CHAPTER XXX.
LINCOLN TOWNSHIP.
This township is situated in the eastern tier, with Grant on the north, Adair county on the east, Massena on the south and Franklin on the west. Lincoln is watered by Seven-Mile creek and its branches, which finds its source in the northeastern part of the township, flowing southwest through sections 14, 15, 22, 28 32 and 31, entering Massena from the lat- ter section, and flowing through the northwest corner of section 12, of that township, into Union. There are only a few acres of timber in the north west cor- ner of Lincoln, the land being generally rolling and open, of a very rich and pro- ductive nature. Lincoln is a full con- gressional township, being cut off from Grant in 1870, and is known as township 76, range 34. Its growth in later years has been quite rapid, as in 1873 it had a population of but 190, while in 1880 there were 570.
liam Thompson, a native of Ohio, who emigrated with his family from Indiana and settled on section 5, in the fall of 1856. They lived in a log cabin, now owned and occupied by Mrs. Gant, about a year, when they removed to section 4 and erected a log cabin upon land which they entered there. They remained there until September, 1875, when they went to Arkansas. They afterward returned, but at present live in Nebraska. William Thompson was born in Ohio in 1825. He was married in 1850 to Christina Ander- son, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth (Stephens) Anderson. They had six chil- dren-Rosa, Alice A., Louisa, William F., Willis E., Lura J.

The next settlement was that made by Jacob Gant, in 1860, who purchased the property owned by Jacob Wogan. He was born in Ross county, Ohio, February 10, 1821, and married February 4, 1848, to Eunice Carley, daughter of Bartholomew and Sarah (Dolph) Carley, in Kalamazoo county, Michigan. They had seven chil- dren-George W., Sarah E., James O., Philanda L., Clara C., Lura A., Ella M. He died in November, 1873, on the home- stead, on section 5, where he first settled. Mrs. Gant and family still reside on the place.
Some time after the settlement of Jacob Gant, two men by the names of Furbush and Dabney, came to the township, and have subsequently removed from its boundaries.
Willard Talbot made a settlement in this township, in the fall of 1868. IIe was a native of the State of New York and was the son of Aaron and Elizabeth (Tay- lor) Talbot.

He was married in 1867, in Illinois to Eliza- beth Tanner, by whom he had two chil- dren-Edward and Charles. Mr. Talbot was the first justice of the peace in the township, and was in that office when he died. This latter event occurred in 1874 or '75. His body was interred in the cem- etery at Anita, and his widow removed to
Hamilton county, this State where she has since re-married.
There was no other settlement until 1869, when Andrew Trimmer located on section 17, in November of that year, pur- chasing his farm of F. H. Whitney. He proceeded to erect a house, part of which now comprises his present residence, which was the third frame dwelling built in the township. He was born in New Jersey, in 1837 and came to Lincoln town- ship from his native State. He was mar- ried in Warren county, New Jersey, to Susan Shields, a native of that county, who died in this township in 1876. He was married the second time to Amelia Miller, a native of New York.
William T. Smither came a short time after Andrew Trimmer and entered land on section 11. He was born in Missouri in 1844. His father, Joel Smither, was a native of North Carolina and his mother of Kentucky. When quite young Wil- liams' mother died and he was reared by a sister with whom he came to Delaware county in 1852.

bought eight hundred acres of land of the railroad company, and his son Charles one hundred and sixty acres in this town- ship. In 1871,. Seth H. Felt returned here from Knox county, Illinois, and ob- tained a deed for one hundred and sixty acres of land, which his father then owned. He has since made an addition to his farm of three hundred and twenty acres, all of which is under cultivation. He built a nice residence in 1875, and devotes his attention largely to stock raising, breeding some of the finest stock in the township. Mr. Felt was born in Warren county, Illinois, in 1848, and is the son of Charles M. Felt. He is a native of New Hampshire, but removed to Illinois when a boy.

One of the poems written by Mrs. Allanson, is given in this connection, as it is really meritorious and worthy of preservation:
A THOUGHT.
BY EMILIE CLARE.
It speeds across the continent, And broad Pacific's wave,
O'er arid plains of burning sands,. Where Baltic waters lave; Through oriental palaces, 'Mid ruins dim and old;
Adown the steep and dizzy shaft Where miners delve for gold.
From clime to clime, and sea to sea A shuttle vast and fleet. It weaves the web of destiny, For good, and wise, and great;
With fingers deft, invisible, It writes the final scroll,
And seals a title for the skies, Or sorrow for the soul.
.
And swifter than an eagle's flight It seeks the prisoner's cell To fold the downy wings of peace Or ope the gates of hell. None may deny an interview To this self-invited guest,
Who in the gruesome hours of night Would make, or mar his rest.

HISTORY OF CASS COUNTY.
For thousands upon thousands wait A thought's magnetic thrill, So potent in its tireless round, For blessings or for ill. Resplendent diamond of the mind, Reset in crowns above, A glist'ning dew drop on the flower Of Charity and Love!
And treasured as a thought may be A two-fold wealth is given A path of peace while here below And one of bliss in heaven; But evil thoughts of sin and strife, Resisting Mercy's plea,
Will madly follow on the way To endless misery.
