good polish.
In section 11 the sandstone forms immense ledges, which in some
places overhang the water ten or fifteen feet. " Hock House," as it is called,
is in this section, and was formed in some past time, when the bed of the
stream was considerably higher than at present, by the water cutting
a passage through a portion of the lower strata. In the denuding process,
a large pillar ot sandstone was left, and now supports the outer edge of the
upper strata which forms the roof.
Nearly all the outcrops of Burlington limestone will afford abundant
supplies of material for lime, and being nearly pure carbonate of lime, yields
an excellent article. Lime is extensively manufactured in some localities.
Better facilities are being obtained for getting fuel to the kilns and the manu-
factured lime to market, thereby rendering this business an important
source of wealth to some portions of the county.
Agriculture. — Warren county contains 335,945 acres of land, valued
at $8,095,104. The whole immber of town lots is 4,164; their value is
$1,063,688. The average value of lands is $24.10 per acre, and the average
value ot the lots is $255.45 each. The total value of all property in the
county, including personal property, is $12,039,637. The county contains
only 20,112 acres unimproved lands, and those are valued at $181,024,
showing there is no worthless land.
During the year 1875, there were sown in wheat 5,879 acres; in corn,
138,870 acres — nearly one-half the area of the county — in oats, 26,180 ; in
meadow, 36,316, and in other field products, 5,385 acres. There are 20,338
acres in woo.iland, and 3,644 acres in orchards.- There were also reported
to the county assessors 12,370 horses, valued at $564,038; 25,154 head of

HISTORY.
In the wmter of 1822 and 1823 the Legislature of the State of Illinois
laid out the " Military Tract,'' situated between the Illinois and Mississippi
rivers, into counties, giving to each a name, and at the same time formed
several other counties. At an earlier day the '' Military Tract," and, indeed,
all uorth and west of the Illinois river, including the country about Galena,
was attached to and lormed a part of Madison county, for judicial purposes.
At that session, however, Pike countv was formed, and the records of lands,
patents, &c., situated on the Military Tract, were thereafter recorded at
Atlas, then the countv seat.
A subsequent Legislature organized Adams, Schuyler, Fulton and Pe-
oria counties, attaching to Schuyler county the new county of McDonough,
for judicial purposes. During the session of 1824-2.^ the county of AVarren
was formed, comprising all chat part of the Military Tract lying west of the
fourth principal meridian, extending to the Mississippi river, and including
what is now Henderson countj-. It M'as named in honor of General Joseph
Warren, who so gallantly defended the country at the commencement of the
Revolutionary war, and who was the first ofiicer to shed his life's blood in
that struggle which gave America her independence. He was killed by a
musket ball at the battle of Bunker's Hill. As every school-boy knows, the
Americans were enabled to "hold the fort" while their ammunition lasted;
that giving way, they slowly retreated, Gen. Warren being the last to go.
As he retired he turned to look at the foe, and just at that instant received
a ball in his forehead, and sank dead to the earth. He was thirty-five years
of age at the time.
The Legislature met at Yandalia, then the capital of the State, and in
the Act forming the county attached it to Pike countv, for judicial pur-
poses, until a sutficient number of inhabitants were within its borders to
enable it to take active existence. This did not occur until June, 1830.
Late in the spring of 1827, some pioneers made their way into the
county limits, and the following year the first g)-ound was broken by a plow.
The Talbot family were the earliest settlers in Warren county. Mrs.
Talbot, mother of John B. Talbot, was some eighty years of age when she
came. She was born in New England, but came to Kentuck}- when John
was born. After the death of his mother he married and removed to
Oregon.
Allen G. Andrews, a nephew of Mrs. Talbot, came about the same
time. He had been several years in the West Indies, and was quite a good
Spanish scholar. He died some years ago on his farm, just north of Cedar
creek. James B. Atwood settled on his farm in 1828. In June of that
year he claimed to have broken five acres of prairie and planted it in corn.
He afterwards went to Texas. Andrew Robinson settled on the farm after-
wards owned by old Mr. Terpening. He located again on a farm about
seven miles north-east of Monmouth, where he, in after years, died. Adam
108 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
Ritchie ('' Sandy ") settled near Sugar-Tree Grove in May, 1828. His son,
Rev. Henderson Ritchie, born December 28, 1828, was the first white child
born in Warren county. Mr. Ritchie afterwards went to Quincy, then to
where Nauvoo was built, at which place he died of cholera. J. BuiFum and
L. P. Rockwell located where Rockwell's mill was afterwards built.
Daniel Harris, a quiet, peaceful man, erected a cabin near where the
village of Ellison now stands. He was basely murdered, while eating, by a
gun-shot through the window. His was the first death in the county.
It is somewhat strange that the first deaths in the region were violent.
Shortly after the killing of Mr. Harris, Mr. James Moffitt went out one
morning to find his cattle, which had strayed away on the unbounded prai-
ries. Getting upon a fence surrounding some choice garden or field, he un-
expectedly fell and dislocated his neck, so that death resulted soon after.
Afterwards, William Martin, son of Hugh Martin, was killed by the In-
dians. An account of this and the trial of the murderer will be found fur-
ther on in this narrative. Adam Ritchie (" Black," as he was called on ac-
count of his dark color) located here about the same date as that of his
cousin Adam (called " Sandy " on account of his sandy complexion, and to
distinguish him from the other), but afterwards removed to Iowa, where he
was a pioneer in the organization of the first Seceder church in that State.
Dr. Isaac Galland, or Garland— the latter is probably the correct
name — erected, in 1827, the first house on the site of the lower Yellow
Banks, now Oquaka, Henderson county. The Dr. afterwards related that
it took him nearly a week to lay up the logs of his house, eight rounds high.
There were no white men to help him, save his teamster, and in the emer-
gency he hired six or eight Indians, who were then encamped at the point
of woods below. He had to pay them for each log as it was rolled to its
place, and give them a drink around. As they were unused to such labor,
and particularly after imbibing two or three drams of liquor, thereby be-
coming unsteady in their movements, they were unable to perform heavy
work. Often at this stage of the labor, the logs, which were unhewn, and
ot the black-jack variety, would give a lurch, and coming down on their
bare arms and breasts, would tear off the skin in great flakes. The}^ would
give an ejaculatory ''owcA," and at once quit for the day. Their love of the
'• fire-water " was so great, however, that they would always return on the
following day, thereby repeating the process until the house was complete.
A few other houses were probably built this year — 1827. In 1828 and '29,
quite a number of settlers came and located in difterent portions of the
county. James and Rolla Simmons settled at Greenbush ; John C. Bond
shortly after, a little south of them; a family (name not now known) at the
head of Swan creek; Field, Jarvis and Col. Redman at the head of Ellison
creek; Samuel G. Morise, Thomas Pearce, Solomon Perkins and Shelden
Lockwood near the present town of Berwick; Stephen S. Phelps at the
Lower Yellow Banks; James Hodgens at Ilodgens' Grove, just north-west
of the present city of Monmouth; Samuel Jameson and sons, and James
Ryerson south of the Yellow Banks.
Stephen S. Phelps purchased the improved claim of Dr. Garland, and
removed his family to their new home in the summer of 1828. He was
soon joined by the families of Beatty and Jeremiah Smith, in addition to
several already mentioned. Mr. Smith erected a saw and grist mill on
Smith creek, in 1829, and before a few summers had passed quite a settle-
ment was established at this place.
HISTORY OV WARREN COUNTY. 109
III the Autumn of 1S29 and sprinj? of 1830, Elijah Davidson,^ Sr., Wil-
liam Whitman, Peter Butler and others located on the south side of Cedar
creek. By this time the entire territory comprised in Warren, Henderson
and Mercer counties contained only about thirt}^ or forty families; but
others were constantly coming, so that by the spring of the latter year it
was thought proper to send to Peoria and secure an order for a county elec-
tion from Hon. Kichard M. Young, Judge of the Circuit Court, and so
well known in after years throughout the State.
Bj the census of 1830, theie were that year in the territory included
within the three counties 360 inhabitants. Other reasons urged this step.
They were compelled to go to Peoria for all legal purposes — for all marriage
licenses— or publish a notice ten days before the event, and young people
then, as now, did not at all times care to make the happy affair so public a
matter; they were compelled to adopt the former course.
The citizens desired to assess and collect their own taxes, and to man-
aoje affairs their own wav. Petitions to this effect were freelv circulated
and freely signed.
*Daniel McISTeil, Jr., who then lived at Lower Yellow Banks, was ap-
pointed to go to Peoria to meet the Judge and present the petition. Judge
Young was then holding court in a building sixteen by twenty teet in
dimensions, situated upon the bank of the river, just where the latter leaves
the lake.
It was then more than fifty miles from any part of Warren to Peoria
by the most direct route. The Spoon and Kickapoo rivers were to be
crossed between the two places, and they were often unfordable by reason
of overflows. The Judge saw the necessity of the people, and being satis-
fied thei-e wei*e enough within the prescribed limits of the county, issued
the following order :

Whereas, By the ninth and eleventh sections of the Act entitled " An

whereas, it has been made appear to my satisfaction, that the county of

almost every office in the county at one time and another, and did more to advance its inter-
ests than any one else. He wasl)orn in Hillsborough, N. H., March 24, 1792; he emigrated
to Phelps, N. Y., in 1805; to Louisiana in 1810. He returned to N. Y. again in 1814, and
went to Wabash county, near Vincennes, Indiana, in 1819. In 1824 he removed to Fulton
county, Illinois. In 1*830 he came to Warren county, where he remained until 18o2, when
he went to De Witt, Iowa, where he died Feb. 28, 1859, aged seventy-six years.

-{ L. S. [- June, A. D. 1830, and of the Independence of the United
- — . States, the fifty-fourth.
Richard M. Young,
Circuit Judf/e of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of the State of Illinois.
Mr. Ritchie lived near the centre of the population, and early on the
morning of the day appointed for the election the voters assembled. Thirty-
seven votes were polled, three voters being absent. The persons named in
the order of Judge Young declining to serve as judges of election, the peo-
ple appointed Robert K. Hendricks, Sheldon Lockwood and Peter Butler
in their place, and Stephen S. Phelps and Daniel McXeil clerks. On count-
ino^ the votes at the close of the ballotincr John Pence, John B. Talbot and
Adam ("Sandy") Ritchie were found elected Commissioners; John Rust,
Sheriff, and John Ritchie, Coronor. Knox county, immediately east of
Warren, and McDonough county, in the south, were each organized by order
of Judge Young, on the same day, and at their elections each gave about
the same number of votes as Warren.
On the ]\[ondav following the election in Warren, the Commissioners
met at Lower Yellow Banks, at the house of Stephen S. Phelps, and organ-
ized as a Board of County Commissioners. They appointed Daniel McNeil
their clerk, divided the county into two election precincts and two Justice's
districts, the divisions being marked by the range line between three and
four west. The western was called Precinct No. 1, and Yellow Banks
Judge's District, the place of holding elections being the temporary court-
house. The eastern was called Precinct No. 2, and the place of holding
elections was a])pointed at the house of Isaac Hodgens, at Hodgens' Grove,
one mile north-west of the present county seat. An election was ordered
to be held at these places on the first Monday in August following, that

beiiiii; the <»'eneral election day throui^hoiit tlie State. It was also ordered,
that in addition to the State oHicers elected, there should be chosen thi-ee
County Commissioners, one Sheriff, one Coroner, two Justices, two Con-
stables in each precinct; and as the District Court was expected to hold a
session before this election, the Commissioners selected a Grand and Petit
Jury, which took ever}' eligible man in the county.
The county being now organized, it was necessary that the laws of the
State be put into force. Judge Young issued the following order :
'' Statk of Illinois, ) / .
Flftlt Judicial District. [
To all whom, it may concern^ Greeting :
" Know ye, That I, Richard M. Young, Judge of the Fifth Judicial
Circuit of the State of Illinois, north of the Illinois river, and presiding
Judge of the Circuit Court, in and for the county of AVarren, and State
aforesaid, in pursuance of the power vested in me by virtue of the 10th sec-
tion of the Act entitled 'An Act supplementary to an Act regulating the
Supreme and Circuit Courts,' approved January 1(>, 1829, approved Janu-
ary 28, 1829, do hereby order and appoint, that Cii'cuit Courts be held in
and for the said county of Warren, at such places as may be selected and
provided by the County Commissioners' Court of said county on the fourth
Mondays in June and the first Mondays in October, until I shall make
another order to the contrary.
'• Signed, Richard M. Young,
'-'â– Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit!'''
This order was given at Galena on July 5th, preceding the general
election, and on the same day the Judge gave the order for the organization
of the count}'; he gave to Daniel McNeil the appointment of clerk, j^ro
tern.., for the Circuit Court, dating it at Peoria, on October 1st, 1830, where
he held court, at the house of John B. Gunner At the general election in
August, votes were cast for Governor, Lieut.-Governor, Representative to
the General Assembly of the State, and for the county officers, as ordered
by the Commissioners. Forty-seven votes were cast, forty- three being the
greatest number any one candidate received, and every voter in the county
was present save three. Hon. John Reynolds received thirty-four votes for
Governor, and William Kinney eleven. Hon. Wright was elected
Representative; and for the county offices, the following persons were
chosen : John B. Talbot, Peter Butler and John Pence, Commissioners ;
Stephen S. Phelps, Sheriff, and John Ritchie, Coronor. At the Yellow Banks
District, John Pence and Daniel McNeil, Jr., were elected Justices, and
James Ryersou and William Causland, Constables. At the Hodgens' Grove
District, John B. Talbot, (" Sandy ") Adam Ritchie were elected Justices,
and David Findley and Constables. Daniel McNeil having
been appointed Clerk of Circuit Court, the county was now in complete
running order. For some reason no preparation was mads for holding the
Circuit Court, and the Judge met with the Clerk at the house of John B.
Gunner, at Henderson's Grove, and after performing a little formulatory
business, each returned to his home.
It was customary in these days to have something to '"take" at all
elections, and the " take " was pretty generally indulged in by all. At the
election in August, already referred to, a bucket was filled with whiskey,
and a sufficient number of tin cups placed therein, and all who desired could
freely imbibe. Tlie Indians were i)resent at the time in a sti-oug represen-

tation, and indulged in their favorite " fire-M-ater " to their full. Approach-
ing the successful candidates at the close of the election, the}^ congratulated
them in a series of grunts and approving gestures, using in many cases,
their only English sentence expressive of their ideas — " You big chief, big
chief, me little chief, so high," measuring a short distance from the ground.
Or " Keokuk, big chief, big chief," measuring with extended arm as high
as they could reach.
The county being now fully organized, it became necessary to have a
seat of justice, and as the inhabitants residing therein could not decide upon
the location, they petitioned the Legislature to select it. This the body did,
by appointing three commissioners to perform the duty. They were Major
Hazen Bedel, of Hancock county, John G. Sauburn, of Knox county, and
John McNeil, of Fulton. The Act appointing these persons as Commis-
sioners to locate the county seat passed the Legislature, and was approved
January 27, 1831. The Act directed them to meet at the house of Stephen
S. Phelps, on the first Monday of the following April, and being duly sworn
by some judge or justice in the count}^ they were "faithfully to take into
consideration the convenience of the people, the situation of the settlements
with a view to tlie future population of said county and the eligibility of the
situation, shall proceed to fix upon a place for the permanent seat of justice
for said county, and give to it a name."
On the day appointed these persons met and were duly sworn before
Daniel McNeil, Jr., a justice, and at once proceeded to select a location.
Yellow Banks, Hodo-en's Point, Center Grove and Ellison's Creek were all
contestants for the place. In order to ascertain what the future population
might be, the commissioners made a plat of the county and placed in each
township the probable number of towns, varying from four to forty-two.
On April the 7th they completed the work assigned them, and sealing
and directing a pa--kage containing their decision to the "Covmty Commis-
sioners Court of Warren County, Illinois," they departed to their homes.
At a called meeting of the latter court, on the 11th day of the same
month, the package was opened and was found to locate the seat of justice
on section 29, in township 11. The reader will find their decision given at
the commencement of the history of Monmouth, in their own words.
In choosing the name of the new county seat, each commissioner
selected the names ; from these, three were drawn, which proved to be
Isabella, Kosciusko and Monmouth. These were thrown together, and it
was agreed that the one drawn should be the name. Kosciusko was drawn,
wlien it was suggested by the commissioner who first selected it, that very
few of the inhabitants could spell it correctly, and he moved a drawing of
the other two names be made. This was done, and resulted in the name
the city now bears.
The summer of 1831 was remarkably cold. Dark spots were plainly
seen by the naked eye to cover the sun. The crops were almost a failure,
and an early winter set in. Snow fell on the Irth day of October, but the
skies clearing ofi", a fine spell of weather came in, which lastea a few weeks
and enabled the settlers to o^ather tiieir corn. The winter be<»:an ao:ain with
a storm of rain which lasted until the prairies were covered with
water. It then changed to snow, and became in a few hours bitterly
cold. Within twelve hours after the change, the prairies were a complete
glare of ice, and neither man or beast could move with safety. Men were
known to go five miles or more to get horse-shoes and nails made, and

retnrnino' home would set the shoes with a common drawino;-l<iiite and ham-
mer. By such means only were the}^ able to obtain fuel. The ice l^isted
six weeks, and about the 1st of February, 1832, a snow fell to the depth of
nine inches. This lay on the ground nearly six weeks and furnished excel-
lent sleighing, which was greatly improved by the residents in transporting
any articles needed.
The spring of 1832 opened rather late, the weather was cold, and, like
the previous spring, but little corn came up. The settlers had taken the
precaution, however, to procure a species of Indian maize, known as 'â– 'squaw
eorn^'' which matured much earlier than the common variety, and that sea-
son a very good crop was raised.
Their crops had hardly been planted when they were disturbed by news
of an Indian war. Black Hawk and his band were becoming troublesome,
and on the iirst of May Governor Reynolds encamped at t!ie Yellow Banks
with a large number of volunteers to aid in the subjection of this famous
Indian chief. There was no one in Warren county skilled in the manual
of arms, and great fears were expressed by the people least, on the Gover-
nor's absence, the savages would come from beyond the Mississippi River
and destroy them. To allay these fears and give the citizens an opportunity
to show their patriotism, the Governor issued the following special com-
mission :
" Camp at Yellow Banks. ]
May ttth, 1832. f
I do hereby appoint Daniel MclS'eil to give notice that an election
for a major of militia, composing an odd battalion in AYarren county, will
be held at Monmouth, at some convenient time, within ten days from the
date of this appointment. And I do further authorize the said McIsTeil to
conduct said election according to law, and to give the person elected major
a certificate of his election, which will authorize said major to cause elec-
tions to be held for company officers, so that said militia be organized with
speed to defend their lives from Indian depredations ; and in case of neces-
sity, the said McNeil is authorized to call on one or] more companies to
range the frontier for its defense.
(Signed,) John Reynolds.
Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the 111. Militia."
In accordance with the above order, notice was given and an election,
which resulted in the choice of Peter Butler, as major of the odd
battalion, who forthwith ordered elections to be held at different points, for
company officers, in certain districts of the county, and the organization of
the militia was complete.
Governor Reynolds passed on to Rock River with his troops, and the
citizens becoming alarmed for their safety, being without a patrol, or body
of rangers, for protection, petitioned McNeil to call volunteers. He com-
plied, and on the 31st of May issued a call, to meet at Monmouth on the
4th day of June. At this latter date a company of thirtij men, three com-
missioned, and fve non-commissioned officers was formed, and reported for
duty at the War Department at the City of Wasliington and to the Gover-
nor of the State.
For the entertainment of the readers of the^e pages, a copy of the
muster roll of this company is herewith given:

fifteen miles from the place of its enrollment.

These troops were disbanded in consequence of an order from the Gov-
ernor calling upon the counties of McDonongh and Warren to furnish a
company to serve as mounted rangers until regularly discharged. This
latter company was at once raised and Major Butler chosen captain and
James McCullon 1st Lieutenant; many of the old company joining under
these officers.
It was during the time this last company was stationed at a fort at
Yellow Banks that the murder of William Martin, already referred to,
occurred. This sad occurrence happened on the afternoon of a fine day
while Mr. Martin was engaged in patting up hay. He was near Little
York, and the two Misses McCoy saw five Indians come out from the woods
near, run to Martin and shoot and scalp him. The news of the murder
spread with great rapidity throughout the settlement and caused great
alarm among the inhabitants. Nearly every family at once repaired to the
fort for safety. A Methodist minister, who was preaching at Cedar Creek,
some three miles distant, immediately on receipt of the news, in the midst
of his sermon, abruptly closed his discourse, dismissed his congregation and
fled with great haste to Canton.
The murderers of Mr. Martin must be found and brought to punish-
ment. The war was over and people had returned to their homes. The
grand iury, at their session in 1832, following the painful murder, found a
true bill against certain Indians, names unknown, of Keokuk's band of the
Sac and Fox, friendly Indians, for the murder of William Martin. This
was forwarded to the Governor of the State, M'ith a request that he would
forward the same to the President of the United States, asking him to
require, through the Indian Agent of said band of Indians, the murderers.
The Agent, Col. Marmaduke Davenport, made the demand, and one of the
murderers was delivered to the United States garrison at Rock Island and
confined in Fort Armstrong. From this, however, he escaped and, crossing
the Mississippi River, fled to the far West.
According to the Indian custom, the tribe at once delivered up the next
of kin to the murderers. This latter fact was not, however, known to the
authorities of Warren county, Peter Butler, sheriff of the county, was
notified by Col. Davenport that he would be at the Lower Yellow Banks
about the 20th of March, 1833, with the reputed murderer of Martin, and
requested that he, 1 hitler, would be prepared to receive the prisoners. On
that day. Col. Davenport, accompanied by Pash-a-])a-ho, Wee-shaw and Keo-
kuk, chiefs, together with (juite a number of Indians, his guard and the

interpreters, arrived at Yellow Banks, and delivered into the custody of
Maj. l)Utler four young warriors, who were divested of their weapons and
ornaments, and, as they expressed it, became squaws, were placed under
guard and taken to Monmouth. Here they were put under the charge of
Daniel McNeil, jailor, who kept tlu-m under guard until the jail, then in
process of construction, was sufficiently strong for their safe keeping.
The names of the prisoners were J-o-nah, signifying, st'iy here^ or he quiet^
or be still; Ka-ke-mo, he tJiat troubles, or humhleth,' Wau-pe-sho-kon, the
white string; and S-sa-pe-mo (the meaning of the latter name is not now
knownV
They brought with them a parcel of pipes, tobacco, driei corn, beans
and a (quantity of meat and tallow, sufficient to last them several days. The
jailor had some of their provisions cooked for them in the Indian style, but
regularly supplied them with wholesome food. One day they refused to eat
until a speech had been delivered by J-o-nah, to which the others responded,
and when ended, the speaker gave to the jailor a large green blanket, a pair
of moccasins and a handkerchief. He was unable to understand the speech
and judged the Indians wanted the blanket and handkerchief (; hough quite
clean) washed, — the moccasins were for his wife, as a compensation for
washing.
When the articles were washed and dried, the jailor took them back to
the prisoners, when he discovered his error. Speeches were again made, in
which the name of Pencenean (a French interpreter,) was often used, lie
was in the employ of Mr. Phelps, and a short time after, being at the jail,
the Indians requested him to say to their keeper that they were shut up in
prison, deprived of fishing or hunting, away from their kindred and friends
and nation, and wholly dependent upon the " French man,''^ as they called
the jailor, for everything they ate and drank, and that, were it not for his
kindness, they would long since have s arved to death ; that the blanket
and other articles were of no use to them now, and that they had given
them to him as a token of their gratitude, and hoped that they might be so
received. " Tell him," said J-o-nah, " he is my brother, and a brother of
us all ; and should we ever be liberated we will return to our kindred and
tell them all i\\G *â– French man ^ \\?i9: dowQ for us. And when he becomes
old, we will fish and kill deer and buffalo, catch otter and beaver for him,
and we will bring them to Wa-wash-a-ne-quah (S. S. Phillips, who traded
much with the Indians), who will write to the 'â– French man'' to come
down with his one-horse wagon and bring up an abundance of provisions
and furs for himself, squaw, and little ones, and all our brothers shall be
his brotliers."
Court convened on June 14, 1833, and under a writ of habeas corjjus
the prisoners were brought up for trial. Col. Davenport, the Indian Agent,
Mr. Le Clair, his interpreter, Keokuk, a famous chief, always friendly to the
whites, Pow-a-sheite, and some fifty other chiefs and braves came up from
Yellow Banks, headed by the United States flag, and encamped near the
place of trial. The Indians — probably through the agent — had emplo^^ed
able counsel. They were Mr. Field, of Vandalia, Mr. Galewood, of Shaw-
neetown and Mr. Hempstead, of Galena. They paid these lawyers about
$500 each to defend them.
After a patient examination by the grand jury, of Keokuk and other
chiefs, to identify these persons as tlie murderers, that body reported that
"Tlie person confined in the fort at Rock Island was the only person ever taken
116 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
who was the real murderer, and that he liad escaped to parts unknown."
The prisoners were at once discharged, though not before Judge Young
had (through the interpreter) severely reprimanded Keokuk and the other
chiefs for delivering innocent persons in the room of the guilty. Keokuk
replied that one guilty of the crime had been delivered up to the United
States and that he had escaped, and with the four other murderers had gone
bevond the Kockv Mountains. That these four prisoners were next in kin
to the guilty ones, and according to tlieir custom were given to be punished.
They were all very grateful for the deliverance of their braves, and at once
returned to their hunting grounds. While in the jail, the keeper had tried
to learn from them where lead could be found in Iowa. They assured him
there was none to be found in that State worth working, except about Du-
buque. They often drew maps for him, starting at the lakes, drawing the
Illinois River and its tributaries, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Missouri, em-
bracing Turkey Hirer, Maquoketa, Waubosepinican, Iowa and its branches
and the Des Moines ; and it was often spoken of by the jailor, who has
transmitted these items to posterity, that it was doubtful whether anyone
could, with a piece of chalk, draw on a rough board floor so good a map of
these rivers and the country they traversed. A few other Indians were
tried in Wari'en county for various crimes, one of whom, Wa-gra-sho-kon,
married a daughter of the celebrated Black Hawk.
Troubles with the Indians soon, most happil}', ceased. The famous
Black Hawk war was closed, and emigrants came rapidly into the county.
Keligion and education at once took firm hold here, so that now the county
contains fully as many churches and schools, according to its population, as
any county in the United States.
The first sermon preached in the limits of Wan-en county was by Kev.
Mr. Finch, a Methodist minister. The people comprising this denomina-
tion were few in number then, and lived far apart. Their first regular mis-
sionary was Rev. Barton Randall. A class was formed first at Thomas
Pierce's house, and here Benton H. Cartwright, the first exhorter and
licensed pi*eacher among them, held services.
A Cumberland Presbytarian minister preached the first sermon in
Monmouth, at Joel Hargrove's house. As early as 1830 or 1831, the Associate
Keformed sent a missionary here, and their church formed at Henderson's
Grove is the oldest religious organizatioTi in the count}-. The Disciples
located about the same time east of Monmouth, their center being Cold-
brook. The first Sunday-school in Warren was opened at Yellow Bank, in
1830, and two years after, a second school was opened in Monmouth. The
first public school — supported by subscription — was opened in Monmouth
by Robert Black, in 1831, and shortly after, another was started by Alpheus
Russell.
Aside from Dr. Garland, the earliest physician to locate here M'as Dr.
Ethan Cabanis. Dr. Alpheus Russell came in 1831. Both these physicians
located at Monmouth.
John Wilton, the first lawyer in Warren county, located on his farm,
in what is now Kelley township. He was soon followed by John H.
Mitchell and Ivory Quinby.
The first recorded marriage was that of Samuel L. White to Huldah
Jennings, on May 10, 1831, the ceremony being performed by John B,
Talbott, Justice of the Peace.
On Saturday, June 11, 1831, the County Commissioners divided the
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 117
county into three election districts, or precincts. The first of these had for
its voting place the Court House, Monmouth ; the seco'.d was called Yel-
low Banks district, and the place of voting was at the house of William
Cousland ; and the third was known as Ellison district, where the voters
met at the house of Paris Smith. At this same time, a license was granted
to Willi;».m Cousland to keep an inn — the first one in Warren county — at
Yellow Banks. He paid two and one-half dollars for the license, which, as
in all such instruments, specified his rates for entertainment.
Stephen Phelps was also granted leave, on payment of $10, to sell
merchandise at the same place. He was also collector of the taxes, and
having about this time collected the sum of $208, he sent the same to
Springfield by the hand of John B. Talbott, who received $.5 for his
services.
The county was beginning to rapidly fill with settlers, and at every
meeting of the Commissioners, several petitions would be presented to grant
the opening of roads throughout the county. By March, 1832, eight road
districts were established, and to aid in county affairs, a tax of one-half per
cent, was levied on all personal property, which at that time included sev-
eral negro slaves.
It will be borne in mind by all, that at one time human slavery was
allowed in Blinois, and was the cause of considerable discussion and no
little trouble before it was banished from the State. There is on record in
the county offices the wise and humane action of Mr. Joseph Murphy, who
came into court October 2, 1834, and stated that he desired to liberate a
negro man he owned, who wished to go to Liberia. He gave bonds in the
sum of one thousand dollars to secure the county against any loss sustained
in keeping the slave should he fail to go to Liberia or to provide for him-
self. Mr. Murphy allowed the man to take the name of Richard Murphy,
and set him at liberty. Richard remained in Warren county, became quite
wealthy, and is now one of the best citizens therein. This curse to human-
ity was never allowed to any extent here, and only in its mildest forms, and
in many instances the slave was as well or better treated than the average
hired man at the present time. The majority of persons thus held were
brought here by their owners as servants from the South, and were gener-
ally considered as such.
In the autumn of 1832, Daniel McNeil was re-appointed County Clerk,
and Elijah Davidson continued as County Treasurer. In order to secure
warmth during the coming winter, to the county officers, a stone chimney
was ordered to be built to the court-house. It might be interesting to
pause here and notice the jail, which had been by this time completed. It
was built of hewed logs, each one foot square, the lower story having double
walls. An excavation was made in the ground two feet deep and the floor
laid at the bottom of this. It was composed of two layers of oak logs
hewed one foot square, the upper layer crossing the lower, thereby making
a floor two feet of solid oak. The\valls for seven rounds high were the
same in strength and thickness, the ends of the logs being dove-tailed into
each other. On the upper surface of the saventh round the upper floor
was laid. This was of the same material and size as the floor l^eneath, save
it was one thickness closely joined. In the centre a heavy trap door was
made, securely fastened by a strong pad-lock. The roof was of the firmest
material and well covered with good shingles. In the loAver stoi-y a win-
dow or " air-hole " six by twelve inches was made, and between the logs
118 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
composing the wall, iron bars one inch in thickness, were secnrely fastened
crossing this window up and down and crossways. At the centre of one end
of the upper story, a double oak plank door was placed, and a stairway lead-
ing from it to the ground built. The prisoners were conducted up these
stairs into the upper stor3% when the trap door was raised, and tiiey
descended by a movable stairway or ladder to the cell beneath. Here they
were secure. This jail was probably one of the best of the kind ever built
in the west, and was the work of Jacob Rust, the lowest bidder for the con-
tract. It was completed and accepted May 4th, 1S33.
On June 29, IS-tO, this jail was sold to L. C. Woodworth for Sfi2.50,
he with C. L. Merrill, having secured the contract to erect the present
structure for $2,831. 66f. It was accepted the following year, and has since
undergone considerable repair, and will, in all probability, soon be replaced
by one fully equal to any emergency.
The old log court-house was occupied about seven years. In 1835, at
the March meeting of the County Commissioners, James McCallon, Elijah
Davidson, and Daniel McNeil, Jr., were appointed a committee to prepare
a plan for a new one. These submitted a plan for a frame structure thirty
feet long, twenty feet wide, and one and a half story high. June 1st the
contract for its construction was let, and Daniel McNeil appointed superin-
tendent. The cost was to be $773.00. The old court-house was sold to
James Hodgen for twenty-one dollars. The new court-house was never
finished, and was used in the incomplete condition one or two years. On
December 8, 1836, the county Board ordered advertisements to be inserted
in the Peoria Champion, Quincy Aryus, Bounty Law Register^ Sanga-
mon Journal, and the Illinois Patriot, for the best.plans for a court-house,
to be built of brick and stone. The present court-house was the result. It
is forty by tifty feet in dimensions, two stories high, and, when constructed,
had an east and south front. The latter is now closed. The contract for
its construction was let to Cornelius Tunnicliff for $8,998. He commenced
the work, drew the tirst installment of pay — $1,000 — and left. His securi-
ties at once entered upon the work and completed the building. It, as well
as the jail, standing immediately west, is becoming inadequate to the wants
of the county, and a commodious structure will, ere long, occupy its place.
The territory now comprising Henderson county was, prior to 1841,
included in AYarren county. The residents of that section, especially those
in the western parts, complained of the long distance to the seat ot justice,
and made some efforts to have it removed to a more central locality. Many
of them desired it should be placed at Oquawka, on the Mississippi river, the
old county seat. This would not do. To settle all matters, the western
part of the county, including 164,608 acres of land, was set off into another
county, and called Henderson. The county seat was located at Oquawka.
Until late years this place was generally known as Yellow Banks, and as
such is often spoken ot in these pages. It is well to state that the latter
name is simply the English translation of the Indian name the town still
bears.
In 1849 the iirst vote on a township organization was held. It was
decided in the affirmative, and the County C(»mmissioners appointed Josejih
Paddox, John C. Bond and Ira F. M. Butler a committee to divide the
county into townships. This committee performed this duty, and for one or
two years the county was governed accordingly. A decision of the Supreme
Court, however, decided the act illegal, on account of the insufficient num-
HI8TORY OF WAKKEN COUNTY. 119
ber of votes, and the organization was abandoned. In 1850, Mr. C K.
Smith presented a petition signed by many citizens, asking for a vote to be
held at the IS^oveiriber election. At the election the organization was
defeated. Another petition was presented in 1852 by Mr. Kober*; Gilmore,
and again defeated at the polls. On September 12, 185.3, Mr. James
McC/oy presented a petition signed by more than fifty voters, asking that
at the coming general election, in November, the vote be once more taken.
This election was held on November 8th, and thirteen hundred and ninety-
six votes were cast; seven hundred and sixty-eight were in favor, and the
county commissioners soon after appointed John 0. Bond, Samuel 'Jallam
and Robert Gilmore a committee to divide the county into townships. This
committee formed them as they now exist, save that a few of the names
have since been changed.
The most prominent roads were laid out in the early settlement of the
county.
These wagon roads have, in a great measure, lost their usefulness, being
superceded by railroads, but are yet used as thoroughfares. In December,
1834, a road "was laid out, or " viewed," as it is termed in all the records,
from Monmouth to Macomb. The following year, from Monmouth to
Knoxville. This same year the law requiring all able-bodied men over
twenty-one years of age to work two days on the roads was put in force, and
had a salutarv effect on the travellins; facilities. Also, during the summer,
the State road from Knoxville through Warren county to New Boston was
viewed by Erastus Denison and Ephriam Gilmore. A route had been for
some time established to Kock Island, and to other points, and after the
location of the State road, the improvements in this regard were generally
local.
The first railroad in the county was built in 1854, and finished to Mon-
mouth on January 1st, 1855. The charter was obtained for a road under the
title of the " Peoria and Oquawka Rail Road, but upon the refusal on the
part of Oquawka to give aid to the road, Burlington raised the sum re-
quired, and in consequence the route was changed, and Burlington became
what Oquawka might have been, a city of great commercial importance,
and a railroad centre for all roads through Iowa. The Chicago and Quincy
Rail Road was completed to Galesburg at that time, and that company leased
or obtained the privilege of running their trains over the Peoria & Oquawka
line to Burlington, and in a short time after purchased the entire line,
when the name was changed to the Chicago & Burlington Rail Road. As
soon as the Quincy branch was completed to Galesburg, 110 miles, it
assumed the present title, by which it is known all over the world.
This county, when it was asked for $50,000 to aid in its construction,
gave it, but the measure was strongly opposed on the ground that such a
road would never pay, as the road could, it was said, take ofi' in one day all
Warren county could produce for shipment in a year. This was an argu-
ment that it would not benefit the county for the sum required, and as for
the passenger traflic, it was said that a stage passed through ]\Ionmoutli
from Peoria three times a week, and that they were never half full. Where
would the railroad get its support ?
When the road was finished, there was more freight at Monmouth
waiting shipment than the most sanguine had dreamed, and the result was,
the county began increasing ra]udly in population and inq»r()vcnu'nt, until
it ranks as one of the greatest shipping counties on the line of road.
120 HISTORY OF WAEEEN COUNTS.
In the summer of 1870, the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis rail-
road was completed through the county, giving direct communication with
St. Louis on the south and Rock Island on the north. The county gave
largely to assist in the construction of this road, and has derived good ben-
efits from it. It has lately come under the control of the C. B. & Q.
The railroad company intend soon to erect a fine depot at the crossing,
to take the place of the one lately destroyed by fire. This is much needed,
as the travel to this point is very large.
A narrow gauge railroad is now projected from a point in Illinois,
opposite Burlington, thence through Henderson, Warren. Fulton and Peoria
counties, via Monmouth and Canton, to Pekin and Peoria. At Pekin con-
nection will be made with the Rantoul and Eastern for Toledo, Ohio.
A company, with a capital stock of §1,000,000, is already formed, and
received their charier on November 20, 1875. It is largely composed of
the best business men of the county, and when completed will be a source
of great benefit to the people along the line.

OLD SETTLERS' ORGAXIZATIOK
Pursuant to a call published in the AVarren and Henderson county
papers, many of the old settlers in tlie two counties met at Young America,
on Saturday afternoon, January 27, 1872. The meeting was called to order
by Col. S. Hutchinson, who stated the object to be the forming of a per-
manent organization of the old settlers of the two counties, and to make
arrangements for a social re-union, to be held on the 22d day of February.
All persons who had settled in the two counties ])rovious to the forma-
tion of Henderson county, were admitted to membership, save the editors
of the papers in each of the counties, who were admitted to honorary mem-
bership. It was also decided that the officers should beapresident, vice-presi-
dents, secretarv and treasurer. At the meeting held Februarv 22d, committees
were appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws and to select officers for
the ensuini; vear. The time fur the annual re-union was fixed to be on the
lirst AVednesday in June, of each year.
On this day the first re-union was held, at which time the constitution
and by-laws were approved. The re-union was held at Young America,
and a most enjoyable spirit prevailed. The old settlers gave many interest-
ing accounts of their early life, and privations endured in the settling of
the counties. It was ordered to change the time of meeting until the first
Wednesday in September, hereafter, which is the annual day for the
re-unions.
These re-unions have been regularly held since. Nearly all the old
settlers* in the two counties are now members, and take an active part in
sustaining the organizatio^i. The constitution is now so amended that all
persons in the counties are eligible for membership who have resided therein
thirtv Years.
The present officers are : President, Col. Samuel Hutchinson; Vice-
President, James Tucker; Secretary, W. A. Grant; Corresponding Sec-
retary, J. B. Patterson; Treasurer, AN^m. Hanna.

128 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
THE OLDEST CHUliCH IN WAEREN COUNTY.
The first organized church in this county was near what is called
"Sugar-Tree Grove," in Hale township. It was called the ''Associate
Presbyterian Church of Henderson;" the latter name from its supposed
proximity to the Henderson river, seven miles distant. Some persons of
this denomination, it seems, had settled in this vicinity as early as 1828,
from Ohio. Earlier still, persons of the same church connection had settled
in the southern part of this State, and in Missouri. Fi'om some of those
in the latter State, a petition for supply of gospel ordinances was sent to the
Associate Synod at its meeting in May, 182.5. The result was, that the
Synod resolved to occupy the States of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.
From this time forward, missionaries were appointed to labor a part of each
year in each of these States. In 1830, Rev. James McCarrel was appointed
to what was then called the Western Mission, and in November of that
year he organized Henderson congregation. This took place at the house
of John Caldwell. The names of twenty-five persons are recorded, who
were received as members at the organization, and are as follows : Adam
Ritchie, John Ritcliie, Elizabetli Ritchie, Abigail Ritchie, Martha Ritchie,
Jane Campbell, John Maley, John Kendall, Elizabeth Kendall, Samuel Gib-
son, Elizabeth Gibson, James Junkin, Sarah Junkin, Martha Junkin, Ann
Junkin, William Gibson, Matthew Ritcliie, Caroline Ritchie, Adam Ritchie,
Sen., John Ritchie, Jr., Sarah Junkin, David Findley, Jane Findley, Mar-
garet Temple and John W. Caldwell. Not one of these is now a member of
this church — only five are living — and these at, or near, Monmouth, The
first elders were : Adam Ritchie and John Caldwell. The first pastor was
Rev. James C. Bruce, from Ohio, wdio first began t() receive support from
the congregation Oct. 15, 1832, though he had preached here for some time
previous as a missionary. He was installed pastor May 11, 1833, by Rev.
Samuel Ingalls and Adam Ritchie, elder, who were api^ointed for that pur-
pose by the Presbytery of Miami, Ohio, to w^iich this church then belonged.
This pastorale continued until Oct. 25, 1817, after which the church was
without a pastor for two years. On the 25th of Oct., 1849, Rev. John
Scott, D. D., was installed pastor, and continued until 1868. The leading
public event which occurred during this long pastorate, was the union of
the Associate Reformed and Associate churches of the United States, form-
ing the United Presbyterian Church. The union was consummated by the
synods representing these churches at Pittsburgh, Pa., May 26, 1858, and
afterward unanimously approved by this congregation.
Sometime in the autumn of 1868, a call was made out for T. G. Mor-
row, then a licentiate, and his ordination and installation as pastor took
place in April, 1869. This pastorate continued for three years. In the fall
of 1873, Rev. David A. Wallace, D. D., president of Monmouth College,
became pastor, and continued until tailing health from many laborious
duties cojnpelled him to resign in January, 1876. The present pastor is
Rev. David McDill, D. D., professor in Monmouth College.
The first house of worship in this county was built by this congrega-
tion in 1832. It was made of lo^s, and was 24 bv 30 feet. It was used for
worship until 1^39, when it was lar too small to accommodate the congre-
gation. Some persons often came as far as twenty miles to attend church.
HISTORY OF WARKEN COUNTY. 129
In 1837 a move was made to build a large brick clmrcli, near the first. The
brick were made upon the ground near bv, and heavy foundation walls of
stone, three feet thick, were laid, upon which arose the spacious edifice 50
by 64 feet — a wonder for those days — which cost over $4,000. This house,
too, was often filled to overflowing in those early days. It was used for
worship fur thirty-five years — from 1S39 to lsT4. The present neat and
elegant structure, 40 by 60 feet, built in 1^74, stands near a beautiful grove,
and is hardly surpassed in its attractiveness by any edifice in the county.
It cost, including fixtures and furnace, $4,252, and is all ]>aid.
The present membership of this church is 120, and the congregation is
in a prosperous condition. This church has received, since its organization,
about 700 members. Many have taken certificates to aid in the formation
of other churches. As an outgrowth from this "oldest church in the
county," and from Cedar Creek church, there are at the present time 7iine
United Presbyterian churches, with about 2,000 members.
The Cedar Creek church, in Sumner township, was organized July 4,
1835, as Associate Reformed, by Rev. Dr. Blakie, now of Boston, Mass.
It was first called by the very appropriate name, " Sharon Church," and
was the first of this denomination in this county, and probably for many
contiguous counties in this region.
The following names are found upon the oldest record as the persons
constituting the church at the time organized : John Giles, rulino; elder ;
James Giles, John P. Giles, Hugh Martin, Prudence Giles, Nancy Giles,
Susannah Giles, Margaret Giles, Mary L. Giles, Susan Giles, Jane Giles,
John Williamson, James Campbell, Mary Findley, James Findley, Nancy
Robinson, George Jay and Mary A. Jay — eighteen in all. Dr. Blakie had
been sent out as a missionary of the church into the new settlements of the
West, and when he found a few who had been members of churches where
they had previously lived, he gathered them into a church.
Prior to his coming, Rev. John Wallace, also a missionary, from Mon-
roe county, Ya., had preached several times at the houses of some of the
settlers, and was employed by the congregation, after the organization, as
stated supply for a portion of his time from 1835 to 1840. The first elders
were J. C. McCrery, Wm. Walker and Maj. John Brown. Rev. James C.
Porter came here in 1840, and was the first pastor— installed in 1841, and
continued until near the time of his death, which occurred Nov. 15, 1863.
It was during this pastorate that the membership largely increased. Also,
in 1858, this church joined in the union and thus became United Presby-
terian.
Rev. John A. Reynolds began his work in this church in August, 1863,
and remained pastor until July, 1872, nine years.
The present pastor is Rev. J. M. Atchison, who commenced his labors
here Dec. 1, 1872.
This congregation has built three houses of worship. The first was of
logs, built in 1836, and stood about two miles northeast from Little York.
This was occupied until 1845, when a larger and better edifice was needed,
and a frame structure was erected near the first, and was occupied as a liouse
of worship over twenty years. The present commodious house was built in
1866, cost about $4,000, and stands in a beautiful grove, three miles north-
east from Little York. This congregation also own a pleasant parsonage,
situated one mile north of the church. Not one of the original members
is now connected with this congregation; only two are known to be living —
130 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTS'.
Mrs. Wallace, widow of Kev. John TTallace, and Mrs. Jamison, now in
Floi'ida. The present membership is 140. The total contributions for last
year, as reported, for all church purposes were about $2,500, averaofing
nearly twenty dollars per member, showing a very generous liberality. This
congregation is in a growing and prosperous condition, has a flourishing
Sabbath-school, averaging 110, Superintendent Zenas Hogue, and a large
weekly district prayer meeting, well attended by old and young.
THE COUIs^TY FARM.
Until the year 1857, the poor in the county were kept by the townships.
They were generally given to the "lowest bidder," as it was termed, to the
one who would maintain them at the least expense to the county. In
almost all cases these were the relatives of the person so kept. This
method was uusatisfactorv. In June of that vear the county, throui^h Por-
ter Phelps and Hiram Norcross as its agents, purchased one hundred and
twenty acres of Luther Dickson for $3,360, and on this tract a house was
erected at an expense of $2,000, for this class of persons.
Soon after Albert Mitchell, Esq., was appointed Superintendent, and
in 1859 the rules regulating this institution were adopted.
The institution is now in a good condition,occupying a commodious frame
house. The farm is about five miles southwest of Monmouth, and at
present sustains quite a number of inmates.
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS, SCHOOL LANDS, TRUSTEES AND
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.
The initiatory steps in the Educational development of Warren County
consisted in the election of the proper officers for disposing of school lands,
the custodians of the funds raised, and the organization of districts. The
first event in this direction occurred at a regular meeting of the County
Commissioners' Court, held in Monmouth, Sept. 5th, 1831. This court
consisted of Peter Butler and John B. Talbot, County Commissioners;
Daniel McNeil, County Clerk; and James Ryerson, Sherifl". Alexis Phelps
was appointed School Commissioner, and executed his bond for $12,000,
with Peter Butler, John B. Talbot and Sheldon Lockwood sureties, which
was approved and filed Sept. 7, 1831. At the same term of this court,
Robert Kendall, James Murphy and Daniel McNeil were appi^inted Trustees.
These otiicers proceeded at once to sub-divide the school section into
lots from 1 to 25 inclusive, and pursuant to public notice, said lands and lots
were offered at public sale Oct. 27, 1831. The aggregate amount of lands
and lots sold at auction on that day was 200 acres, ranging in price from
$1.25 to $1.62^ per acre. The remainder of the section was sold at private
sale, and the first annual report of the Commissioner shows, total amount
received, $1,754.4(5; deducting expenses, net proceeds, $1,39S.38.
In tiie spring of 1S32 the following persons were appointed Trustees of
Sumner Township: Ilugli Martin, Anthony Cannon and James Barton.
Lands were offered for sale Sept. 8, 1834. Eighty acres were sold to John
G. Barton at $1.25 per acre.

was succeeded by Wyat S. Berry, who sold the school lands of Swan Town-
ship for $4,070.90, Jan. 15, 1838.
The next sale of lands was the 16th Sec. of Boseville Township, July
29, 1839, for $1,029.60. Then lands of Kelly Township, Sept. 28, 1S40,
for $1,433.10. Samuel Wood was next appointed School Commissioner,
and he sold a part of the lands of Spring Grove Township, Dec. 14, 1S43.
This officer w^as succeeded by James G. Madden, during whose term of office,
by act of the Legislature, the School Commissioner became ex-qjfficio Super-
intendent of schools.
The following comprises a list of school commissioners and eK-ojflcio
superintendents: W. B. Jenks, Wm. F. Smith, A. H. Tracy, V. S. Har-
baugh, Willis B. Greer, F. B. Bond, Wm. H. Pierce, A. B. Cox and Ira B,
Harsh, whose term of office expired in Dec. 1865. By act of the Legisla-
ture of 1865, Sec. 11 of the school law was so amended that the office of
school commissioner terminated, and created the office of County Superin-
tendent. G. I. Willson w^as the first elected to this office, and continued the
allotted time, four years. In 1870 J. B. Donnell, the present incumbent,
succeeded to this office.
" SCHOOLS.
The low rate at which the school lands were sold — being in most cases
not more than six per cent, of what was their real value a few years later
— -failed to create an endowment sufficient to establish and maintain a sys-
tem of public schools. Hence schools were not "free," and while we had
all the machinery of a j^ublic school system, a small per cent, only of the
expense was paid from the public funds. In order, then, to maintain schools,
rate-bills were established.
The first school-house built in this county was at Sugar-Tree Grove, in
Hale Township, in 1832. It was made of logs, and was 14x16 ft. For
windows there was one log sawed out, and small panes of glass placed in
around the room. The floor was puncheon, as also were the seats and
desks. This house w^as used for school for about eight years, when it was
burned. The first teacher in the county taught this school. Miss Martha
Junkin, from Ohio. People came from the distance of four and five miles,
showing much interest under the difficulties experienced in early education,
as in other matters.
132 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
On March 6, 1834, School District No. 1, Monmouth Township
was organized, consisting of twelve sections in said township, and four sec-
tions in Hale Township. We give below a verbatim copy of the first
annual reports of Trustees ot Monmouth District 'No. 1, filed in October,
1834.
"There are in this district fifty children over five and under twenty-one
years of age. There has been a school kept three montlis since the organ-
ization of this district. Twenty-five children have received tuition. The
probable expense will be forty-five dollars.

This school was "kept" in a log house with a dirt floor, and used for
the common purpose of church, court house and school. It was situated on
the southeast corner of Main and Xorth streets, and afterwards used for a
blacksmitli shop. In 1835 a small fi-ame school house was built on the
present site of the M. E. Church, but by no means were all the educational
advantages afforded the youth in those days, to be found in the public
schools. In fact, they were not provided till about twenty years later. It
was at best but little chea]ier nor more efiicient than the jirivate or select
schools. Good and efficient teachers were sometimes employed, but after
serving one or two terms, it was common for them to throw off" the
restraints of a School Board, and set up independently. Among the earlier
teachers whose names are remembered, are Messrs. McElray, Crandall,
Weltman, Kellum, Eandall and Gilbert Turnbull. The first female teacher
was Mrs. Montgomery, who taught in her own room in a house on the
present site of B. Parkes dwelling. This room was afterwards rented to
Miss Paine, now Mrs. Gibson, who taught successfully for a number of
terms.
Mr. Wellman, who seems to be most distinctly remembered as a peda-
gogue, taught in a log bouse, on the northeast corner of Broad.way and
West Avenue. Other rooms were occupied, from time to time R. D.
Hammond was the last teacher to occupy the old pioneer school house,
liobert Gibson taught at the same time, on the north side of the square,
where now stands J. B. Martin's market house. In 1848, the pioneer house
was removed, and a more pretending edifice erected on the same ground.
It had now become the duty of teachers to obtain certificates of qualifica-
tion from the Commissioner, Mdio was by law also Superintendent of Scliools.
In 1854, a Mr. Gray, teacher in the public school, abandoned it, "because,"
to use his own words, "it didn't pay." At the same time, W. B. Jenks
was teaching a flourishing private school in the Prej-byterian church, and
Miss Julia Madden another in the Christian church. The public school
was revived again by Mr. A. II. Tracy, wdio opened his first term with
nineteen pupils, and closed with ninety-one. Mr. Tracy, assisted by his
wife, taught with success for several terms. In October, 1855, all public
schools were made free, by virtue of the two mill tax.
And here dates a new era in the history of schools of the county and
state. The first effect of this change was to kill out the private or select
schools, which had been so largely relied i;pon, and to more than double the
number of pupils seeking instruction. Public attention Avas at once directed
to the necessity of providing more am])le accommodations ; and new school
houses became the order of the day. Something more than ample funds and
good houses was required to meet the growling responsibilities, resulting from
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 1.33
the new order of things, and what was true of Warren county, was equally so
of the state at large. At a state convention of education, held in Chicago,
in December, 1S56, much interest and new life was given to the system of
public instruction, resulting from its deliberations. Among those who took
active ]iart in discussions, Avere Xewton Bateman, Wm. Bross, Simeon
AV'right, Supt. "Wells, and Prof. Turner. At this convention it was deter-
mined to employ a state agent, for one year, to labor throughout the state
in the interest of the public schools ; whose salary was $1,800, to be paid
bv contributions. Warren county was represented in the convention by
John A. Gordon, A. H. Tracy, and D. R. Stevens. Prof Simeon Wright
was selected for the work of state agent, and Warren count}' enjoyed his
services for a number of days. The result proved all the most sanguine
had hoiked. Graded schools sprang up as by magic, all over the state, and
public opinion took a long stride in the direction of progress and reform,
and from these labors and efforts are due tlie present type of public
instruction.
AYARREX COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The Wan-en County Agricultural Society was organized August 7,
ls52, at a public meeting held at the court house in Monmouth. The
following temporary officers were then selected : Samuel Hallam, President ;
J. G. Madden, Secretary ; G. W. Palmer, Vice President ; F. B. Weakley,
Treasurer. The first annual election was held September 4, 1S52, resulting
as follows : Samuel Hallam, President ; Robt. Gibson, Yice President ; J.
G. Madden, Secretary ; Wm. Billings, Treasurer.
The first annual Fair was held in the court house on Friday, Oct. 15,
1S52. One thousand people were in attendance. The premiums consisted
of certificates, no cash prizes being offered. From tliis small beginning
the Society's annual exhibition has advanced to a position as one of the best
County Fairs in the state. Over $3,000 are annually offered in premiums ;
the Fair is continued four days, and the total yearly attendance is about
twenty-five thousand. Fair week is observed*^ as a general holiday, and
entire" families flock in from all parts of AYarren and adjacent counties.
The Society owns extensive grounds, and suitable and commodious build-
ings, valued at about $12,000.
The present officers of the association are : President, John B.
McGinnis ; Vice President, A. H. Swain ; Secretary, Geo. C. Rankin ;
Treasurer, Robt. M. Stevenson. Executive Committee : R. S. Patton, C. L.
Buck, C. Hardin, L. D. Robiuhon, J. T. Richards, II. D. Harding, J. E.
Alexander, E. R. Houlton, L. II. Gilmore.
The twentv-sixth annual Fair will occur September 11, 12, 13, and 14,
1877.
WARREX COUNTY LIBRARY" AXD READING ROOM ASSO-
CIATION.
This Library has resulted from a number of movements iu the direc-
tion of a Public Library. The matter was considered and discussed in a
variety of forms, tor years before it reached a successful organization.
In 1867 the attempt was made to start a Library as a joint stock
134 HISTORY OF WAEREN COUNTY.
association ; but the subscriptions were insufficient. The same year, the
Evano-elical Union of Monmouth, composed of representatives of the
churches in Monmouth, took the subject under consideration, and gave it a
new impulse. After consultation with many citizens, who were willing to
assist, it was determined to form a corporation independent of the Evan-
gelical Union.
It was evident that a Public Library, such as was demanded to meet
the wants, common and special, of this intelligent community, would need
a large amount of money given for this purpose. Accordingly, a Trust
Corporation was organized, after the manner of many of the oldest and
most successful institutions of the East, for benevolent and educational
purposes. The Constitution and Kules were drafted by Hon. Ivory Quimby,
whose sound judgment and deep interest in the project assured a good
beginning in this important respect. He also provided a room, free of
expense, until his death.
Twenty-five persons became responsible for the sum of twenty-five
hundred dollars, for the purpose of sustaining a Reading Eoom during two
years. These original In;-orporators and Directors were the following :
J. E. Alexander, F. E. Armsby, Draper Babcock, F. M. Bruner, W. G.
Bone, J. S. Clark, J. L. Dryden, Chancy Hardin, Robert Holloway, A. H.
Holt, J. M. Jameison, Wm. Laferty, James Long, R. C. Matthews, W. P.
Pressly, D. P. Phelps, Ivory Quimby, N. A. Rankin, J. K. Ripley, T. H.
Rogers, E. R. Smith, A. H. Swain, Wm. Smiley, D. A. Wallace, J. R.
Webster.
A Reading Room, well supplied with papers and periodicals was
opened June 1st, 1868, under the name of the Monmouth Reading Room
and Library. This was sustained for two years. No books were bought,
as there were no funds for that purpose.
During all this time, unknown to any one, these small beginnings were
closely considered by a friend, who was only waiting to see the evidences
of permanent success and usefulness. Early in the year 1870, Mr. W. P.
Pressly made an offer of the gift of a Library Building, which he erected
the same year. This building was given with the condition, that the net
rents of the two storerooms on the first floor should be used to buy books,
and the second story should be used as a Library Hall and Reading Room.
He expressed the desire that the plan of the Library should be enlarged, so
as to benefit the country as well as the city. The following are his published
words: "Insomuch as under God we are principally indebted to the
citizens of the counti'y for the means to be used in its construction, if for
no higher motive, gratitude towards them bids us now remember them as
a party to be benefited, and thus made a party interested in patronizing and
sustaining their own Institution." It was therefore legally incorporated
as "The Warren County Library and Reading Room Association," and
special provisions were made for the benefit of readers in the country.
The same year the Board of County Supervisors united in the perma-
nent founding of the Library, by making a grant thereto "Of all rents,
profits and issues hereafter accruing from the Seminary Block," and receiv-
ing the right in the Constitution of the Association to appoint one of the
Trustees. Dr. Henry Tubbs has held that ])osition ever since, by repeated
appointments from the Board of Supervisors. Under his judicious super-
vision, the Constitution was amended, making equitable provision for the
entire county.
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 135
The income from the County Grant is required to l>e devoted to the
purchase of books, most of wliich must l)e in the Department of Ai^ricult-
ure and the Practical Arts. In this way, according to the Charter, any
Department can be founded, bearing the name of the founder, and restricted
to any special class of books.
The plan of extending the use of the Library to the country, has been
eminently a success. It is used in everj'- township in the county ; and it
has brought within its sphere a population sufficiently large to support and
use a strong and well equipped library. For this purpose the population of
the city alone is not sufficient, as the general experience of libraries has
shown. The hand that gave to the Library this opportunit}- for extended
usefulness has continued to strengthen and cherish it. It has received
from him, again and again, for the purpose of printing a catalogue, for the
enlargement of the lot, and for the increase of the endowment tund. This
community has never received from any other citizen as large a public gift
as it has from Mr. Pressly.
As the Librar}' was founded for the benefit of all, it has been sustained
and favored by all classes of citizens in town and country. The young and
the old are constantly to be seen at its tables. The ladies, by various efforts,
furnished the room, and none frequent it more than they. Farmers for ten
or fifteen miles around use the books and magazines in their homes. Pro-
fessional men and business men have given freely to its support in money,
and what is equally important, in careful attention to its interests. Fore-
most among such should be named the late and lamented AVm. Laferty,
who was for eight years its treasurer. Each year he gave it a generous gift,
and he gave to it much time and affectionate attention. His practical busi-
ness ability and excellent judgment have been of untold value to it during
these years when its character was formino^.
Much of the work which has made the Library successful has been
gratuitously done by the officers, trustees, directors and various commit-
tees. The business matters have alwaj's been in the hands of careful busi-
ness men in the Committees on the Building and on Finance, and on the
Auditing Committee. The selection of reading matter is done by a com-
mittee representing both town and county. A committee on Book Notices
calls attention through the press to the best reading. A committee of
Reference give their aid in the room to readers desiring information or
guidance. A cataloguing committee does the current cataloguing and pre-
pares the bulletins.
The most approved methods of lil)rary management are in use. A
printed catalogue was issued in ISTrt, and monthly bulletins have been
printed since, showing what accessions have been made. An indicator
shows what volumes or magazines are on the shelves, and what are in use.
A card catalogue has just been constructed, from the bulletins, to supple-
ment the catalogue of 1874. Special manuscript bulletins ar-; posted up in
the room from time to time, giving lists of works on subjects of present
interest. Readers are urged to recomniend books for ])urchase, with the
assurance that such will be bought unless good reason ei^sts to the con-
trary. New books are bought each month. The reading is fresh, popular
and wholesome. The selections are made with careful fairness toward all
classes of readers, and careful regard for the good of the community. That
which is worthless or immoral is not bought, oris withdrawn if accidentally
obtained.
186 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
The proportion of books bought in different departments is determined
raainlj b}" the reading and requests of adult readers, except where special
funds are provided for some department, as is the case for M'orks on agricul-
ture and the useful arts. According to this rule the selections are about
one-third in science, arts, philosophy and general literature; one-third in
history, biography and travels; one-third in fiction and poetry.
The number of volumes in the library (April 2, 1877,) is 4,850. Of
these 600 have been donated by citizens, and 4,250 purchased. For this
purpose the Pressly rents produce one thousand dollars per year, and the
county grant about three hundred dollars per year. About 800 volumes are
added each year. One hundred and twenty magazines and papers are regu-
larly received. Many of these are gifts from friends. The last year's cir-
culation of books M'as 16,564. The daily attendance in the reading room
averages about 120. About 1,000 persons use the library. The permanent
funds have increased each year by donations and sale of perpetual tickets.
That which is received by gift goes to the permanent upbuilding of the in-
stitution. The small charge made for the use of the library is only intended
to cover current expenses, as salaries, fuel, etc. The building and books are
provided without expense to readers. Many of the citizens of the county
have obtained perpetual tickets, giving to their families the continual use of
the library. About one-half the settled ministers of the county now have
tree use of the librarj' by the kindness of friends who have purchased this
right for them. This privilege is gladly extended in this way to any person
or class for whom tickets are provided, either annual or perpetual. The
library has one price and one rule for all. The charge is as low as it can
safely be made. But there is no limit to the extent to which perpetual free
tickets can be endowed by those who wish to benefit others, or their own
families, in this way.
It is needful to remember that only six years have elapsed since the
library was first opened for loan of books. Its plan includes many impor-
tant features not yet attempted for want of sufficient means, such as a free
reading room, branch libraries at other points, special .departments of books
not in general demand, full and frequent catalogues, endowed free tickets,
and methods of extending the usefnlness of the institution.
In all that has been done, this rule has been constantly followed : " Pay
as you go." This principle has been impresse.i upon the enterprise by the
prudent business men who have founded and prohibited the incurring of
debts and the attempting of more than the means warrant. Thus a founda-
tion has been laid, broad and deep, on which the future will build. Already,
as a county library it has no superior, and it has obtained a high name and
position among the public libraries of the AVest.

MONMOUTH.
On the 27th day of January, 1831, the Legislature appointed John G.
Sanborn, Hazen Bedell, and John McNeil, coramissionei's, to locate the
permanent seat of justice, and on the 7tli of April following they, in a
sealed package, directed to the county commissioners :
" Respectfully report that we have located the seat of justice for said
county, on the south-west quarter of Section twenty-nine, in township
Eleven North, and range Two west of the Fourth principal meridian,
which said quarter section is reported and believed to be Congress land, and
they have given the said seat of justice the name of Monmouth."
At the court, held June 12, 1831, orders for proposals to erect^a court-
house were issued as follows ; * * * " That said proposals be received,
and contracts entered into for the purpose of building a court-house of
twenty by twenty-two feet on the ground, nine feet between the sleepers
and joists, to be built of logs hewn down inside and out, and finished as
the county commissioners shall direct, at the time and place aforesaid, and
in such lot as they shall designate."
The contract for building the court-house, after the usual manner of
crying it, was let to Francis Kendall for the sum of fifty-seven dollars. To
this he was allowed three dollars for additional expense incurred. The
Commissioners' Court had met just si^ days previous to this, and ordered
a sale of lots in the town of Monmouth. The site had been surveyed by the
surveyor, Peter Butler, for which he received twenty-one cents per lot,
three hundred and twenty stakes being required. The order for sale read
as follows : " The highest and best bidder to be the purchaser, provided
the larjre or out lots be not sold, unless the bid offered shall amount to at
least two dollars per acre.
"The bid on the in lots be not less than four dollars per lot, and those
adjoining the public square not to be sold unless the bid offered be at least
ten dollars per lot.
"The lots will be offered, with a few exceptions, alternately, and the pur-
chaser or purchasers will receive a certificate of purchase, and required to
give three separate notes of equal payments with approved security, pay-
able in twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months, subject to a discount of
142 HISTORY OF WAREEN COUNTY.
twelve and a half per cent, on all moneys paid for said lots before due, cal-
culating from the time paid ; also subject to a discount of twelve and a
haif per cent, on the amount or price of each lot, on which a comfortable
cabin or dwelling-house, store, grocery, or mechanic's shop shall be erected
and finished suitable to live in, within one year from the sale of said lot.'-
At this sale, held on June 6th, forty-six purchases were made and
recorded, aggregating in value $965.62^.
At the Special Term of the Commissioners' Court, held July 9, 1830,
it was
'' On motion, ordered, That the temporary county seat of justice, or
place of holding County Commissioners courts and Circuit courts, for the
county of Warren, be held (until the permanent seat be located) at the
upper house of Mr. Alexis Phelps, at the Yellow Banks, now Oquawka, Hen-
derson countv, on fractional section Fifteen, in town Eleven north of Eange
Five West.""
The court-house was ready for occupancy early in the summer, and the
records (M'hat few there were) were at once taken there. During the sum-
mer and autumn but six buildings were erected, beside the court-house
and jail. The former occupied the lot afterwards purchased by
Capt. D. T. Denman, and on which his residence stood, while the latter
was situated on the lot afterwards occupied by the wagon shop of William
The first settlers were Daniel McXeil, Joel Hargrove, and Elijah Da-
vidson, of whom one, the latter, is now living.
The first mentioned of these persons opened the pioneer store of Mon-
mouth; Daniel McNeil, the second; Stapp and Berry, the third, and the
fourth by McCallon and Gibson.
To open a grocery at that time, it was necessary to obtain a town
license, in which generally was specified the prices to be charged for articles
used in the keeping of customers. It appears that these trades people were
accustomed to often combine the privilege of entertaining travelers with the
grocery business, as there is on record in the county ofiice many items like
the followincf :
" For each meal victuals, - - - 25 cents.
"For each night's lodging, - - - 634 cents.
" For horse kept over night, - - - 25 cents.
" For horse feed, - " - - - 121.3 cents.
" For 1^ pint whiskey, gin, mm, wine or cordial, I2I2 cents.
" For 3^ pint peach, I'rench or apple brandy, 25 cents."
The above " scale of prices " was granted on November 25, 1835, when
Warren county contained, according to a census taken then, 2,623 inhabi-
tants, and was twentv-six miles Inroad and thirtv-six miles lonor; and when
• t. CD '
Monmouth contained but seven houses, according to some authorities, and
about eighty inhabitants, although, by the close of the year 1S37, there
were eig-htv houses and 400 inhabitants.
At the December term of the County Commissioners Court, in 1834,
the first license to keep a tavern in Monmouth was granted to James M.
Garrison, who gave a bond of $200, and paid for this license §5.00. The fol-
lowing were the rates fixed in the license :
'' Each meal of victuals, .... 25 cents.
" Lodging per night, ..... I.2I2 cents.
" Or if single bed be demanded, - - - 6)4 cents.
" Keeping horse per night, - - - - 25 cents.
HISTORY OF WAREEN COUNTY. 143
" Single ft'cd for horse, ----- 1232 cents.
" Each half pint of wine, rum, gin or brandy of any kind, 25 cent.s.
" (Less quantity in same proportion.)
" Each half pint of whiskej-, - . - - I2i^ cents.
"Each gill of whiskey, - - - - 6I4 cents."
The licenses for opening stores were generally from seven to ten dollars
and were renewable each year. S. Phelps & Co. were granted one at the
June term, ls35, for §8.00. Elijah Davidson, the first grocery man, was
given his license December 5, 1881, for $2.50. He was appointed county
treasurer in the spring of 1832, and held the office several years. Martin
^IcCowen was granted license to open a grocery in 1884, and, as in all gro-
cery licenses, the rates of charges were also given. W. B. Stapp and ^V . S.
Berry were granted license to '* vend merchandise" in the summer of 1835,
and paid sll license fee. At the same time Ferdinand Vandyke and
AV^illiam Tracy received their permits for the same purpose. James P.
Hogue, James McCallon and AV. F. Smith's permits were given at the
same time, and from that time, names of the old merchants often appear
on the old records, showing that Monmouth was increasing rapidly in
business and population. During these five years it had only been a
village, but the citizens were activel}- discussing the feasibility of formino-
a town government, and enjoying a town's privileges. James McCallon,
Daniel McNeil, Jr., and others, were the most energetic in this move, and
finally in compliance with the general demand, posted notices in the most
conspicuous places in town, said notices informing the '' legally qualified
voters of the town of Monmouth" that a meeting to determine this ques-
tion would be held at the school house on ^November 29, 1836. The
proceedings to incorporate Monmouth as a town, as recorded, were
commenced at this date. These proceedings were under the general
law of the State in force at that time, being the act approved February
12, 1831, entitled "an act to incorporate the inhabitants of such towns
as may wish to be incorporated." Ten days prior to November 29th,
a notice had been publicly posted up in compliance to law, and in
pursuance of this call " the male citizens of the town of Monmouth"
met at the school house at this date, and having organized by calling
Elijah Davidson to he chair, and Harry Jennings as clerk, "the object
of the meetino: was fuliv set forth" and voting for and against the
incorporation of the town commenced. Twenty-three votes were cast in
favor of the incorporation and none against.
The voters were: Wm. F. Smith, Daniel McXeil, Jr., E. AV. McMillen,
MorJecai Mc Bride, B. F, Berry, Yost Hufiman, J. J, Caldwell, G. W.
Vaugan, J. P. Hogue, Samuel Brazelton, Geo. H. "Wright, Alex. Hogue,
F. "V^andyke, James McCallon, S. T. McBride, Thos. Butler, Andrew
liobiiison, Frank Kendell, Peter I. Dodge, Thos. G. Hogue, Elijah David-
son, Harry Jennings and Alex. Bitchie.
It was at once ordered that an election be held on December 5tli
following, for five trustees to serve twelve months, or until their successors
were qualified. At this time Elijah Davidson, Daniel McXeil. Jr., James
McCallon. Alex, liitchie and George H. \\' right were duly elected, and at
once qualified.
Daniel McXeil, Jr., was chosen President of this Board of Trustees and
Harry Jennings, Clerk and Treasurer. The first official act of this Board
was the passing of the following ordinance, at their meeting held on Decem-
ber 26, at the house of James McCallon :
14:4 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
"Ordinance 1st. — Be it ordained by the President and Trustees of the
Town of Monmouth, in council convened, that the corporation and jurisdic-
tion of the officers of the Town of Monmouth be one-half mile east, one-
half mile west, one-half mile south and one-half mile north from the center
of the Public Square, containing one mile square."
Other ordinances were also passed for the government of the town, for
the regulation of public houses and groceries, the punishment of offenders,
regulating the running at large of stock and any and all affairs pertaining
to the welfare of a town.
Under this form of government the town was controlled, with several
changes in the rulers, until 1852, when the General Assembly passed the
following Act, approved June 21st, of that year :
" Section 1. — Be it enacted by the people of the State of Illinois, rep-
resented in the General Assembly, That the inhabitants of the Town of
Monmouth, in the county of Warren and State of Illinois, be, and are
hereby constituted a body politic and corporate, by the name and style of
' The City of Monmouth,' and by that name shall have perpetual succession,
and may have and use a common seal, which they may change and alter at
pleasure."
Section second fixes the boundaries at one mile from the center of the
Public Square, each way, and section third provides for the division of the
city into two wards.
From that time forward the government has remained unchanged, save
that the increase in population has made more wards and an increased num-
ber of councilmen, there being two from each ward. The first election for
mayor and other officers, under this act, was held on Saturday, October 23,
1852. Samuel Wood was elected to that office, and four aldermen, from
the two wards, who convened for the trauoaction of business on November
3d, and fairly launched the city under the new government.
Until the advent of the C, B. & Q. Railroad, in 1854, the grow^th ot
Monmouth was slow. That year, however, the town sprang into active life,
and improvements of every kind began to be made. The next year the
college, whose history appears elsewhere, was located, and gave an additional
impetus to persons looking for an intellectual home. A few years after, the
library was founded, and made another prominent attraction. Good hotels
were built, fine stores appeared, and the Union Hall, one of the largest in
this part of the State, was erected.
A fire company is now sustained, and but little danger is apprehended
from that dread element.
There are three good banks, two excellent weekly papers, and a monthly,
issued in the interests of the college.
Eleven churches are sustained, whose membership will aggregate over
two thousand. *
The city is divided into four wards, in each of which a good school is
maintained.
The Post-Office. — Daniel McNeil was the earliest postmaster appointed
in the county. On September 10, 1830, lie, acting as county clerk, advised
the Postmaster General at Washington City, that the county of Warren
was now established according to law. and that the county seat was estab-
lished at Lower Yellow Banks, on the Mississippi River, on the 9th of July,
preceding. This place being about half way between Des Moines River
and Rock River rapids, did "request the Postmaster General to establish
HISTORY Oi* WARREN COUNTY. 145
tlie post-office, to be called the ' Warren Court House Post-Office,' and
further request him to forward the mail iini'.iediately to said office from
Fulton county, Schuyler county, or from Yenus, Hancock county." This
request was complied with, and Mr. McNeil appointed to the office. As
soon as the Indian hostilities commenced, he was compelled to remove from
YeUow Banks to a place of safety. He came to Monmouth, but there
being no house there, he repaired to an old camp, about a mile northeast.
This he repaired and occupied some time, and here, during the first week,
his wife killed two large rattlesnakes in the house. He carried the letters
generally in his hat, and when meeting any one for whom he had mail,
would hail them, take oif his hat and deliver them their letters. On one
occasion, on removing his portable post-office, the mail was blown away by
a tierce wind prevailing at the time. It occasioned him no little trouble
to find it.
The postage at that time was from ten to twenty five cents on each
letter, and money being scarce, tlie recipient of the letter would often be
compelled to forego the pleasure of reading it for several days until he could
get the money to pay the postage. Then, letters were carried without
being prepaid, but could remain but a few weeks in the office, when they
were forwarded to the Dead-Letter Office. As soon as the town of Mon-
mouth was established an office was made there. It now does a lar«j-e busi-
ness, ranking as a second-class office. Its report for 1876 shows that there
were sold, 352,127 stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. For
these $7,011.3(3 were received. There were 2,626 money orders issued,
which amounted to §31,055.41 in value; 1,920 orders were paid, amounting
to $33,354.82; 60^ letters were registered, and 756 of this kind were received;
999 letters were sent to the Dead-Letter Office. This report shows that the
office handled $72,021.59 during the year.
The first bank established in the county was by Ivory Quinby. His
was a priv^ate institution, and in it he was soon succeeded by the firm of
Gregg & Hubbard.
Afterwards a bank was opened by E. L. Chapman, which in the early
part of 1862 was merged into the present First National Bank. This latter
institution is one of the oldest in the United States, being the eighty-fifth
established. In 1872 a private bank was opened by C. Jones & Co., which
was also, on November 1, 1870, merged into a National bank, being the
present ^[onmouth National.
The Second National Bank was established in the early part of 1875.
All these banks are in excellent condition and stand high in the mer-
cantile world.
MANUFACTORIES.
The first two-horse cultivator for corn and the first two-horse planter
were invented and made in this county. These enable one man to do the
work of nearly six, and have been a saving of many millions of dollars liere-
tofore paid for labor. These agricultural implements are now largely used
in the Southern States in the cultivation of cotton.
In 1859, W, S. Weir began experimenting with a corn jjIow, as the
old methods of cultivating corn required so much labor, resulting in a plow
for which a patent was first issued in December, 1862.
In 1863, after thoroughly trying the invention, ^arrangements were
made for manufacturing on a larger scale. The first shop was built in the
146 HISTORY OF WAKREN COUNTY.
northwest part of the city, 24x36 feet, joined by a blacksmltli shop 24x30
feet. During the year, with the assistance of nine men, 400 plows were
made. In the winter of 1864-5, 500 were manufactured and found a ready
sale.
The demand for these cultivators, at this time, necessitated a still further
enlargement. A location was selected on Wood street, near the C, B. &
Q. Railroad, where buildings were erected for wood work and foundry, the
dimensions of which were 100x36 feet. A capital stock of $35,000 was rep-
resented, and the force of men increased to twenty-five.
For the season of 1866, 800 cultivators were made. Arrangements for
â– the completion of a larger number were made, the following season, and
the work was carried on with vigor. On the morning of January 20, 1867,
by some unexplained accident, the entire works, with contiguons buildings,
were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of $35,000, including 1,200 cultiva-
tors stored in the building. Of this amount, $10,000 was covered by in-
surance.
By the first of March, a main building 34x36 feet, two stories high,
was ready for business, together with a blacksmith shop 24x70, and a
foundry 40x70 feet. Fifty men were employed, and 1,500 cultivators were
in readiness for the spring trade.
In the fall of 1867, the Weir Plow Company was organized with a cap-
ital of $50,000.
Three thousand cultivators were made in 1868 ; 4,000 in 1869 ; 6,500
in 1870. In the fall of this year the working force was increased to sixty
men, and 10,000 cultivators were placed upon the market.
The^ company has again increased the number of its employes, until
they now give employment to over 300.
In 1871 they erected their present shops, whose combined floors cover
more than three acres. The capital invested is over $600,000, and about
$5,000 worth of agricultural implements are made daily.
Tlie Pattee brotliers, manufacturers of the " New Departure," tongue-
less cultivator, obtained their patent in 1872, and commenced to manufac-
ture at Buda. Bureau county. Two years after they erected shops here
and commenced at once the manufacture. They have a large foundry, ma-
chine and blacksmith shops, and make the cultivator from the crude mate-
rial. They are daily in receipt of sufficient orders to exhaust all their man-
ufactured stock. During 1876, 4,000 cultivators were sold in addition to
those sold from Buda and lioseville. They are also made at this latter
place.
Mr. W. S. Hopper is also engaged extensively in the manufacture of
a cultivator which finds a ready sale, more than 3,000 being now in use.
His establishment is directly north of the C.,B. & Q.depot. He purchased
the buildings in 1869, and in company with Mr. Palmer, began the making
of his plows. His rrade has grown steadily and is chiefly in the western
and southwestern states.
Aside from the principal shops of the city, Monmouth contains one or
two flouring mills, a good carriage and wagon factory, and a large number
of shops of various kinds.
The city enjoys a large trade with the surrounding country. As fine
stores can be seen here as in any city west of Chicago, and many persons
come from the farthest parts of the county to trade here.
It has been shown elsewhere in these pages that the greater part of
HISTOKY OF WARREN COUNTY. 147
the business of the residents of Warren county were eni^aged in agriculture
and in stock raising, As an evidence of this and the amount of business
done at Monmouth station, the following is given :
" During die year endiug with December, the shipments on the C, B,
& Q. from Monmouth, included 215 cars of hogs, 12,160 head ; eight cars
of sheep, 682 head; 208 cars of cattle, 3,366 head; lOa cars of corn, -12,000
bushels ; 33 cars of oats, 16,300 bushels ; 18 cars of rye, 7,200 bushels ; 3
cars of barley, 1,200 bushels."
THE SCHOOLS.
The educational advantages of Monmouth have always maintained a
liigli standard. In 1831 a private school was opened by Robert Black. He
was shortly followed by Alpheus Russell, both linding their support in sub-
scriptions. No public provision was made until 1834, when at the meeting
of the County Commissioners, on May 6th, the petition of Jacob Rust and
others to establish the boundaries of school district No. 1 was granted.
This included Monmouth, and on the site of the present Methodist Episco-
pal Church a frame school house, about eighteen feet square, was erected.
This was a very comfortable structure, and was often used for other pur-
poses, such as town meetings, religious services, or any public gathering.
It was here, on the 29th of November, 1836, the election for the town or-
ganization was held. On October 2d, 1834 the trustees of the Monmouth
district made their tirst report to the County Commissioners. It reads as
follows :
"There are in this district fifty children between the ages of five and
twenty-one years. There has been a school kept three months since the
organization of the district. There have twenty-five children received tui-
tion. The probable expense will be $45."
This report is signed by Gilbert Turnbull and James McCallon, and
appears to record the tirst public school in Monmouth.
This small building was occupied several years. About the year 1840
it was sold and converted into a dwelling. On its site a much larger struc-
ture was erected to accommodate the increasing school ])opulation. Ere
long it was found to be insufficient, and several private schools were opened.
The basement of the Presbyterian Church and the Christian Church were
rented and occupied. This occurred about the year 1852 or '3. The schools
were under the control of the town and city councils, but no active j)art
seems to have been taken by either board until the year 1855, when at a
meeting of the city council, in June, it was ordered that the sum of $2,500
be appropriated to erect the East Ward school house. This same autumn
school was opened in the school house already in use, in the Christian
Church, and in the basement of the Presbyterian Church. The council em-
ployed Mr. W. B. Jenks to occupy the school house, who was to receive as
compensation for his services three dollars per scholar in all common
branches, and four dollars from each of those who ]Hirsued the higher
studies. They employed Mr. A, II. Tracy for the Christian Church at the
same terms.
The East AVard house was completed and occupied during the years
1855-G, and gav^e ample room until 1858-9, when the school population had
so increased that the West Ward school house was erected to accommodate
them. It was found that the city council could not give the necessary at-
148
HISTORY OF WAEKEN COUNTT.
tention to the schools they demanded, and the city charter was amended
February 21, 1863, placing the care of the schools under a board of three
directors. These were elected March 3d. They were John S. Spriggs, A.
Young Graham and Nathaniel A. Rankin. For the years 1863-1 S. A.
Hammer was by them elected principal, and also eleven teachers, six in the
East Ward and live in the West. For the next year two principals were
chosen, and the school term extended to six months. The same year the
contract for the South school house was let. In 1867 the North Ward house
was built, and the school year made nine months. The following year the
South school house was enlarged. In 1869 the board of directors was in-
creased to five, and each principal of a ward was made superintendent of
that building, and under this plan the city schools are still conducted. The
secretary of the board acts as city superintendent, though he takes no part
in the instruction. The schools are in an excehent condition, and give em-
ployment to twenty-two teachers, whose aggreggate monthly salaries are
over $1,200.
CHURCHES.
The First United Presbyterian Church. This congregation was or-
ganized by Eev. Robert Ross, May 9, 18.'S3, more than twenty-three years
ago, as an Associate Reformed church.
Nineteen persons united, whose names were as follows : John, Ann,
Isabella and James S. Gowdy, Isabella Young, James G. and Martha E.
Madden, T. AV. Smiley, John and Mary J. Saville, John E. Clark, Mrs.
Clark, Robert A. Kendall, James E. McNair, Edward Kirk, Isabella Wal-
lace, Julia A., Maria S. and Susan Madden. The tirst communion service
was held June 1 Lth, following, when thirty-four persons sat down to the
communion table, ten of whom now remain in the congregation. This
church has received into her fellowship over fourteen hundred persons, and
now has a membership of four hundred.
The congregation worshipped in the court-house from the organization
until the close of 1856, when the old college chapel was finished and services
were conducted there. The chapel becoming too small for the increasing
congregation, it was decided to erect a church edifice. During the last week
of June, 1857, $6,000 were subscribed for that purpose, and building at
once commenced. This structure (the present building) was completed in
the early part of the summer of 1818, and the first services held therein on
July lth of that year.
From an anniversary sermon preached in May, 1876, by the pastor.
Rev. J. G. Barnes, the following extracts relating to history of this denom-
ination in Monmouth are taken : "The first As'sociate Reformed minister
who preached in Monmouth was Rev. J. C. Porter, in the winter of 1817-'18.
After the death of Rev. Willson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, he
preached for them at the request of the session, until they could obtain
supplies of their own. He and other supplies preached in the court-house,
generally to small audiences, until November, 1851, when a call was ex-
tended to Rev. S. F. Vaunate, who afterwards lost his life by a shell on
board a vessel on the Mississippi river, during the late war. An acadeniy
having been established here by the Second Associate Presbytery of Illinois,
it was thought best to find some one to take charge of both church and
school. Dr. David A. Wallace, of East Boston, Mass., was called, who
came, and on the second Sabbath of February, 1856, preached twice in the
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNIT. 149
Baptist and once in the Presbyterian church. On the first Sabbath of Oc-
tober, 1856, he entered upon his duties, and reinaiued in charge of both
church and school till August, 1860, when he resigned his care of the former
to give his entire attention to the latter. In the tall of 185S, the Theolog-
ical Seminary of this denomination was removed from Oxford, Ohio, to
Monmouth, and Dr. Young acted as pastor of the congregation until De-
cember 31, 1862. In 1863, in April, a call was sent to Rev. David G,
Bradford, now pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Princeton, Bureau
county, which he accepted and remained in this relation until August, 1867.
Rev. R. B. Ewing was the next pastor, coming in the spring of 1868, and
remaining until tHinuarv 1, 1870. In May, of that year, the present pastor,
Rev. Barnes, was called."
The first officers of this church were James Gowdy and T. W. Smiley,
elders, (still living), James C. Crawford, John P. Giles and Robert B. Da-
vidson. The first Sabbath-school superintendent was Nathan Brown, Sr.
There were five teachers and twenty-five scholars. There are now nearly
two hundred scholars.
On November 20, 1862, twenty-one members withdrew to form the
Second United Presbyterian Church of Monmouth. The third church and
the one at Kirkwood were also formerly part of this church.
The Second United Presbyterian Church was organized at the house of
Mr. A. Y. Graham, in Monmouth, October 25, 1862. The members were,
prior to this time, communicants in the First United Presbyterian Church;
but that becoming large and the membership somewhat scattered, it was
desirous to form another congregation. The constituent meinbers were: M.
A. Campbell, Catharine Graham, Mary C. Wolf, Esther J. Campbell, W. C.
Brown, A. Y. Graham, M. D. Campbell, J. D. Wolf, James Findley, Lizzie
Campbell, Prof J. C. Willson, Prof J. C. Hutchinson, R. M. Campbell,
Lizzie W. AVillson, Lizzie Hutchinson, J. F. McCreary, James Strain, Eliz-
abeth McCreary, and Nancy Strain — 19. Until the year 1866, they wor-
shipped in the college chapel, when by this time they had so increased in
numbers that a church edifice was deemed necessary. This was erected a
little south of the college buildings, and cost the congregation about $10,000.
When the church was oro^anized the Revs. A. Young: and Dr. D. A. Wal-
lace were called as associate pastors, also being connected with the college.
December 31, 1868, Dr. AYallace resigned to devote his entire time to the
latter institution, and Dr. Young assumed the entire duties of pastor, con-
tinuing until June 11, 1871. On August 11, 1872, Rev. D. M. Ure was
called. He continued to fill the pulpit till August 4, 1874, when he re-
signed. The present pastor. Rev. W. T. Campbell, was installed February
25, 1875.
From a membership of nineteen, the church has grown to three liun-
dred and seventy-five, and sustain a Sabbath-school of nearly or cpiite two
hundred scholars.
The Third U. P. Church was organized in January, 1867, in the South
Ward school house, with forty members. A convenient house of worship
was built soon after, and Rev. J. M. Henderson was the first pastor, from
1868 to 1873. Rev. D. R. Inches then succeeded to the pastorate, and con-
tinued until the fall of 1876. Present number of members about forty.
In Sabbath school seventy. No pastor at present.

building owned by Mr. John Beck, one of the principal constituent mem-
bers. The presiding minister was Rev. — Dalstien, of Galesburg, who
labored here as his time and circumstances would allow, for some time.
Thev met in this room and in the court-house until the vear 1870, when
they erected their present house of worship, costing about $1,400. They
now number one hundred and twenty-five members, and control a Sunday-
school of fifty scholars. The pastor is liev. E. Peterson.
The Methodist Episcopal Church was organized over Daniel MclS^eil's
store in 1840. The trustees elected at the organization were : L. C Wood-
worth, Charh;s Cummings, Asa D. West, Alford Allen and Daniel McNeil.
Two years before this time the persons professing this belief had met for
divine worship in the same place, and as a result had gathered enough ad-
herents to form the society. Kev. K. G. Bergman was presiding elder at
the organization, and occasionally preached for them afterwards. In 1840,
they erected a house of worship. This was used until about the year 1857.
It was always known as the "Monmouth Chapel,'' being used for many
public meetings of various kinds. About this time, becoming too small
for the increasing congregation, it was removed and the present commodi-
ous edifice erected upon its site. The following is a partial list of the min-
isters of this church : Revs. C. Rowley, A. C. Price, J. P. Brooks, C.
Springer, J. S. Cummings, E. Wasmuth, A. Magee, P, Warner, J. G. Evans,
Wm. Underwood, L. Janes, and the present pastor, J. D. Smith, The
membership is now 275, and the attendance at Sunday-school 200.
The Baptist Church. This congi'egation occupy a very comfortable
house of worship, heated by furnaces and supplied with stained glass win-
dows. Several other churches in Monmouth have introduced these im-
prov^ements, which aid much in the convenience and appearance of the
buildings.
This congregation was organized in 1844 at the house of Benj.C. Ward,
with the following constituent members : Wm. F. Smith, Mrs. Geo. C.
Lamphere, Mr. and Mrs. John Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Benj. C. Ward, and
Mrs. Fry.
Their earliest meetings were held in the present court house, under
the ministry of Elder Bartlett, of Knoxville. For some time the services
were held in private houses, principally in a room over the store of Deacon
E. C. Babcock and in a room belono^ino- to Wm. F. Smith, on the southeast
corner of the Square. In 1848 the first house of M^orship was built upon
the present site, under the supervision of Elder Joseph Elliott and John
Babcock, at a cost of $3,300. In 186S it was remodeled and improved, at
an expense of $3,000, making the aggregate cost of the present striictnre
$6,300. The present membership of the society is 175. The church main-
tains a Sabbath school of 150 members and a Sunday school library of 250
volumes. The following are the names of the various pastors who have
served this church, in the order of their pastorates : Eld. Bartlett, Eld. Wil.
bur. Eld. Hovey, Eld. Monroe, Eld Levisee, Eld. Westorn, Eld. Joseph El-
liott, Eld. Brimhall, Eld. Erastus Minor, Eld. Newton, Eld. Anson Tucker,
Eld. Northrop, Eld. Tolman, Eld J. C. Miller, Eld. Wm. Bolton, Eld. H.
B. Foskett, and then the present incumbent Eld. Harry Taylor.
The First Presbyterian church of Warren county was organized in
1836, by Rev. Cyrus Riggs, and reported to the presbytery of Scliuyler, in
session at Macomb, in that year. This was the church that afterwards took
the name of "Fall Creek," and was dissolved by the presbytery and with their
HISTORY OF WAKREN COUNTY. 151
own consent, Angiist 26, 1S73. Its membersliip had run down to seven or
ei<^ht. and it was impossible to revive it.
The Presbyterian church of Monmouth was organized by Eev. L. G.
Bell, September I2d, 1837. At its organization there were sixteen mem-
bers, all of whom being members of the First Church of Warren county,
were dismissed to enter the new church. The new church had only occa-
sional sup])lies of preaching until September, 1839, when its first pastor
was settled. In the meantime services were held by Ilevs. L. G. Bell, ^[ich-
ael Ilamer, James StaflPord, Joseph J. Craig and W. K. Stewart, all of \vhom
are dead except Mr. Hammer and Mr. Craig. Rev. Bell moved to Iowa,
and in that new territory spent his time in organizing and fostering new
churches, until his death, some years ago. His remains were brought to
Monmouth for interment. liev. Stewart, another pioneer of the church,
died in Macomb, where he had been pastor for many ^^ears.
In October, 1839, Rev. Samuel Wilson, then laboring at Rushville, was
called to become pastor of the united churches of Monmouth and Fall
Creek, and he was installed by the presbytery then in session in this place.
This relation continued till August 15, 1847, when it was closed by his
death. At that time the church numbered sixty-seven members.
Until lsl:2 or 18-13 the church had no house, but worshipped in various
places ; sometimes in a store-room on the corner of Broadway and the
Square, now occupied by the Monmouth jSTational Bank building ; some-
times in a room in the old American House, that stood where Claycomb's
brick block now stands. J. F. Ilogue, one of the elders of the church, was
proprietor of the hotel. Sometimes the meetings M'ere held in the court
house, and it was at one of the meetings in the court house that Rev. Wil-
son was installed pastor.
On the 17th of April, 1842, Theodore Coburn and his wife deeded to
the church the lot on which the present building stands. On the lot a
small brick building was erected soon after the deed was given, and, becom-
ing insecure, was taken down in 1851.
In 1852 the present church building was erected, and some years ago
was enlarged to accommodate the growing congregation.
In the fall of 1851 Rev. R. C. Matthews, basing left the theological
seminary, prepared to preach, visited Burlington, Iowa, where he chanced
to become acquainted with a member of the church in Monmouth, and was
invited to come over the river and preach, the church having no minister
at that time. He came, and on the 20th of December, of that year, he
preached his first sermon in the court house. The old brick church had been
taken down and the new one was not finished, which was the reason for the
meeting being held in the court house of Monmouih. The next day a congre-
gational meeting was held, and the Doctor was invited to stay ^nd preach
three months, which he accepted, and divided his time between Monmouth,
Fall Creek and Xorth Henderson. On the 20th of March, 1852, he was
called to become pastor of the church, by the acting elders, Robert Grant,
James Dickson, Porter Phelps, A. C. Gregg and Hiram Xorcross. In
December, 1852, he was regularly installed pastor, and continued as such,
respected and beloved by his congregation and the entire community.
During his ministry he has welcomed into the church seven hundred
and eighteen members.
The Sunday school. In the fall of 1838 the pastor organized the Sunday
school and remained superintendent until 1840, when he was succeeded by
152 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
Hev. Sarn'l. Wilson, who occii])ied both positions until about 1846. Tlie num-
ber of scholars was from litteen to twenty, requiring the services of four or
five teachers. One of these latter, Mr, John Leeper .remained as teacher
about twenty-five years.
In the autumn of 1861 the board of instruction organized under the con-
stitution of the First Presbyterian church, and elected their officers. Tnat
year 95 scholars attended one day during the last quarter of the year, being
the greatest number of any one day. Twenty teachers were present. Dur-
ing 1862-3 and '-4,— especially during 1863, — the school and church en-
joyed a great season ot revival and largely increased ; 214 scholars and 29
"teachers are reported. On August 2d ttie school assembled for the first
time in the basement of the church. For the year ending January 21st,
1866, 375 were reported enrolled. The lessons were prepared by Dr. Mat-
thews.
This school has steadily maintained a good growth. It has largely con-
tributed of its members to the church, 225 of the scholars uniting therewith
since 1852. It has helped sustain a mission school, given freely to other
causes, and now is large and very prosperous. Four of its members have
gone out as ministers, two as elders, six as superintendents and forty as
teachers in the Sunday schools.
The Christian Church. The earliest meetings of this congregation
were held in the school house and in various halls in the (then) village.
On March 31st. 1839, they were organized into a church by Elders
Pliny Uatchett, Levi Hatchett and James R. Koss, Elijah Davidson was
chosen clerk of this meeting and the following persons united : Elijah and
Nancy Davidson, Hezekiah and Eleanor Davidson, Alex, and Rachel
Davidson, Wm. C. and Mrs. M. Hall, Wm. C. Butler and his wife Rebecca,
James Hodgson, Jacob L. and Xancy Bnzan, Amelia Ann Davidson, Solo-
mon S. Davidson, Wm. B. Davidson, Elizabeth Davidson and Thos. H.
Davidson, eighteen in all, of whom none are now members ; nearly all have
died or reram^cd. In 1840 they built their first house of worship, which
occupied a lot immediately north of the present Baldwin House. This
church was taken away after doing good service as a house of worship and
as school house, and, in the spring of 1861, the present building erected.
It is a very comfortable structure and cost $5,000. The number of mem-
bers is now 125, and the Sunday school approaching the same number.
Resident ministers engaged in Christian Church since the organization
in 1839 : Alexander Davidson, James E. Gaston, T. J. Mattock, J. W.
Butler, L. S. Wallace, John Errett, A. P. Aten, F. M. Bruner, T. V. Berry,
John Lagrange, J. M. Williams, Alex. Davidson, A. J. Cane, J. W. Errett,
S. S. AVallace and J. W. Butler are some of the pastors who have labored
here. The present occupant of the pulpit is Rev. F. M. Bruner.
African M, E. Church. Was organized in a hall on Main street about
ten years ago. There were twelve members, of whom Charles Knight,
Frances Price, Zachariah Price, Harriet Lee and A. II. Knight, who acted as
class leaders, M^ere the principal ones. In 1870 they erected a church cost-
ing about $800, which tliey yet occupy. There are now twenty-two mem-
bers and an attendance of fifteen scholars at the Sunday school.
xYfrican Baptist Church. Was organized at the residence of Mrs. JSIil-
ler, September 10th, 1866. There were but few members, the principal
ones being Henry McCord and wife, and B. Granger and wife.
A church was erected at the corner of East and Cherry streets, at an

e>rpense of ^1,500. It is still used. Their first pastor was Rev. J. C.
Graves. Since then they have been ministered to by Rev. J. H. Bandy
and others.
They have at present thirty-one members and a Sunday school of forty
scholars,
THE PRESS.
The Monmouth Atlas is the oldest newspaper published in this section
of tlie country. It was started in the year 1845 by C. K. Smith. E. S. Byron
and F. K. Smith were for a short time associated witli liiin m its manage-
ment, but through his labor and perseverance the paper became a valuable
contributor to the development of the country and its steady and prosper-
ous growth. The present senior proprietor, Jno. S. Clark, purchased the
establishment of Mr. Smith in 1857. In the fall of 1865 he sold an inter
est to J. H. Reed, who assisted in its management until May, 1869, when
Mr. R. was succeeded by Samuel S. Clark, and with an unimportant excep-
tion, the business has since been conducted by Jno. S. Clark & Son. In
their hands the establishment has increased to several times its dimensions
when ])urchased bv Mr. Clark, more than twenty vears a^o, and the circu-
lation of the paper has kept pace with the increase of population. Mr.
Geo. Rankin is now connected with the paper. The Atlas is recognized as
one of the leading and most prosperous Republican newspapers of the
State.
The Revieio was established in 1855 by the present editor and propri-
etor, Mr. A. H. Swain, who has been a practical printer since 1815, learning
his trade in Pennsj'lvania. He commenced the publication of the Revieio,
bringing his material with him, in an old brick building on Main street,
where he remained one year. At the expiration of that time he removed
his presses to Patterson's block on East street, where he published the paper
four years. lie then returned to Main street to a room in Carr's block,
where he published the paper until 1876, when he removed the office to its
present location in Kingsbury's block on Broadway. Mr. Svvain publishes
the official Democratic paj)er of the county, and since its commencement has
never missed a number.
THE MONMOUTH COLLEGE,
Originated with the members of the Second Associate Reformed Pres-
bytery of Illinois, in a desire to provide means for affi^rding a Christian
education to the youth of the church in the West, and to raise up properly
qualified candidates for the ministry. Hence this Presbytery organized an
academy at Monmouth. In 1855, it determined to raise it to the rank of a
college, and appointed a board of trustees, who elected a president and two
professors, and arranged for the opening of the college in September, 1856.
In this movement Rev. J. C. Porter and Rev. R. Ross were among the
most active. At the date fixed for opening, the building then in process of
erection not being ready, the college was opened in the public school house,
which is now occupied as a residence by Mr. Cowen, and stands on West
avenue, east side, the third house from Broadway.
At a meeting of the Associate Reformed Synod of Illinois, held in
Keokuk, Iowa, October, 1856, the college was transferred to that Synod by
the Presbytery. The Synod, in a series of resolutions, affirmed the princi-
154 HISTORY OF WABREN COUNTY.
pies according to wliicli it intended the college to be conducted, and ap
pointed trnstees. x\fter the consummation of the union constituting the
United Presbyterian Church, the care and supervision of the college passed
to the Synod of Illinois of that body. In 1868, the Synod of Iowa united
with the Synod of Illinois in the maintenance and control of the college.
"When the Synod of Kansas was organized out of the Synod of Illinois, it
continued to share with the Synod of Illinois its res])onsibilities to the col-
lege. In 1874 a plan of union was agreed ujion by the synods above named
with the Second Synod of the West, in accordance with which it also became
a part of the constituency of the college. The synods now comprised in
this union are the Second Synod of the West, and the Synods ot Illinois,
Iowa and Kansas. These synods contain 244 ministers, 317 churches, and
over 20,000 communicants.
The original act of incorporation was approved Feb. 16, 1857. It cre-
ated the board of trustees, a body corporate and politic by the name and
style of "The Monmouth College," and gave them customary powers. It
vested in the Associate Reformed Synod of Illinois the power of appointing
three-fourths of the trustees, and in the trustees themselves one-fourth. An
act was signed Feb. 18, 1859, so amending the original act as to give to the
" United " Presbyterian Synod of Illinois the poM^ers before vested in the
Associate Reformed Synod. The charter was furtlier amended in 1869,
after the union of the Synod of Iowa with the Synod of Illinois in the man-
agement of the college. The charter, as amended, adjusted the government
of the college to its new relations, and provided for the admission of other
bodies to its constituency.
The first college building was erected on the block of land donated by
Hon. A. C. Harding, located in the northwest section of the city of Mon-
mouth. It was about 40x60 feet, two stories, and contained a chapel and
eight rooms. In 1860, Messrs. A. Y. and D. Graham donated to the col-
lege ten acres situated on Broadway, in the eastern part of the city, together
with one-sixth of the remainder of the quarter of which it was a part. The
board immediately took measures to erect on the proffered site anew build-
ing suited to ihe growing wants of the college. The work commenced in
1861, and on the 12th day of May, 1863, the professors and students took
possession of the building. It is 50x80 feet, three stories high above the
basement, and contains eighteen rooms. It cost, including furniture and
fences, about $20,000. In 1875 it was found that this building was too
small for the wants of the college, and steps were taken for the erection
of an addition, 50x60, on the north side of the old building, at a cost of
about $14,000. It is now finished. It is three stories high above the base-
ment, of the same style of architectui-e as the old, and will contain a chapel
and eight other rooms in addition to those in the basement. The enlarged
structure will iurnish ample accommodations for the wants of the college.
The preparatory classes below the sub-Freshman are heard in the
original college building known as the academy.
The first attemjit to endow the college was made on the Scholarship
system. The original scholarship entitled the purchaser to the perpetual
tuition of one student. It cost $100. The purchaser could pay cash for it
or give his note bearing 6 per cent, interest per annum. Afterwards the
sale of this class of scliolarships was stop])ed, and a new one oHered, enti-
tling to 20 years tuition, for $100 in cash, or for a note bearing intcrst at the
rate of ten per cent, per annum. Subsequently it was determined to sell

no more scholarships at this rate. In lieu thereof, for every one hundred
dollars, scrip was issued entitling to tuition, at current rates, to the amount
of $200, payable one-tenth annually. Again this pl«n was modified by
giving scrip for the sum donated, dollar for dollar, entitling to tuition to
the amount of the face of it, at the rates current at the time of the sale.
Many thousands of dollars were thus secured. Finally, however, all these
schemes were abandoned, because the education promised by the college
cost it more than the principal and interest of the money paid for the
scholarship amounted to. Endowment on this principle was found to be
impossible! In 1871, it was determined to solicit donations, without any
tuition in turn, for the Endowment fund. On this ])]an over $75,000 have
been secured, which is being collected and invested in bonds secured by
mortgage or real estate, and bearing interest at the rate of ten per cent,
per annum. A few thousand dollars have also been secured by the sale of
a perpetual scholarship for $1,000.

HISTORY OF WAEREN COUNTT. 161
EOSEYILLE.
Truman Eldridge, who now' occupies one of the most inviting farms
and liomes witliin the Corporation, came, in 1836, from Hancock, Mass., and
took 240 acres, a part of which is embraced in the northwest portion of
the village. Shortly after he returned to his home and spent two years, and
in 1838 returned, and in 1839 built a home and commenced the improve-
ment of his land. In 1818 he took up, at the government price, 80 acres
more, directly north, and in 1850 bought 160 acres more, embracing the
nort]iea5.t portion of the Corporation. The southeast quarter section was
bought thirty-four years ago by Solomon Sovereign, and thirty years ago
the southwest by John Reeves. The Corporation, one mile square, laid out
in streets at right angles, embraces equal portions of these four quarter
sections.
The first store was opened on a small scale by John Adams, in 1856, a
little south of where it now stands, on the southwest corner of Penn ave-
nue and Main street. The brick building owned by E. Pierce occupies its
original site. Soon N. W. Baker succeeded John Adams, and not long after,
Dally and Arter, and these were succeeded by E. P. Emans, who now owns
and occupies a two story frame on the northwest corner.
The tirst township meeting was held in the old Union Church, on
April 1, 1851. Truman Eld ridge presided at the meeting, and at its close
the first township officers we'.e chosen.
Until the advent of the C. B. & Q. Railroad, almost all the produce
was taken to Oquawka there to be shipped to St. Louis by tlie Mississippi
River. When the railroad was completed trade was changed to Monmouth,
and a local trade was started in Roseville.
New Lancaster and Elliston, a few miles west, were enjoying quite a
local trade, which continued until 1870. During the summer of this year,
the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Railroad was completed through the
county. This was the beginning of the prosperity of Roseville. It was
now properly platted and the plat recorded by John A. Gordon, in the
name of Mr. Eidridge and others of the most active residents, and an active
trade at once opened.
The stores and shops at J^ew Lancaster were moved here, and the town
from being a " corners," as it was commonly called, rapidly arose to a
"town," with its attendant privileges. Mr. John A. Gordon opened the
depot and held the position several years.
Mr. Eidridge gave several lots to those who would erect shops or stores
thereon, not a few of which liberal ofiers were accepted.
On May 8, 1871, the town had attained a population of 511 inhabitants,
and was incorporated. Since then the population has increased to nearly
900. In 1856, Mr. James G. Reed located at the school house, about a mile
east of the village. Here he commenced work as a blacksmith. Shortly
after, he removed his shop to Roseville, where he added to his small shop a
room about sixteen by twenty-four feet.
He soon purchased an engine to aid him in his rapidly growing trade,
and increased the number of his employes. About a year ago the present
firm was organized, and a still further increase in the buildings and machin-
ery made. Their speciality is windmills, plows and tongueless cultivators.
Quite a number of shops are maintained, good stores, one bank and an
excellent flouring mill.

THE SCHOOLS.
The earliest attempts to educate the youth of this community was made
in a small log school house, about one mile south of the site of the village.
The frame school house east of town was next built. At its location there
was a shop and small store, and the residents entertained some hopes of
securing a town here. School was maintained here until a few years ago,
when it was removed to town and the present edifice constructed. It is a
two story building, capable of accommodating two hundred scholars; 156
are now in attendance. Three teachers are employed.
THE CHURCHES.
The Oongregationalist Church was organized November 15, 1851, by
President Blanchard, then of Galesburg. and consisted of eleven members,
whose names were Stephen and Phoebe DtWey, "William and Mary D^lley,
David and Elizabeth Tuttle, Mrs. Elizabeth Axtell, and Miss Eunice Rob-
inson. Four years after the organization they erected the present church
building, at an expense of $3,000 dollars. The lumber was brought from
Oquawka. Some time after, they erected the parsonage, worth $2,000. Rev.
Asa Martin commenced his labors here, at a salary of $120 per year, in
1851, and remained one year. He was succeeded by Rev. J. A. Rodgers,
the first installed pastor, who remained until 1858. He is now president of
Berean College, Kentucky. Rev. A. R. Mitchell was called to succeed him,
and occupied the pulpit until 1861. He was followed by Rev, Alfred Morse,
who remained three years and was succeeded by Rev. Cyrus H. Eaton, from
1861: to 1867. Then Rev. Arthur E. Arnold filled the pulpit until 1868.
From that date until the early part of 1877 the pulpit was occupied by
Rev. J. D. Wykofi". The present pastor, Rev. R. A. Wood, has just lately
been installed.
The membership is now 100, the attendance at Sunday-school 75.
The Baptist Church was organized in 1852 by Rev. S. G. Miner. It
now numbers 175 members and 100 Sunday-school scholars. The organ-
ization was perfected in a school house, about one mile east of the present
site of the town, with about 25 members. When the school house was
erected in town, they used it for divine worship until they erected their
present church. It cost about $2,000 dollars.
The following have been some of the pastors of this charch : Elders
Joseph Elliott, Morse and J. D. Kent. The present pastor is E. C.
Cady.
The Methodist Episcopal Church is the outgrowth of a class of some
half dozen members organized in 1839, who were Solomon Sovereign and
wife, John Jared, Sr. and wife, Mrs. Sisson, Mrs. Welty, Mrs. Kirk})atriek.
Thev held their first meetings in Jared's school house, about three miles
southeast of Roseville. In the fall of 18-1:1, and until the spring of 1842,
the meetings were held in Josiah Kirkpatrick's house, about two and a half
miles south of Roseville. They were then held at Solomon Sovereign's
house, now used for a hotel by Eli Gilbert, opposite the depot. The nieet-
in(>-s were held in tliis h(»use until the first school house was built. This
served as a sanctuaiy until the present church and parsonage were built in
1867, at a cost of $5,500. This class, in its infancy, formed one of the ap-
pointments on the Aquawka circuit, which included all of what is now

T. Allen the present energetic pastor under whose labors the past winter
seventy-live members have been added to the church, making the present
membership one hundred and seventy-seven, with a Sabbath school of one
hundred scholars.
The Christian Church was organized in 1859, or 1860, with about
25 members. There are now more than double that number, and a Sunday-
school of nearly 50 scholars. In 1871 they erected a comfortable church,
costing about $1,500. Their parsonage is worth about $800. The Rev.
George L. Brackan is the present pastor.
The Lutheran Churcli, composed mostly of Swedes, comprises a mem-
bership of 35. They were organized into a body ecclesiastic February 26,
1876, with 26 members, and on October 29, following, dedicated their
present house of worship. Rev. G. Wiberg occupies the pul])it, minister-
ing part of his time irt other places. The Sunday-school numbers about
25 scholars.
The Union Baptist Church was organized in 1841 or '5 in an old
school house. It was used for some time for both purposes, and in it the
first township meetings were held.
The members had belonged to the Berwick Church and ortjanized
here, this being a more central location.
They have now a very comfortable church and sustain a regular meeting.
Talbott's Creek Christian Church was organized about 1838-9, and for
some time included the Cameron and Alexis members.
Joseph Murphy and L. S. Wallace were among the first elders. John
E. Murphy, Thos. Wallace, Wm. Wallace, Wm. Murphy and AYm. Hop-
per, with their families, were among the constituent members. John E.
Murphy was the pioneer preacher among them. Thos. Griffith and Henry
Bruner, father of the present pastor of Monmouth Churcli, were also
early members. Their present church was erected near David Warren, an
old member, and one who helped the church in its early trials. They occu-
pied this building until 1855 or '6, when a house of worship was erected at
an expense of $2,000, which they still occupy. They have a meml^ership
of about one hundred, and sustain a Sunday school of about the same num-
ber. Rev. D. D. Miller, pastor at Cameron, preaches here. This congre-
gation has sent out several colonies, which are now large and growing
churches.
TuE Press. — Two weekly papers are sustained here. Wilson's Weekly,
the vounger, was started about eijjht months since bv the Wilson brothers,
two quite young men, and is already enjoying a good circulation. It is a
good local paper, and a very creditable enterprise.

KIRKAVOOD
Is pleasantly located on the C, B. & Q. R. R. twenty-one miles east
from Burlington, la. In the year 1836 five families had located in this
township, as follows : Samuel Hanna, Z. M. Davis, James Gibson, R.
Tinkham, Benjamin Tompkins, after whom the township was named. Prior
to the building of the railroad through this county, settlement was slowly
made in this region, but on the completion of the road, in 1855, new life
was infused and business sprang up as if by magic. In the year 1851 Da-
vid Irvine laid out the original villao-e of Kirkwood to which two additions
have been made, called Quinby's additions.
For many years a brisk trade has been carried on here, especially in
grain, which has hardly been surpassed by any town on any railroad lead-
ing to Chicago. The village was incorporated in 1805, and the following
were the first Trustees : O. Lanphere, J. L. Batcheler, J. Iv. Cummings,
A. Carmichael and J. B. Sofield. The present board is, T. F. Lowther,
Geo. Kellogg, A. C. Yan Riper, L. Rapalee, Wm. McCoy, W. K. and .1. H.

ship 975.
CHURCHES.
The Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood was organized in 1856, and
was first called South Henderson Church. Meetings were first held in a
school house about two miles southwest of town. A committee had been
appointed by Schuyler Presbytery to assist in the formation of the church.
This committee was Rev. J. H. Kevins, P. C. Matthews, D. D., and Elders
Hiram Norcross and James Boggs. At the organization there were
twenty-six members, " of whom many have fallen to sleep, but a few re-
main unto this day." The first elders were Jacob Ackerman, Alex. M.
Ilervey and JS'athan Carr. Of these. Fathers Carr and Ackerman yet live,

ter date Rev. J. W. Ash began his labors here, and was the regular supply for
two years. Then Rev. J. W. Allen was here for two years, and dni-ing his
administration a new and commodious church was built, 40 by 65 feet, and
cost $11,000. In 1870 Rev. G. N. Johnson supplied for six months. Then
Rev. J. Jrl. Marshall was stated supply for two and a half years. The pres-
ent minister, Rev. E. W. Thompson, is the only installed pastor the church
has ever had. He l)egan his labors here in 1874. The first house of wor-
ship built by this Church was a small frame structure, 20 by 30 feet, in the
south part of town, in 1858. For two or three years it was occupied by
the M. E. congregation on alternate Sabbaths. This was afterwards sold to
the Roman CathoHcs and moved ofi" the lot. In 186S the present church
was erected, and is an eleo^ant jjothic structure. It M'as thorouofhlv refitted

DEXNY.
This is one of the earliest settled locations in this countv. L. P. Rock-
well and Jonathan Bufi'im came here on a prospecting tour in 1830 from
Ashtabula county, Ohio, and found Adam Ritchie located in a small block
house on the hill. This had been built by Ritchie in the previous year.
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTr. 167
Rockwell and BufFiin bought his claim of 160 acres, having upon it a
mill site on Cedar Creek. Thev remained here durinij; the winter of 1830
and '31, and engaged in building a saw-mill, the first in the county.
They returned in the fall to Ohio, and in xlpril, 1832, they set sail with
their families and some others on a rafr down the Ohio river. They start-
ed from AVarren county, Pa., and were four weeks on the raft in reaching
Cincinnati. Here, after much delay, they took passage on a steamboat for
St. Louis, and on arriving there found the same boat was going to Beards-
town, and so continued their journey lo this point. From this latter place
they went by ox teams to Canton, and then to their new homes on Cedar
Creek. They added another block house near the first and built a stockade for
fort. The nearest mill or postoffice was about seventy miles distant. Soon,
however, the postoffice was established at this point and was first called
Cedar Creek Postoffice, and in 1851 the name was changed to Denny at
Waslmigton. In the spring of 1832 IJockwell and Bufi'un rented their
saw-mill to Chester Potter, who was also from Ashtabula county, Ohio. He
added a small pair of burrs for grinding wheat and corn. These mill-
stones were only twelve and a half inches in diameter, but did the grinding
for a large scope of country. Tney were made by Potter from a Granite
Boulder or " Nigger-head" found on the prairie in this county. Potter,
however, continued here only one year, when he moved to Kelly Tp. and
set up a mill for himself on Henderson Creek. Buifun sold out his inter-
est to Rockwell September 21st, 1832, and went to Fulton county, after-
wards to Rock Island. On the 8th of August, 1835, L. P. Rockwell and D.
G. Baldwin entered into agreement to build a large flouring mill, which re-
sulted in the erection of the present Rockwell Mills. The first P. M. here
was J. Buff'un, one year ; then L. P. Rockwell for about twenty years. He
died in 1860. The first school was in 1831 — teacher. Miss Betsy Hopper.
There is not a more pleasant location in thi:; county than Denny.
LITTLE YORK.
This vicinity was first settled in 1829, and was among the earliest in
this county.
Among those who first came here were : Matthew D. Ritchie, Otho
W. Craig, William McCoy, Hugh Martin, Sr., and others. Much fear
and some trouble was experienced from the Indians by the early settlers.
A roving band of those desperadoes were skulking along the timber on Cedar
Creek, on the 9th day of August, 1832, when five of their number rushed
out, shot and scalped "VVilliam Martin, who was at work alone putting up
hay. A block house had been built as a kind of fort, where persons and
families resorted in time of supposed danger. Several women and children
were at the fort at this time, and heard the shots, saw Martin fall, and the
Indians run to him, shoot again, and seal]) him. The news spread rapidly,
and caused great alarm among the inhabitants. Martin had been at the
fort but a short time previous, was cautioned by the women about working
alone, though it was not known that any Indians were in the vicinity. He
returned to his work singing a favorite tune.
The block house stood a few rods east from where now stands the pleasant
residence of Hugh Martin, brother of AVilliam, and he was killed about
eighty miles north. His body was not recovered until the next morning,
168 mSTOET OF WABEEN COUNTY.
aud when examined, it was found that the last shot was made so near as to
burn his clothing.
A company of Rangers followed the trail of the Indians as far as Kew
Boston, where tliey were just in time to see them in their canoes, nearly
across the Mississipi)i river. They fired upon them, but did not avail to
stop then-.
An account of the trial of these murderers is given in another part of
this work.
The village of Little Rock was laid out in 1835 by William McCoy and
M. D. Ritchie. James Kendall opened the first store in this vicinity, at
the block house in 1833, and after his death, in the next year, his widow
moved the goods to a building on the site of the village, and continued in
the trade. This she sold to Arthur McFarland, who soon sold to J. F. Pol-
lock, and he had a prosperous trade there for many years. He was the
first P. M. for nearly twenty years. The first school was in 1837, taeght by
Peter Turpening. At the present time there is a good school house and a
good bell, with pleasant grounds ornamented with trees.
The principal merchants are Messrs. Wallace & Morrison, general
merchandise. There are two harness shops, three blacksmith shops, one
wagon shop, and a boot and shoe shop.
This village is located in a thriving and industrious farming commun-
ity, and is in Sumner Township, twelve miles northwest from Monmouth.
The U". P. Church of Little York was organized April 19th, 1863, by
Rev. John Scott, D. D., of the Presbytery of Monmouth. At the formation
of this church there were forty-one members from the U. P. churches of
Cedar Creek and Henderson. The first pastor was Rev. Wm. H. McMillan.
ordained and installed Oct. 1, 1864, who continued his labors for six years.
The next pastor was Rev. W. T. Campbell, ordained and installed June 13,
1871, and continued four years. The present pastor is Rev. David Ander-
son, who began his work here in October, 1875. This congregation own a
pleasant and commodious house of worship, which cost $1,000, and a con-
venient parsonage, recently built at a cost of $2,000. Tlie present number
of members is 130.
ALEXIS
This village, though bearing the same name as the royal prince, is not a
Russian Town. It was first called Alexandria and recently abbreviated to
its present name for convenience. It is situated twelve miles north and
east from Monmouth, and was laid out in Nov., is 70, by Robert Holloway
and J. E. Alexander upon land owned by them. The first Iiousb was moved
to the Town site Nov. 20, 1870, and upon the first train North on the Rock-
ford, Rock Island and St. Louis R. R., J. E. Alexander moved his goods,
and established the station. He has held the office of Station and Express
Agent since the opening of the Raih-oad. The books of the Co. show that
from this point there has been shipped 5(t0 cars of stock in a year, and, soine-
times 140 cars of grain per month. The growth of the town has been rapid,
and although a swee])ing fire in Jan., 1S77, destroyed nine business houses,
new buildings are rising to take their place, showing the confidence there is
in the stability of the town.
There are four general stores, five groceries, two drug stores, two hard-
ware and agricultural implements, one book and stationery store, two black-

smith shops, one flouring mill, one macliine shop, two himber yards and two
hotels.
A fine two story school house was built in 1874, cost $2,600, and the
schools are well graded, Superintendent, C. Galloway. The number of
children by examination of Sept., 1876, was 384.
The first village Trustees came intooflice July 2s, ls73, and their names
are as follows: John C. Blaney, Prest.; A G. Talbot, (). E. Bugbee, O. G.
Chapman, James Loveridge, Daniel Churchill; John Douglas, Clerk, Chas,
E. Johnson, Treasurer. — -The present Board is Peter Bogue, Prest.; Daniel
Churchill, Hiram Ingersoll, James H.Shaw, Robert Knox, W. W. (xraham;
Thos. B. Patterson, Clerk; Chas. E. Johnson Treas., and W. H. Brown
Police Magistrate. The total population is about 7U0.
PRESS.
Mr. James Everett started the Alexis Journal -aX this ])lace in 1874.
He had originally intended to make it an eiglit column, four page paper :
but from some cause cut it down to seven columns, four pages, in which
form the first number ap])eared, on February 13. 1874. and was continued
imtil the close of volume three, in 1S77. Mr. Everett retired from its man-
agement in August. 1876, having sold the office to Dr. Chaffee. At the
close of V(»lume three, the prospect of its future seemed very gloomy, and
it was decided to discontinue its ])ublieation. A few weeks later, having
received sufficient encouragement, the Dr. concluded to resume, but decided
to make a change in the name and style of the paper; accordingly the name
was changed to The Alexis Index, and the size of the sheet enlarged to a
five column, eight pages, a change which the ])roi)rietor feels assured was
fully warranted, and is duly a])preciated by the peo])le. Its circulation and
influence is steadily increasing, although its local advertising patronage has
been materially cut down by the recent fire, and stringency of the times;
still, the office is doing a fair business, remunerative toitsownei', and much
of its loss of local advertising is compensated for by its Monmouth patron-
age.

HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 171
number of members is about seventy. This congregation own alarge hosue
of worship costing about $4,000 and a ffood parsonage with three acres of
ground.
The Cliurch of God is located in southeast quarter of Sec. 10, Spring
Grove townsliip. It was organized in 1865 by lie v. Rudolph White, and
the earliest meetings were held in the school house in district No. 4.
Among the original members were Jehu Bailey and wife. D. C. Swiller,
Avife and three children, John Cannon and wife, and others. The church
was built in 1867 and cost $1,600. The present pastor is Kev. Thos. De-
Shiria. Membership about twenty-five and Sabbath school the same ; John
Simcox, Superintendent.
LENOX
Was laid out by C. C. Dixon in 1872, who owned the farm on which the
village is platted. He had settled here in 1831:, at a time when there was
but one house between his and Monmouth, then containing but four or five
houses.
No village was thought of until the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis
railroad was contemplated. The company guaranteed the location of a
depot to some ten or twelve residents who were active in securing the right
of way through the township. Foremost among them was C. C. Dixon and
J. W. Bridenthal. These located the station on t!ie present site and Mr.
Dixon at once took steps to lay out the town. The village plat and farm
were afterwards purchased by Mr. Bridenthal, the present owner. Mr. T.
H. Norwood opened the first store and the post ofiice in the dwelling
of Henry Redout, Shortly after John Ilodgen and John Young erected the
present store room occupied by Mr. Young and Graham. One or two ad-
ditional stores have been opened and a good carriage and wagon shop is now
in operation.
A large quantity of grain is shipped from this point. For the year 1876
331 car loads of grain were shipped. In addition to this, 70 car loads of
live stock were sent to market.
The town and post office were given the name of Lenox. As there was
a Station North of Monmouth by that name. Until it vras discontinued,
the village and office was called Lenox Station.
SCHOOLS.
One of the oldest district schools in the township is located here. As
soon as the school population ot the community warranted the erection of
a house, a small structure was built. This was used with an occasional en-
largement and repair, until 1876, when the present structure, one of the
best in the township, was erected.
The attendance is now about forty scholars, which require the services
of one teacher.
CHURCHES.
For several years past a Presbyterian church was maintained. About
twelve years since through the effort of Mr. Dixon, who donated a lot, a
comfortable house of worship was erected, and atone time quite a congrega-
tion had grown up, and regular preaching was sustained. Owing to re.
172 HISTORY OF WAEKEN COUNTY.
movals and other causes has so diminished the church that the organization
was disbanded, the remaining members going to Monmouth or to other
churches. The Methodists now occupy the church but as yet have no or-
ganization.
GEKLAW.
This village has a pleasant location. It was laid out as a town site May
2, 1871, on land owned by R. AV. Gerlaw, after whom it bears its name. It
is situated in the N. W. quarter of Section 34. Spring Grove township, and is
on the Kockford, E.ock Island R. R. six miles north from Monmouth.
A. A. Elder opened the first store in Sept., 1871. James Webster some-
time after, built a large store, with a fine hall in second story. A brisk trade
has been carried on here, considering its nearness to the county seat. The
books of the R. R. Co. show that the shipment of stock has reached more
than 200 cars in a single year. Yery little grain is shipped from this point,
as all is needed by feeders of stock.
The Christian church was organized in 1858, by Rev. L. S. Wallace,
and a house of worship was built about about two miles north east from the
town at a cost of $950. This building was moved to the town site in 187-1,
and was thoroughly repaired. Among the first members were J. T. Gilmore
and wife, R; W. Lair and wife, B. F. Gardner and wife and others. The
present membership is about forty. No pastor.
CAMERON
Was laid out by Robert Cameron, Feb. 22, 1854, and was for some time
known as Cameronville. His plat included the south west part of the town
lying south of the railroad. Charles AYaste laid out a portion directly east
of this, and north and west of this, across the railroad in CoLibrook town-
ship. Quinby's addition was soon after made.
A. B. Hawkins was the first merchant in town. His store stood directly
east of Isaac Wilson's shop in a now vacant lot.
Owen C. Waste and Smith & Skinner of Galesburg opened stores
soon after, and for some time a fine trade was engaged. Mr. Hawkins had
previously kept a store in Coldbrook, but as soon as the C. B. & Q. R. R.
was completed and Cameron platted he removed his store and goods to that
place. Nearly all the business of Cold Brook was brought to Cameron at
this and latter dates.
The town has always been small, but a good trade is steadily maintained.
A good number of stores and shops are now in successful operation, and
enjoying a good patronage.
SCHOOLS.
The first district school house was built south of the railroad, and was
the first house erected on the village plat. There being two districts, (the
railroad being the dividing line between the township of Cold Brook and
Floyd,) in 1871, these were consolidated into one, and the present two story
building erected.
It will accommodate 100 pupils, the attendance being now eighty-five.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
This is the oldest congregation of this denomination. It was organized
in 1831. Tlieir earliest meetings were held in private houses and in the
school house. At this time they were at Cold Brook.
Some of their Elders were John G. Ilalev, Elijah Davidson and Wm.
Whitman. Levi Ilatchett, John E, Murphy and L. 8. Wallace were some of
the earliest ministers.
A house of worship was built in Cold Brook in 1839. The congregation
continued to meet here until 1854 or '5 when they removed to Cameron and
there erected their present church, costing about $3,000. A portion of the
congregation went near the present town of Alexis, where they have now a
stronoj church. About 1851 or '2 Elder R. R. Halev and Deacon John E.
Murphey, with some thirty members went to Monmouth, Oregon, where
thev formed the nucleus of a hiro;e and flourishine: cono^reo^ation. Josiah
Whitman, S. T. Sheton and Henry E. Haley were chosen to fill the offices
made vacant by those removing to Oregon.
The Cameron congregation have now aboat 125 members and sustain a
Sunday school of 70 scholars. Rev. D. D. Miller is the present pastor.
THE M. E. CIIUKCH.
In the fall of 1856, ministers of this denomination commenced services
in the school house, and soon thereafter organized the church.
Some twelve or fifteen persons united. Among them were Mr. and Mrs.
Watt, Mr. and Mrs. Porterfield, Frank Moi-ey, Benj. Tinkham, Mrs. Fox,
Mrs. Gay and Mary Gay. Rev. Fisher presided at the organization.
In 1857, they erected their present church edifice, which is now in-
adequate to the wants of the congregation and will soon be replaced b}^ a
a commodious house.
The growth of the congregation has been slow, and at no time has the
membership been large. The number now is about forty.
The First Baptist Church at this place was organized June 30th, 1866,
and its first meetinsrs were held in the district school house with an orio-i-
nal membership of nine persons, which has increased to sixty-five, and a
Sunday school of &ixtj.
The present church was built in 1869 at a cost of $3,200. The pastors
have been the Revs. Wm. AVhitehead, Jno. Bolton, W. R. Welch, E. L.
Corfield and J. R. Pennington. Their present pastor is Rev G. D. Kent.
SWAK CREEK.
The settlement in this localit}^ dates back to about 1837. A post-office
has been maintained here since that date.
As soon as the railroad was completed, steps were taken to establish a
depot here, but although the company would stop their trains, they would
not build a switch or erect the necessary buildings until the residents had
raised $1,000. This was secured mainly through the efforts r>f Mr. George
Worden, one of the earliest residents and who had keej) a store since Decem-
ber, 1856, in a building opposite his dwelling. It is now used as a dwelling
and harness shop. Mr. Worden laid out the town April 15, 1871, and soon
176 HISTORY OF WAKREN COUNTY.
after Eev. W. C. Romine opened a store. He is now in Eoseville. B.
Ra^in and Aaron Burr, opened stores about this time and have steadily up-
held their trade. There are now three or four good stores, the same number
of shops, a good mill and elevator.
A large amount of shipping is done from this point. Before the com-
pletion of the railroad in ISTO, this was taken to Oquawka and to Prairie
City, where nearly all trading at this time was done.
Kow the produce is shipped to Chicago and St. Louis.
SCHOOLS.
A good school has always been held here. In 1876, a large comfortable
house was erected, which is a credit to the town. About lifty scholars are
daily in attendance.
CHURCHES.
Tlie Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in 1872 and '3. The
earliest meetina;s were held in the school house, a little north of the vil-
lage. Those "\Adio took part in these meetings were Austin A. Cornell, An-
drew J. Sisson, Nancy J. Sisson, Rufus K. Sisson, Mary E. Sisson, Bur-
well Booth, Anna M. Phillips. These had been members of the M. E.
Church at Pleasant Mound, six miles southeast of Swan Creek, except Bur-
well Booth who had been a member of the M. E. Church at Point Pleas-
ant. In 1873 a church was built at a cost of $2,000. Rev. C. B. Conch
served from 1872 till September, 1871. He was followed by Rev. J. "W.
Coe, who served till September, 1876. Their present pastor. Rev. K. T.
Allen, was appointed September, 1876. Twenty-six members have been
added to the church the past winter, the result of a revival under the leader-
ship of the present pastor and the earnest efforts of the members. There
are now sixtv-one members and a thriving Sabbath school of eightv schol-
ars.
YOUNGSTOWN
Was laid out by the Kidder family and others in the spring of 1872.
The first store was opened by H. V. Simmons in a building erected by
C. AY. Mapes. The building is now occupied by Wm. Miner. One or two
other stores have since been erected. One or two shops are now in operation.
The town plat was, until 1872, the farm of the Kidder family, and when
the plat was surveyed and a station established, before one was allowed at
Swan Creek, as the railroad company objected to two depots so closely to-
gether. This latter objection was, however, overruled by the energy of the
citizens along the hue.
Youngstown supports a good local trade, and is the shipping point for
all farm produce from this locality.
SCHOOLS.
Schools has been held in the district school house many years. An effort
is now being made to add an additional room and grade the school. This
will promptly be carried out in a year or so,

EIGHTY-THIBn INFANTRY,
The Eighly-Third Infantry Illinois Volunteers was organized at Monmouth, Ills., in August, 1862, by Col. A.
C. Harding, and mustered in August 21. Moved from camp August 25, via Burlington and St. Louis to Cairo,
arriving 29th, and reporting to Brigadier General Tuttle, commanding post. Sept. 3d moved to Fort Henry and
on the 5th, leaving two companies at Fort Heiman and three at Fort Henry, moved to Fort Donelson, where the
headqu arters of the regiment remained during the year ; Colonel \V. W. Lowe, 5th Iowa Calvary, commanding
brigade.
The companies from Forts Henry and Heirnan subsequently rejoined the regiment, and it remained at Fort
Donelsjn until Sept. 20, 1863, when the right wing moved to Clarksville. The regiment had heavy guard duty to
pcrlorm, and as the whole country, especially the banks of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, were infested
with guerrilas, had daily skirm shes with the enemy, some of them quite severe as at Waverly (Tenn essee) and at
Garreisburg (Kentucky) where the lamented General Ransom, then colonel of the Eleventh Illinois, had command.
On the 3d Feb. 1863, at Fort Donelion, nine companies of the Eighty-thirl with Company C, Second Illinois
Light Artillery, successfuly resisted the attack of Forrest and Wheeler, with eight thousand men, the battle lasted
from 1:30 p. m. until 8:30 p. m. when the enemy were compelled to retire with a loss of eight hundred killed and
wounded. The loss ot the Regiment was 13 killed and 51 wounded. Colonel Harding was promoted to Brigadier
General for gallant conduct en this occasion and Lieutenant Colonel A. A. Smiih to Colonel. While at Clarksville,
the Regiment was engaged in several expeditions under Major General L. H. Ros-eau,_in pursuit of Forrest and
Wheeler who were attempting the destruction of General Sherman's lommunications.
During the year 1864, the Regiment had some two hundred miles of communications to guard, and mueh
heavy p.itrol duty. During the winter of 1864-5 'he Eighty third was on provost duty at Nashville, Tennessee.
On the 26th June, 1865. was mustered out at Nashville and moved for Chicago, Ills., Brevet Brigadier General
Arthur A. Smith commanding, where it received final pay and discharge.
