Illinois Historical Survey PREFACE.
This little work was undertaken without any model before the mind of the Author which it was his intention accurately to follow.
The object was to prepare a brief outline history of those in Butler Grove Township who had passed the age of fifty years,
Such a sketch was desired as would preserve to posterity the date and place of birth, the different residences, the time and place of marriage, names of children etc, of those who had reached the age above mentioned.
As we advanced with the work, other ideas than our orig- inal ones presented themselves, and as a consequence the narratives in the latter part of the book are a little more full than those at the commencement.
In such a multiplicity of dates, gathered from such a mul- tiplicity of sources, notwithstanding great care has been taken, we can scarcely believe that these sketches will be· free from all mistakes. We have inserted four pages of blank ruled paper in order that any additional remarks may be made, or any mistakes corrected with a pen.
That these brief sketches may assist in keeping fresh the memories of parents, and cherishing their names when they sleep in the dust is the fond hope of your sincere friend, T. E SPILMAN.

DEDICATION.
To the children of those whose histories are herein briefly given are these Sketches respectfully and prayerfully dedicated.
"Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee."

REV. JOHN HAMILTON
was born Soudersburg, Lancaster Co. Penn. May 24th, 1803. When a child his parents moved to Marietta in the same Co. Here, while quite young, John made a profession of re- ligion uniting himself with the Lutheran Church. Here also he prepared himself for the Gospel Ministry, and entered up- on the labors of the sacred office in 1826, engaging in mis- sionary work in the western part of Penn. After laboring on this field for about a year he went to Virginia where he spent another year in missionary lahors. He then returned to Penn. still continuing his missionary work.
On the 8th of Sept. , 1828, he was united in marriage with Miss Elizabeth Vondersaal near Shippensburg Penn. After marriage he had a call to a church in Virginia, in Shenan- doah Co. where he labored for five years. From there he was called to a church in Hardy Co. of the same State where he preached for a little over two years. From here he re- moved to Stark Co. Ohio about the year 1841, and took charge of four congregations known as West Brookfield, Bethlehem,
€
West Lebanon and Richville. He remained with this charge about nine years, and then in Lancaster Ohio took charge of two congregations, one in the city, the other in the country.
In 1853 he was elected Grand Master of the Odd Fellows. and traveled and lectured in the interests of the Lodge for one year. Then he was elected Grand High Priest of the Encampment in which capacity he served the Order for one year.
After this be returned to his Homestead in Stark Co. Ohio, and took charge of eight or nine congregations.
In about eight years he changed his place of residence to Medina Co. and continued his labors on this extensive field about five years longer, and until he had succeeded in form- ing these churches into smaller charges. He then removed to Wyandott Co. Ohio where he preached about two years. Resigning this charge he returned to Stark Co. Ohio and took charge of what was called Stanza's Church. After preaching here for a year or two he received a call to a church in Mendon Ill. about 1867. He took charge of this field and labored, there over four years. From there, in 1874 he came to Butler and took charge of what are known as the Ware,s Grove and St. John's Churches, upon which fields he is now laboring in the 51st year of his ministry.
At the same time in which Mr. Hamilton studied Theology he studied Medicine, and at Shippensburg, about the time of his marriage he was licensed to practice medicine, which prac- tice he followed up in connection with his ministerial labors until the condition of his health required him to relinquish a part of his work, and in choosing between the care of the body and the care of the soul, he devoted his remaining strength to the care of souls.
Father Hamilton's life has been an exhibition of mental and physical strength, and an example of activity and industry,
