Notes:

(Research):FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO MISSOURI 1819

The Revolutionary War was over, Thomas Jefferson had purchased the Louisiana Territory from France. First there were exploring parties, then the establishment of forts, missions, and settlements. Lewis and Clark ascended the Missouri River in the summerof 1804. Zebulos M. Pike explored parts of Kansas and Nebraska two years later. A scientific expedition under Major Stephen H. Long came up the Missouri, in the first steamboat to enter the country, in 1819.
The War of 1812 took the English and Indians out of the territory which is now Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The Indians that were left were being pushed West onto reservations. Settlement of the Louisiana Territory was the issue of the day. Spain and France had tried to settle it for the past 100 years but were unsuccessful.
There was a trail west from the Carolina and Virginias through the Cumberland Gap, on through Tennessee and Kentucky that Daniel Boone, Simon Kenton and others had established before the Revolutionary War. It went on to cross the Ohio River close to where it joined the Mississippi, To cross the Mississippi the trail led to Moccasin Springs, where Mr. Green ran the ferry that took you across the river. The Trail of Tears State Park is there now.

Mitchell Fleming, James Stevenson, Zenos Ross, Robert McFarland, Anderson Mitchell. Mr. Querry, Thomas Wilson, J. Wallace, John Garner, ____ Hill, and Phillip Clodfelter all came to the Louisiana Territory over that trail. Whether they were all in the same wagon train or in different groups, I don't know. There were lots of wagon trains going west at that time. As history goes, some traveled on Sunday and some didn't. Any way, they all settled within walking distance (at that time) of each other. I do know that Phillip Clodfelter came alone.

SETTLED IN CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY, MISSOURI

The territory was was settling up fast. The county seat was moved from Cape Girardeau to Jackson in 1815. The north end of Cape County is where the Stevensons lived. I'll try to locate the eleven families that made up the community where my ancestors lived.
They all entered land along the Blue Shawnee or Muddy Shawnee Creeks, except Anderson Mitchell. He was east of the Mitchell Fleming place, at the top of a little hollow that runs into Lovejoy Hollow. It is just my guess that if you went back a generation or two you would find Andersons in the Mitchell family and Mitchells in the Fleming family.
We will leave the Anderson Mitchell place, go due west over the ridge to Zenos Ross' place. His land joined Mitchell Fleming's land. Zenos' land was ridge land, his house was up in the timber, while Mitchell Fleming's 80 acres was bottom land along BlueShawnee Creek. The Fleming graveyard is in the northeast corner of this plot. Ross married a Fleming girl.
Across Blue Shawnee a little south of the Fleming place, there
is where James and Jane Stevenson raised their family. Out of their ten children only two of them that lived stayed in Missouri, Alexander K. and William. Alexander bought Robert McFarland's place when he moved to Illinois. William stayed on the home place.
Go on west across Muddy Shawnee Creek, on the west bank was the Hill place. This is where he got the idea of the hog ring for which he later received a patent. You can still buy Hill Hog Rings.
His daughter Margaret was Alexander K. Stevenson's first wife. They had three children. Julia went to Illinois, Mary Jane died in infancy. Linley was the boy, he grew up with Ransom Mitchell. They were buddies; whatever one did the other did. I've heard my Granddad say, "if they were playing a game at school they had to both be on the same side or they wouldn't play. When the Civil War broke out Linley joined the Union Army, Ransom stayed homne and remained neutral. Linley went through the war in Cape Girardeau, Shiloh, and the seige at Vicksburg. When he was being mustered out in St. Louis he took small pox and died. He was buried in Old Apple Creek Cemetery, Pocahontas, MO.
Frankie Jane (Shoults) Carruthers has some letters that Linly wrote, from Vicksburg, to her Grandpa Ransom while the seige was going on. In one letter he said, "There hasn't been a shot fired today. I think they are as big a cowards as we are." He asked Ransom if he was taking care of the girls, and he thought that he would take caligraphy when he got back home. The letters are written with black ink, his hand writing was good.
About three quarters of a mile down the creek was the Quary place. The house wasn't close to the creek, it was up on the ridge but there was a good spring there. When Knox bought the place he built a big house north of the spring on the top of the hill.
My dad told me this story. Issac Query was one of the boys. He was an old bachelor when Dad was a little boy in the 1890's. He lived with my Grandpa and was sort of a hired hand. He liked to hunt.
Issac was training the dog to not be gun shy. One day Issac told Dad to come and go with him and the dog squirrel hunting. Dad didn't want to go, but he went anyway. Dad said that Issac really knew what it took to break a dog of gunshyness. Dad said he never knew when his gun shyness was broken. As long as I knew him he could shoot with the experts. He taught "we boys" how to use a gun.
In August of 1970, I pulled my trailer to Fruitland from Albequergue and parked it in my Dad's backyard. The next morning just at daylight a charge went off right over our trailer. Wanda jumped out of bed, I was beginning to think I was back in the old Army and that was the reville cannon. I got out to see what was going on. Dad was standing in the yard with the shotgun in one hand and a starling in the other. He said he was just getting his exercise. He threw the bird down on a pile of birds in a flower bed next to a tree. Ther were 32 birds and 33 empty shells. He said, "I must have missed one." I always figured that he got his basic training from Issac Query.
The next place north of the Quary place was that of Thomas Wilson. He had a section or more of land (all ridge land) away from the creek.
Appleton was about five miles north of this settlement. That was where everyone went to get their mail. When anyone was there
they picked up the mail for all that were close around them. Thomas Wilson was there when the news came that Lincoln was elected President. When he came back and passed out the mail he said, "Lincoln was elected and I'm ready to fight". He was one thathad slaves.
The Wallace place was bottom land along the creek between the Quary place and the 80 acres that Mitchell Fleming gave to Robert McFarland when he married his daughter Agness.
The McFarland place was mostly bottom land. He didn't want the house in the bottom so he bought ten acres from Thomas Wilson and built a big two story log house away from the creek. There
wasn't a spring close so they dug a well. The old house and log barn stood there for well over a hundred years. All that is there now to mark the place is the well.
My Great-grandfather bought the place from McFarland when he moved to Illinois. This is where Alexander K. Stevenson raised his family.
by Meredith Stevenson

A.K. Stevenson was ordaind Ruling Elder in Apple Creek Presbyterian upon the death of his father James, 13 Oct 1851. The last mention of him as an Elder in the church records is 10 Apr 1863, on pg 49. No reason given.

Died:
Decatur Herald 1 Jul 1902 pg 5 Col 4

The death of Mrs.Eliza Hill, wife of H.W.Hill, occurred on Sunday morning at 8:30 oclock at the family residence on Pine street. It was not unexpected. Mrs. Hill has been ill since the first of March and during the past week or more her condition has been critical and the final dissolution was looked for at any time. Death was the result of old age and general debility.

Mrs.Hill was a native of Rowan county,N. Carolina where she was born on March 20, 1819. She was the daughter of James and Jane Stevenson and with her parents moved to Cape Giradeau county, Missouri when only seven months old. While a resident of that county she was married in 1843 to Hugh W. Hill.

Mrs. and Mrs. Hill left Cape Girardeau county in 1860 and settled in Montgomery county where they resided until 1866 when they came to Macon county. They first lived on W. William street, but later built the beautiful home at the end of Prairie Ave. on Pine street and have since made their home there.

Of the six children born to them only one is living, John N. Hill of Macon, who has been constantly at his mothers bedside with his aged father for several days past. Besides her husband Mrs. Hill is survived by nine grandchildren five children of John N. Hill, who resides with their parents near Macon and Hugh, Gussie and Emma Bone and Mrs. L. A. Mills all of this city.

Mrs. Hill has been a member of the Presbyterian church since girlhood. Her life has been one of devotion to her husband and family. One by one with the exception of a son she has suffered the loss of her own children and the love she so richly bestowed on them was transferred to her granchldren, to whom she has been more than a grandmother. Her simple life of devotion to the best that there is in womanhood and motherhood, her gentle generous neighborly interest in the welfare of her friends have earned for her not only the respect but the love and esteem of all with whom she came in contact. She has left to her family and friends the priceless heritage of a life well lived.

The funeral services will be held at 3 oclock this afternoon from the residence, 212 N. Pine street and the services will be conducted by Revs. W.H.Prestley and W.H. Penhallegon. The casket will be open from 10 am until 12 noon for the friends of the family wishing to view the remains.

June 2, 1989

Dear Kinsman,

Genealogy is a never-ending sequence of puzzles and solutions~ so I thought I’d send some information I have accumulated since the 1988 gathering.

Stevensons arrived in the colonies as early as 1690, so that by the first U.S. census, Stevenson was one of the country’s most common surnames.

The common ancestors of our Texas branch of the Stevensons are the early settlers of Friendswood, Lowry David Stevenson and his wife Lula Jane Jones Stevenson, my great-grandparents. Taken from various sources their story is as follows:

Both Lowry David and Lula Jane were born in Missouri. He on May 19, 1858 and she on Aug. 25, 1861. They were married circa 1881 in Missouri.

Their first two children were born in Missouri. Guy W. Stevenson, born April 1883 and Zue M. Stevenson was born May 21,1890.

Soon after Zue’s birth the family of four moved to Cowley County, Kansas. Earl Vincent Stevenson was born November 23, 1891 in Rock, Kansas (in northern Cowley County). The Stevensons moved to Texas circa 1896. Vern Stevenson, son of Guy Stevenson retellsthe Stevenson trek to Texas.

“They came to Montgomery County, Texas from Winfield Kansas (the county seat of Cowley County) in two covered wagons. My father (Guy would have been about 13) was old enough to drive one of the teams. They had two geese who walked all the way. The last night the geese walked into the campfire and burned their feet a little and had to ride the rest of the way.”

April 25, 1898 their fourth child, Leslie Ward, was born a native Texan.

“Lulu didn’t like it there (in Montgomery County); it was a rough lumbering town, but they had a fine crop of cantaloupes. Believe they stayed there about two years. One day a stranger came walking down the railroad track and Lowry invited him in for dinner. He said, (You have a fine family Mr. Stevenson. Why don’t you visit Friendswood and see what you think. That is a settlement of Quakers and would be a much better place for your children. Frank J. Brown was an envisionary Friend who left Kansas seeking a promised land in southern Texas (a close friend had talked him out of Oregon). On his way south he passed thru Estacada, Crosby County. Brown had been a member of Estacado Meeting but was still looking for his promised land. It is interesting to note that soon after his transfer of membership from Faivriew, Kansas to Estacada Texas 2/18/89 in the minutes of the Estacado Meeting ”Considered changing Estacado Monthly Meeting from Iowa Yearly Meeting to Kansas Yearly Meeting, but the subje

F. J. Brown and T. H. Lewis secured from J.C. League (League City), a 1538 acre tract of land on Clear Creek. In July of 1895 they (Friends who had left Kansas with Brown and those who had joined him in Estacado) started building their homes. F. J. Brown,A.W. Lewis, and Nancy Lewis were appointed a committee to visit Friends in this vicinity and impress upon them the importance of having their membership rights transferred to Friendswood. Many did and Friendswood was underway. The first official changeover of the Meeting of Estacado to Friendswood was April 18, 1896. (Note: June 19, 1897 “The matter of changing from Iowa Yearly Meeting to Kansas Yearly Meeting came up for discussion and this meeting united in directing the clerk to make application for transfer.”) Friendswood was no more than four years old when the Stevensons arrived

February 17,1900 L.D. Stevenson with wife Lula and son Guy were recieved into membership. (taken from the minutes of the Friendswood Monthly Meetings).

July 7, 1900 Leslie Ward Stevenson their youngest died.

Edith Brown McGinnis, daughter of Frank J. Brown, told of the tragic part the 1900 Storm played in the Stevenson’s early history in her book THE PROMISED LAND.

“The Stevensons had only recently moved to Friendswood. Their fragile house was blown to splinters with them in it. Miraculously they had all escaped serious injury. As the storm let up they all got together and made their way to the Browns. They were allhalf frozen and besides themselves with fright. Mary Jane (Brown) dragged her children out of the only warm bed, and put Mrs. Stevenson and her little ones in their place.

Provisions were low and the Brown’s had intended going to town this day to lay in a supply of groceries. Mary Jane had put the last flour into the large batch of bread she was baking when the trees struck the kitchen. This bread, still in the oven and soaked with water, was all they had to eat. After a fire was finally kindled the bread was dried out for breakfast.

The Stevenson family who were the guests of the Browns for several weeks consisted of Laurie (sic) Lulu and their children Guy, Zue and Vincent. Guy was about sixteen years of age and Zue and Vincent about ten and eight respectively. With this crowd of hungry people the water soaked bread did not last long, and Mary Jane was put to it to get anything for them to eat until the Red Cross sent in aid. Laurie went to League City and got his share of this; for they had lost clothes, house, furniture, and everything
they had in the world.”

My grandfather Paul Rafael Stevenson was Lowry and Lula’s last child. He was born in Friendswood Feb. 9, 1901.

The Friends Academy and Church played quite a role in the Stevenson family history during this time. Here is a small historical sketch and description of the Academy as written in the 1920-21 catalog:

The old saying: “It is an ill wind that blows no one good,” for the great Galveston storm of September 8th, 1900, blew down the pines out of which the Academy building was erected. The logs were sawed into lumber, and the building put up almost entirely by members of the colony with no financial compensation whatsoever, for the people had a mind to work. Friendswood Academy was a part of the original plan of the founders of Friendswood. (Before moving to Friendswood the Estacado Meeting had built an Academy in Estacado, which was then sold when they relocated to Friendswood.) Its construction was begun in 1901 by the Friends of Friendswood Monthly Meeting and its management has been under their control ever since. Friendswood Academy is the only Friends’ school in the State of Texas. Friendswood is the ideal location for a school because Friends have always endeavored to give their children a guarded Christian education, it is removed from the debasing influences and temptations so common to cit

A member of the Stevenson family was on the Board of Trustees from the first board until the Academy closed in 1928, first Lowry David Stevenson then his son Guy.

Earl Vincent Stevenson and Zue M. Stevenson Bales were both Principles. In fact Earl Vincent was Principle while his future wife
Mary was a student.

Zue Bales was the last teacher at the Academy in 1928 when she wrote:

“As the faithful old Academy building was demolished and hauled away, so went· the dreams of our founding fathers; for they visualized as a permanent part of our community an Institution of higher learning where the Bible would be supreme and the young people would be trained for Christian service. This can never be the primary purpose in a tax-supported~ state controlled school. However, it is gratifying that so our young people choose to go to school to Christian Colleges and Seminaries to prepare for Christian leadership.”

According to Vern Stevenson, Lowry was also Friendswood’s first notary and carried the mail. Railroads and waterways were the arteries of business during those years. The Friends self-imposed isolation had its drawbacks, produce, supplies and mail had to be shuttled back and forth to the nearest railroad at Webster, or sent downstream. He writes:

“Lowry carried the mail from Webster with a spring wagon with compartments in the dashboard so that he could sort mail on the way home and put mail in the Star Route boxes along the way. We (the Guy Stevenson family) lived about four miles west of Friendswood.

When my mother, (Emma B.Miles Stevenson, daughter of Jessie Miles) would meet my Grandfather Lowry on the road he would stop, pullout his leather wallet, fish out an Indian Head penny for
me and say “Here’s a penny to the boy some candy.” It bought
as much candy as any boy should have, maybe more.
Grandpa wore a goatee and I thought he was Santa Claus.”

Francis A. Wright, a visiting Friend on church business describes Friendswood and it’s surroundings Jan.13,1910:

“Clear Lake shaped like a horseshoe some three miles long and a
mile wide from which runs Clear Creek, which is navigable for launches and barges as far up as Friendswood.

Outside the business of selling real estate~ the principal industries at present seem to be rice culture and growing of figs and oranges. Much of the country is still open prairie, but we saw large numbers of orange and fig groves, recently planted (In the 1910 census Lowry shows his land to be a fruit farm), and a few older orange orchards, which were yielding a crop worth from $600-$800 per acre. The principal orange grown is the “Satsuma”, a Japanese variety, which when budded on the “Trifoliata” stockwill stand considerable cold, owing to the habit of the latter becoming dormant in the winter. The Satsuma is a small orange, very sweet, and as it ripens about two months ahead of the earliest California varieties, it commands a ready sale at good prices. The trees come to full bearing in about four years with the first fruit appearing on some trees as early as the first year. The figs are known as seedless, and while there is little sale for them raw, there is a constantly growing demand for

The severity of the late freeze of 1912 on the early bearing Satsuma is evident in the May 18,1912 report of the Friendswood Academy Board:

“Owing to freezes and bad weather conditions~ the orchards and nurseries in this country are badly injured and in some cases destroyed. A considerable number of patrons of the Academy are not able to meet their obligations at present, leaving the board without sufficient funds to pay their teachers.” (After considerable discussion the board was authorized to borrow the money to payoff the indebtedness)

An even greater disaster, The 1915 Storm, was soon to strike: “Owing to the destructive hurricane on the 15th and 16th of this month and all the members have suffered great loss of buildings and crops and some stock and that the Academy building is damaged so much that it is unfit for use of meeting and school, F.J.Brown and Rachel Middleton appointed to act with the trustees to ascertain the amount necessary to repair the loss and are directed to appeal to Friends in other places for help to repair Friendswood Academy Building.”(The destructive force of this hurricane must have been tremendous to so wreck a building
constructed in the wake of the 1900 Storm.)

Vern recalls the circumstances of his Grandfather’s death, late March 1918:

“One day Lowry drove a little mule to Webster. Lowry was standing up in the wagon with his back to the tailgate. When the train came puffing in, “Rabbit” the little mule shied and Grandpa fell backward to the ground on his head. Though he said he could drive home all right, the people said maybe he was hurt more than he thought. While someone drove the springboard home Grandpa was taken home in a Model T. My father stayed with his father all that night. When he came home that next morning looking awfully sad, he said that Grandpa had died during the night.”

I will end here hoping that you have enjoyed these stories of our past if they were unknown to you.

I look forward to seeing you all again.

Your Kinsman,
Dan Stevenson

Stevensons arrived in Friendswood with a little help
An 'angel' pointed the way
KELLY ADAMS, Chronicle correspondent
Published 5:30 am CDT, Thursday, September 6, 2001


Following is one in an ongoing series examining the story behind the names at prominent venues and facilities in the Clear Lake/Bay Area.
The names of a middle school and a park are only the more apparent reminders of the deep roots the Stevenson family sank into Friendswood over the past century.
Through the years, Stevensons have served in local positions including election judge, tax assessor, teacher, justice of the peace, notary public, Democratic precinct chairman and board member for the Quaker Academy.
But the Stevensons' role in the community wouldn't have happened were it not for advice from someone whom family members came to believe was an angel.
The first Stevensons -- Lowry, Lucinda and their children Guy, Vincent, Zue and a baby, Ward -- came to Texas from Missouri by wagon in the late 1800s.
To make room for the family's possessions in the wagon, the children walked.
The family first settled in a rough mill town in Montgomery County until a stranger, who stopped by the family's home seeking food and water, recommended the new Quaker settlement of Friendswood as a nice place to live.
"The family always considered that he was an angel who had come to warn them that they were in the wrong place, and that they needed to come to a better place to raise their children," said Marjorie Brown, granddaughter of Zue Stevenson Bales.
In 1899, four years after Friendswood was founded, the family boarded a train to Pearland and then walked to the small community.
When they arrived, the Stevensons were not Quakers, who also are known as Friends. But that changed since Friends had the only church in the area.
Friendswood Friends Church has had a lasting influence on the family, Brown said.
The first year in Friendswood brought hard times. Scorching temperatures destroyed the crops, the Stevensons' baby died and the family lost its home to the 1900 Galveston hurricane.
"Zue Bales remembered going into the garden and hanging onto the fence line, and she said the fact that her dress got caught on the barbed-wire fence was the only thing that kept her from blowing away," said Joycina Baker, author of Friendswood: A Settlement of Friendly Folk.
However, the family decided to rebuild. In 1908, Lowry Stevenson bought 10 acres for $250 and started raising figs, which were grown on the land until the 1950s.
Around that time, Friendswood was the fig capital of the Gulf Coast, Baker said.
Besides farming, Stevenson held many positions in the growing town. He was on the board of the Quaker Academy, Friendswood's first official school, which opened in 1902.
"He was an educated man and was important in building that part of the community when it was getting started," Baker said.
In addition, Stevenson was the town's first justice of the peace and notary public. At the time, taking on many jobs was a way of helping the developing area.
"The community was so tiny," Baker said. "When the community was started, there were about 25 people here. They all had their own niche. It took everybody to make the colony work."
Stevenson also served as the community's first election judge until he died in 1918 at age 59. Son Vincent then assumed the position.
Vincent Stevenson also was the first tax assessor for the Friendswood school district as well as a Democratic precinct chairman.
He was an enterprising man who would drive into town for neighbors and bring back supplies for a small fee. Stevenson also was athletic and built the first tennis courts in Friendswood for his family on the Stevenson property.
His sister, Zue Stevenson Bales, was respected as an educator. After attending the academy, she taught at the school and later became principal.
After the death of her husband, Edward Bales, she spent many years as a missionary in Mexico and Central America. She died at age 89 in 1978.
Today, the Zue Stevenson Bales Middle School, 302 Laurel Drive, honors her role in the community. Her descendants still live in Friendswood.
Known for her strong mind and will, Bales also had a giving nature even when she relied on her family for money in her later years.
It was the generosity of the third generation of Stevensons that made Stevenson Park off FM 518 available to the public.
In 1973, five years after his death, the children of Vincent Stevenson sold the city 10.5 acres and donated another two on the condition that a park be built and named after the family.

Born Near Augusta
Hiel Columbus Stevenson was born January 20, 1849 in a log cabin two and one-half miles northeast of Augusta in Hancock county. He was the oldest of five children of Mitchell Fleming and Mary King Stevenson, both of North Carolina origin.

When he was three or four months old the family purchased and moved to a farm southwest of Huntsville in Schuyler county, where he lived until the age of seven when his father purchased what is known as the Stevenson farm, one-half mile east of Huntsville. His father died when he was nine years old. An infant sister had already died. The widowed mother reared her family of three boys and one girl during the period preceding and following the Civil war.

He attended school at the public square school in Huntsville where he received all his education except for one winter at the Augusta school.

In 1871 he came to Elvaston where he farmed a place rented from his uncle, James King. This farm he later bought and made his home for forty years. From 1878 to 1886 he farmed near Augusta.

On April 6, 1886 he married Louisa Jane Sprigg at Quincy and established his home on the farm two miles north of Elvaston. The children born to this union were Norris Hiram, who died when he was four years old, Dana Hugh and Edward Hiel.

The surviving members of his immediate family are his wife now eighty-five years old; his two sons Dana and Edward of Elvaston and three grandchildren, Kenneth, Marjorie and Ruth Stevenson.

He joined the Presbyterian Church at Huntsville when he was seventeen years old and transferred his membership to Augusta and Elvaston according to his residence. He served as an elder at Augusta and also at Elvaston.

1882 Biographies of Bond County Part II

Biographical Sketches
Edwin W. DRESSOR, farmer, P. O. Greenville, is the only son of Nathaniel DRESSOR. He was born in Cottonwood Grove, on the homestead farm, December 12, 1854; he was raised to farming and trading pursuits, and remained under the parental roof until his marriage, March 7, 1877, when he cast his lot in a matrimonial way with Mary M. KIRKLAND, a native of Walshville Township, Montgomery County, this State; she was a daughter of T. C. KIRKLAND, one of the prominent farmers and business men of Montgomery County. Immediately after his marriage he located on the farm he now occupies, in this township, where he has since been engaged in farming and stock-trading, being one of the largest dealers of his age in the county. He has had two children born him; but one living - Edith Mabel, born Aug. 11, 1880.

EDWIN W. DRESSOR, a prominent young farmer of Bond County, and the present Supervisor of Central Township, is located on a fine farm near Greenville, and is a man of means, intelligence and education.

The parents of the subject of this notice were Nathaniel and Elizabeth Dressor, who were pioneers of Bond County. The father was a native of the Pine Tree State, where he was born in 1825. The grandfather, Rufus Dressor, was a farmer by occupation. Our subject was born near Reno, Ill., December 12, 1854. His education was begun in the best schools of the county, and at the age of thirteen be became a pupil of McKendree College at Lebanon, Ill., from which, after completing the scientific course, he was graduated June 12, 1876. His studies finished, he returned to the farm, and on March 7, 1877, he was married to Miss Mary Ann Kirkland, who was born in Montgomery County, Ill. Three children were born to this household, the eldest of whom, Orla E., is deceased. The surviving children are Edith Mabel and Blanche.

Mrs. Mary Ann Dressor died October 21, 1887, and November 14, 1889, Mr. Dressor married Miss Lizzie Thraner, who was born in Bond County, Ill., October 10, 1859, and one child has been born of this marriage, Nathaniel Edwin. After his first marriage, our subject located at this place, where he has twelve hundred acres of fine land, all in one body, with the latest improvements and in the highest state of cultivation. He has carried on mixed farming, and has raised a great number of all kinds of the best stock, having an enviable reputation throughout this locality for his fine cattie, horses and hogs. He has spared no exertion in order to obtain the best grades of cattle and secure the best of improvements on his farm. Not only has he embellished his own property, but he has also advocated improvements throughout the entire township.

Our subject is very public-spirited, and is always the first to favor any advanced step in the county, either in an agricultural or educational way. In his political opinions, he favors the Republican party, because he believes in that party can be found the principles best suited to the government of a great country like the United States. He is very popular in the ranks of his party, and has been honored by them in his election as Supervisor for the third term. During the first year of his service, he was elected Chairman of the Board, and so well did he perform the duties of his office that this year he was honored with the same office.

The Masonic order claims our subject as one of its most honored members, and he has been most active in its meetings. He also affiliates with the Modern Workmen at Greenville. He is a man of independent means, and probably has made the major portion of his property in shipping stock and grain, both of which he buys extensively and ships to the different cities, principally Chicago and Indianapolis. He is well known throughout the community, where he is highly esteemed.
