It is the earnest hope of the Madison County Sesquicentennial Committee that this official souvenir program will serve to enrich the historical knowledge of its readers and enable them to enjoy more thorough- ly the many and colorful events being held in com- memoration of "Our 150 Years."
Months of preparation have gone into this celebra- tion. Its success must be measured by how well it depicts the passing scene and by whether it adds in generous measure to our appreciation of the adven- turous, fascinating deeds of our forebears.
Madison County has achieved growth not only through the efforts of individuals but also through the progress of scores of business and manufacturing firms, many of which pre-date our oldest living residents. The committee extends its thanks to these establishments and individuals, young and old whose advertising messages appear in this program. It wishes them con- tinued prosperity in the years to come.

OUR 150 YEARS
by James S. Flagg
It was perhaps inevitable that Madison County should develop from a beautiful wilderness and a handful of whites and Indians in 1812 into one of the nation's more populous and prosperous counties in the atomic age.
The area's natural blessings a varied, temperate climate, good to very rich farmland, a wealth of wood- land, and nearness to the confluences of the Mississippi- Missouri and Mississippi-Illinois rivers all of these were enough to attract the imaginative pioneers from Kentucky and Tennessee and Virginia, and later from New England and the east and the north.
And so when Ninian Edwards, territorial governor of Illinois, established the County of Madison on Sept. 14, 1812, he laid the foundation for a political sub- division whose estimated 225,000 residents have, in an era of orbiting space capsules, every right to be proud of their heritage.
For many decades prior to 1812 there were a few white men in and near the county, notably at the Cahokia settlement in St. Clair County. The pioneers came and went. Knowledge of them is rather meager aside from accounts of skirmishes with the Indians. among them Chief Pontiac, and troubles now and then involving the Spanish, French and British.
With the end of the Revolutionary War, however. migration to the promising West began in earnest. Soon after 1800 Madison County had its first permanent residents.
Theirs was not an easy lot. Their comforts were few, their working hours long, and their luxuries al- most non-existent. Their main concerns were shelter. food and clothing.
It is probable that their motive for coming West was the same as that of the average family changing jobs today-to improve their living standards. This they did while enduring a multitude of hardships. But they worried not at all about fallout, parking places. income taxes or cholesterol.

HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY, ILLINOIS
GOVERNOR NINIAN EDWARDS
THOMAS JUDY
When Gov. Edwards established the county, it was an immense area. Its southern border included the present line but it extended from the Mississippi to the Wabash River. All the land north of that line to the Canadian border and even to the North Pole, some say, was Madison County, including Wiscon- sin, that part of Minnesota east of the Mississippi and northern Michigan.
Subdividing began soon thereafter with the growth of the territory, and by 1831 the county had dwindled to its present proportions plus what is now Bond County. The latter area was detached in 1843 and there has been no change since that year,
Thus it is quite understandable that there was a drop in census figures with changes in the size of the county. The pop- ulation is given as 13,550 in 1820, 6,221 in 1830, 14,433 in 1840, 20,441 in 1850, 31,351 in 1860, 44,131 in 1870 and 50,141 in 1880.
Whenever there was any sign of trouble from 1812 on, the people looked for protection to Fort Russell, after which the largest township of the county is named. The fort was about a mile northwest of Edwardsville and less than a quarter-mile west of what is now route 112.
Quoting from Davidson's and Stuve's History of Illinois (1874): "The most notable, as also the largest, strongest and best appointed in every respect, of the stockade forts, was Fort Russell (named after Col. William Russell) established by Gov. Edwards early in 1812. The cannon (five) of Louis XIV, which had done service in the ancient Fort Chartres, were removed higher and placed in position.
"This stockade was made the rendezvous for the militia and the regulars, and the main depot for military supplies. Gov. Edwards here established his headquarters, during the perilous times of 1812, and gathered about him the beauty and chivalry of those days. Within the protective walls of this stockade were attracted and found shelter much of the talent, fashion and wealth of the country, and here His Excellency presided with a courtly grace and dignity, well befitting his fine personal appearance and his many accomplishments."
Who were Madison County's first permanent settlers? When did they arrive and where did they make their homes? These questions will be answered as completely as possible within the limits of space. Millions of words could be written about Madison County's 150 years, and several fine volumes already have been published. This account, however, must be confined to a mere outline of the county's personalities and progress because of the limit on wordage.
It might be said with some degree of seriousness that the county was misnamed. When the Rev. David Badgley, a Baptist minister, and some others explored this area in 1799, they were so impressed by the luxuriant growth of grass and vegetation that they were reminded of the best of the land of Egypt. Re- calling the Biblical story of the Land of Goshen, they gave that name to this area. Appropriately enough, the county now has a historical organization with the same name
-
The Rev. Badgley was never a resident of the county, having lived near Belleville. Apparently the first American to establish a home here was Ephriam Conner. In 1800 he built a rude cabin in the northwest corner of the present Collinsville township. Conner seems not to have cared for the area's many resources because a year later he disposed of his holdings to Samuel Judy.
Judy became a permanent and valued citizen of the coun- ty, having fought in the War of 1812 and served in the first legislature and on the first county commission. He was married to Margaret Whiteside, a sister of Gen. Samuel Whiteside. The first or second year after his arrival he set out an orchard in what was known as Goshen, at about the present site of Peter's Station. In 1808 he built a brick house, the walls of which were cracked by an earthquake in 1811.
Judy's oldest son, Jacob, was register of the Edwards- ville land office from 1845 to 1849. Another son, Col. Thomas Judy, was in the legislature in 1852 and 1853.
One of the first families to settle in Madison County was the Gillham family. The first to come to America, Thomas Gillham, was a native of Ireland. He arrived in Virginia in 1730 and later moved to South Carolina. His fourth son, James, was the first to arrive in Illinois, coming here in 1794 to search for his wife and children who were held captive by Indians. He set- tled in the American Bottom, apparently south of St. Louis, and later moved to Madison County
Two other brothers, John and William, arrived in Madison County in 1802. Another brother, Thomas II, had reached Illinois in 1799. A fifth brother, Isaac, settled in this county in 1804 or 1805.
With this large delegation among the early settlers, and with their descendants, the Gillham family became one of the most prominent in the county.
Brink's History of Illinois has this to say: "The Gillhams were strong supporters of morality and order, and among the best citizens of the county. Though born in a slave state, they recognized the corrupting influence of slavery, and unalterably opposed its introduction into Illinois. The author of a history of the state, published in 1849, remarks that the convention party of 1824 owed its defeat to the Gillham family and their kins- men, who, almost in a solid phalanx, cast 500 votes against the proposition to make Illinois a slave state."
Prominent among the county's early settlers were mem- bers of the Whiteside family who moved from Monroe County to a new home near that of Col. Judy at Goshen in 1802. Wil- liam Grotts and Robert Seybold came in 1803, the latter living in Jarvis township near Troy.
A short time later Dr. George Cadwell settled near Venice, and his friend, John Messinger, took uo residence on Ridge Prairie between Collinsville and Troy. John T. Lusk arrived in the Goshen country in 1805. Joseph Newman, a Pennsylvan- ian, came to Fort Russell township in 1804. to be followed by Maj. Isaac H. Ferguson in 1806.

GRANITE CITY
Granite City-Sixty-six years of growth-usually rapid though sometimes laggard during industrial slumps-has put Granite City far ahead of all other Madison County cities in pop- ulation except Alton. In its first 64 years of existence, Granite City blossomed from a stretch of rich farmland with a handful of residents in 1896 to a population of 40,073 in 1960. Typical of its in-a-hurry-to-get-there progress was its gain in the 1950's. The census in 1950 registered only 29,465 people. A pinnacle of achievement was reached in 1958 when Granite City was chosen as an All-American city.
The community received its name from its principal indus- try of the time, the manufacture of graniteware. It was laid out by two far-sighted industrialists, F. G. and William F. Niedring- haus. Its principal industries as of 1962 are Granite City Steel Co. and General Steel Industries, Inc. However, within the city, and in nearby Madison and Venice, and in the surrounding area are numerous other plants contributing millions of dollars in an- nual payrolls.
These include Laclede Steel Co., American Steel Foundries,
A. O. Smith Corp., Dow Metal Products Co., Cargill, Inc., Johns- Manville Products Corp., National Lead Co., Nesco Steel Barrel Co., The Nestle Co., Inc., Teilly Tar & Chemical Corp., and Un- ion Starch & Refining Co.
The Chain of Rocks Canal, which bypasses a navigational bottleneck in the Mississippi River, was completed in 1952 and established Granite City as an important river terminal with ac- cess to the entire inland waterway system and the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The Granite City Army Depot on the west side of the city is the largest engineer depot in North America. To the south and east is Horseshoe Lake, one of Illinois' natural beauty spots where excellent fishing, boating and duck hunting are available. The lake area is now in the initial stages of being developed in- to a state park.
While known primarily as an industrial city, Granite City is also an important retail trading area and an attractive resi- dential community. In recent years it has absorbed the former village of Nameoki and new subdivisions have sprung up stead- ily to the north and east.

HISTORY OF MADISON COUNTY, ILLINOIS

SOLOMON PREUITT
In 1806 Martin Preuitt cast his fortune at Sand Ridge Prairie, about three miles east of Alton. His youngest son, Solomon, born in 1790, became one of the more distinguished citizens of the county.
Other very early arrivals: William Jones and John Fin- ley in 1806. at Sand Ridge; Robert Reynolds, father of Gov. John Reynolds, 1807, three or four miles southwest of Edwards- ville; Toliver Wright, 1806, near the mouth of Wood River; John Atkins, 1807, near Mitchell; Thomas Rattan, 1804: George Barnsback, 1809. Edwardsville; Abel Moore, 1808, in Wood Riv- er; Joseph Bartlett, 1809. Wood River.
A great many of the pioneers already mentioned and to be mentioned were veterans of the Revolutionary War.
One of the earliest arrivals, and destined to be one of the most prominent, was Thomas Kirkpatrick who located along the banks of Cahokia Creek in the northern part of what was to become Edwardsville. It was his house that was appointed the seat of justice of the county in Gov. Edwards's proclamation in 1812.
Bv this time villages or hamlets had been established at Alton, Upper Alton, Milton (just west of East Alton), Edwards- ville, and on Wood River (the stream) near the present Alton State Hospital grounds. Some histories estimate that there were perhaps 1000 persons in the county when it was organized.
With the end of the war of 1812-14 and the signing of a peace treaty with the Indian tribes of the Northwest in 1815, settlements in Madison County increased rapidly. Whereas ear- lier arrivals chose sites near the Mississippi River and along Cahokia and Cantine Creeks, a substantial percentage of new. comers now sought their fortunes in what are our central and eastern townships.
Maj. Isaac H. Ferguson built the first house ever erected on Marine prairie in 1813. From then until 1816 came John Warwick, John Woods. George Newsome. Joseph and Absolom Ferguson. Aquilla Dolahide, Abraham Howard, Joshua Dean,
Chester Pain, Thomas Breeze, Richard Winsor, John Camp- bell, John Giger, Henry Scott, John Lord. James Simmons, Henry Peck, Andrew Matthews Sr., James French, and Abram Carlock.
Along about this time, there came to Edwardsville the families of Rowland P. Allen, Elijah Ellison, and Mrs. Eliza- beth Randle. Some of the residents on the road leading from Edwardsville to Alton were: John Newman, David Robinson, Samuel Delaplane, Hiram Pruitt, Ben Wood, John Stout, John Drum, William Montgomery, William and Isaac Cox. Charles, John, and James Gillham, James Tunnell, Jonas Bradshaw, John Springer, Joel Meacham. The road had been located by Thomas G. Davidson, John Wallace and Abraham Prickett.
James Renfro settled in what is now Collinsville township in 1811; Jacob Gonterman in Edwardsville in 1816, the Rev. Thomas Ray, a Baptist minister, in 1818, Alvis Hauskins in 1819, and the Fruit family, John Minter and Mathias Handlon at about this time.
Arrivals in St. Jacob township in 1816 were John Giger, Gilmore Anderson, William Faires, John Herrin, Nich- olas Kyle and William Parkinson. First settlements in Foster township were made about 1816 by Joseph S. Reynolds and Orman Beeman.
Among those casting their lot with the county in 1818 were Gaius Paddock, from Vermont. to Fort Russell township; Gershom Flagg, from Vermont, to Fort Russell: David Gilles- pie, from Ireland and New York to Edwardsville, and Daniel A. Lanterman, from Kentucky to Fort Russell.
Paddock, a soldier of the Revolution, was to become the grandfather of another Gaius Paddock who lived to be 100 years old. His home was on route 112 eight miles north of Edwards- ville. Flagg, a veteran of the War of 1812, was the father of State Senator Willard C. Flagg and the grandfather of State Senator Norman G. Flagg. His home was half a mile south of the Paddock's.
