The earliest and most prominent settler of Lick prai- rie was Seth Gard, who came from Hamilton county, Ohio, and established a permanent home on the south- east quarter of section 28, about 1814. This locality was called Gard's Point, and the post-office, originally established in that vicinity, is still called by that name. Gard was a man of much force of character, of good judgment and of strong and lasting convictious. Through his mental make-up there ran a vein of humor tending, generally, to point some moral precept. This shows itself in the Christian names, Reason and Justice, given to his twin sons. He brought to the county a family of seven children, the two just named, Susan, Ruth, Amelia, Franklin, Hiram and Joseph. Reason and Justice resembled each other so closely that to most people a wart on one's nose was the only distinguishing mark. On one occasion, in a spirit of fun, one called to see the other's girl. She failed to observe the little index, and the counterfeit passed as current coin. Gard was an influential and representative man. He was the second representative of the county in the state legisla-


ture, and the first judge of the county court. He was also a New Light minister, and very enthusiastic in his profession, often preaching from his chair when, through infirmity of age, he was unable to stand. With Gard came his nephew, Aaron Waggoner, who had quite a family of children. He was a stone mason, and in 1816 or 1817 built the chimney, still standing, for Peter Keen's house on the old Fox place, in Wabash precinct. In 1814 Jacob Claypole settled on the northeast quarter of section 4. Philip Hull, in 1815, settled on the north- east quarter of section 28. One Ocheltree, in the same year, located on the southeast quarter of section 21. Ichabod C. Griffin, in 1818, settled on the southeast quarter of section 24, in the little prairie that bore his name. In the same year James Black settled on the southwest quarter of section 25. Ephraim Armstrong, in the year 1819, came from Tennessee and settled on the northwest quarter of section 30. He came to the county in 1816 or '17, and first settled in the vicinity of old Timberville. From his native state he entered the army in the war of 1812. He held the office of consta- ble for a number of years. His death took place at the old homestead about the year 1875. Thomas Arm- strong, a well-to-do farmer of the precinct, is his son. Samuel Mundy and his wife and their two sons, Griffith and William, came from the state of New York in 1819. They came as far as Cincinnati, with a horse and wagon, which they there exchanged for a boat with which they made the rest of the journey. They first settled on the northwest quarter of section 24, and after a few years moved to the south half of section 19, which became their homestead. Mr. Mundy was at one time a mem- ber of the legislature, while Vandalia was yet the seat of government. He was elected to the office of circuit clerk, which he filled for several years. He died in Mt. Carmel in 1872. Lewis Armstrong, brother of Ephraimn, settled on the southwest quarter of section 19, but did not remain long in the precinct. William Ulm, a farmer and minis ter, residing in section 36, came to Wabash from Ross county, Ohio, in 1820. James Wi'ey came to the precinct from New York in 1820 or '21. He was a plain farmer, and reared a family of five or six children. Jacob Gupton, with a family of three children, came from North Carolina in 1825, and became a permanent resident of the precinct. With him came his son-in-law, Calvin Morgan, whose possessions con- sisted of a little pony and fifty cents in money. By the diligent employment of his time in winter at shoemak-

ing, and in summer at farming, he accumulated a good deal of property. Two sons survive him, George in Lancaster and Hiram in Lick prairie. Benjamin F. Hill and family of a wife and two sons, William and Thomas, came from Virginia about 1824 or '25, and settled on the northwest quarter of section 30. He left home to drive to Mt. Carmel, about twenty five years ago, and was found dead by the wayside. His sons Thomas and William married and settled in the pre- cinct. The family of Adam Baird deserve mention among the early settlers. He came from Virginia, bringing with him a family of five children, John, Samuel, Andrew, William (deaf and dumb) and Silas The first three were ministers of the New Light, and afterward of the Christian persuasion. Silas was a teacher and William a chair and barrel-maker. All are now dead. Frederick Miller was an early set- tler from Indiana. He located in section 31. He was a plain farmer and died at his home many years ago. John Steward, from Virginia, settled on the east half of section 31. He was crippled with rheuma- tism and worked at shoemaking. One Cumming was also an early settler near the locality of Gard's Point. He went with his face tied up, having sustained a frac- ture of the jaw in the operation of extracting a tooth.


John Moore, a New Light minister came from Vir- ginia about 1825, with a family and settled on section 36. On one occasion, when he was crossing the Bonpas, on his return from a tour of preaching, he saw Joseplı Preston and Harrison Ingram skating bare-foot, with chips of wood strapped to their feet, having walked without shoes a distance of five miles to reach the ice. Samuel Moore, brother of John, moved from Virginia to Indiana, and thence to the south west quarter of section 25, the old James Black place. After two or three years he moved to the southwest quarter of section 24, where he made the first improvements, and settled per- manently. He was a New Light exhorter, and he died many years ago. William Bratton came to the precinct about 1827. He settled on the east half of section 36, or the west half of section 31, township 1 north, and reared a family of three or four children. He was a farmer and mechanic, a sociable and good-hearted man, aud he accumulated a considerable amount of property. William S. Hill, a farmer and stock-raiser of section 32, came west to Wabash county from North Carolina in 1829. P. G. Greathouse, a farmer, gunsmith and blacksmith of section 1, was born in the county in 1827. A. W. Gilkison, section 25, farmer and stock-raiser, was


born in the county in 1832. Adam Stoltz came to Pennsylvania, from Alsace, Germany, with a family, in 1828. In 1834 he moved to Illinois and settled on the southwest quarter of section 21, but is now in Lick precinct. The family married and settled down in the neighborhood of their father's home, and are the oldest German family in the precinct. One of the daughters, Vieve, married Fred Marx, from whom the family of that name are descended. P. P. Keepes, of section 20, a farmer and county treasurer, came from Germany in 1828. The first colored settler was Charles Goings. He located on the south half of section 19 in 1835. An Indian from Tennessee, also named Goings, settled with Charles at the same time. Gard's Point post-office was first kept by Dr. Ezra Baker. About 1842 it was kept by Reason Gard, who retained it about ten years. It changed possession two or three times, and finally came to the hands of Joseph Shearer, the present incumbent. The first school in the precinct was taught by William Townsend in a log school-house on the northwest quarter of section 30, in the year 1830. Townsend was a Methodist minister, and opened and closed his school with prayer, and was regarded as a good teacher. The school-house was of the old time type, with puncheon floor, seats and desks. On the southeast quarter of section 25, about 1833, was built a log build- ing, designed for a church and school-house, and used for these purposes for a number of years. At this point is an old grave-yard, still kept in preservation. In the locality of Cabbage Corners, so called from Justice Gard's cabbage patch that was near it, or, as some say, from the circumstance that one young man "cabbaged " another's girl, stood a log school house at an early day. The Gard's Point burial grounds, south- east quarter, section 28, is the oldest in the precinct. The first land entry was made by James Claypole, in the southwest quarter of section 4, August 5, 1814. December 30, of that year, S. M. Russell and C. Dana entered four hundred and eighty acres in section 33. June 10, 1815, Philip Hull entered the southeast quar- ter of section 21. April 20, 1816, James O. Chetrod, the northeast quarter of section 28. May 9, 1818, Icha- bod C. Griffin, the southeast quarter of section 24. August 29, same year, T. Ayeres and P. Mundy the southeast quarter of section 36, and Oct. 22, also same year, James Black the south west quarter of section 25.


Lick Prairie is the smallest precinct in the county, but it contains some excellent land and well-improved farms.


BIOGRAPHY.


JOHN STRAHAN (deceased,)


WAS born in Lawrence county, Kentucky, in 1825. William Strahan, his father, was a native of North Carolina, and from there moved to Kentucky, where be died. John Strahan came to Illinois in 1861, and set- tled in Bonpas township, Wabash county. He followed the peaceful avocation of a farmer. He lived near the present village of Bellmont until 1870, when he bought 130 acres of land in section 14 in Lick Prairie, and there made his home until his death, which took place February 4, 1883. He was a member of the Christian church, and lived a Christian life. He was a kind husband and an affectionate father, and died re-


gretted by all who knew him. He was a man of kind and generous impulses, though firm. He never made a contract or an obligation that he was not ready and willing to meet. That trait was eminently characteristic of him. He married Olivia Ann Newman, of Wayne county, West Virginia. She died in 1873. He sub- sequently married Mra. Ann Boyer. She still survives her husband. By the first marriage there were eight children, two are living, whose names are William H. and Rosaline Strahan. William H. was born February 19, 1854. He is yet at home carrying on the farm. He like his father before him votes the Republican ticket.


BOND.


LAWRENCE CO.


HIS township is bounded on the north by Crawford county, on the east by Russell, south by Lawrence, and west by Petty townships, and comprises portions of Con- gressional townships 4-11, 4-12, and 5-11, 5-12. The surface in the northwest is somewhat elevated and broken, and was at the time of the first settlements covered with scattering trees, and occasional patches of timber. On both sides of Brushy Fork, near the centre of the township, lies. Lackey's Prairie. On the west, along the Embarras river, there is a considerable amount of bottom land heavily covered with timber. Brushy Fork and the Embarras are the main sources of drain- age.


The earliest settlement in the township was made in the neighborhood of Pinkstaff station, about the year 1815, by Tennesseans. Adam Lackey, Sr., a Revolu- tionary soldier, came to Lawrence county in 1813, and went into Fort Allison. He had three children, Adam, Jr., Elizabeth and John, an infant of two years. At the return of peace and the cessation of Indian hostilities, he moved to the N. E. { of the S. E } of section 5, T. 4, R. 11, and there settled permanently and died. His sons, Adam, Jr., and John, married and settled in the vicinity, and have a number of representatives in the county. About this time, three brothers, William,


John and David McCord, with families sought homes in the same vicinity. They first settled on the N. E. quarter of the N. W. quarter of section 5, T. 4, R. 11. John and David located at what is now Pinkstaff sta- tion. A negro settlement was begun in the township, sections 8 and 9, T. 4, R. 11, in the year 1815 or '16. Lion and John Morris settled respectively on the N. E. quarter and the S. E. quarter of section 8, which they entered in 1816. In 1817 Joshua Anderson settled on the N. E. quarter of section 9. Elihu Cole, Obed Go- ings, John Porter and Matthew Steward lived in the same settlement. The Morris' and the three brothers Anderson were in Fort Allison, and used to go scouting with the other occupants. The mother of the Morris', whose husband was killed by the Indians, expressed the revengeful and mirth-provoking desire, that a cannon be placed on Dubois Hill to exterminate the race who were the authors of her wrongs. The negro settlement has been pushed southward, and now lies mainly in Law- rence township. About the year 1819 a community of the sect known as Shakers, numbering about forty in all, was formed on the Embarras river, at what is now Charlottesville, by immigrants from Shakertown, Knox county, Indiana, which, now extinct, was quite a village in 1821. The Shakers held their property in common, and transacted all business and financial matters through

a board of trustees composed of three individuals. Dan- iel Rankin and A. Gallaher were members of the first board. William Douglas, George Legier and William Davis also occupied the position of trustees. On their arrival, in 1819, they built two houses, one for the men and another for the women, as the sexes lived apart from each other. The "Shaker Mill " soon followed, and was put in operation in the spring of 1820. It was a frame water-mill with one set of burrs, and was built on the west bank of the river. The Shakers had oper- ated it about two years, when the breaking of the mill- dam cast discouragement about them, and having leased the property to a man named Beecher, they abandoned their plan of founding a permanent settlement on the Embarras, and emigrated to Shakertown and other points.


The lessee operated the mill about two years, when, in 1824, it was purchased by Asahel Heath and his son Renick, who moved it across the river to the present site of Charlottesville, rebuilt it, added a set of burrs, and operated ic fifteen or eighteen years. It enjoyed an active existence till about ten years ago when it was abandoned. Some three or four years since it was washed away. At one time it was an important centre, and attracted custom from points fifty miles distant. Asahel Heath, formerly from Ohio, had lived two years in Indiana, prior to his arrival in the township in 1824." He had a family of eight children, viz .: Renick, Ran- dolph, Asahel, Jr., Felix, John, Catharine, Charlotte and Osborn. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and held the commission of Major. He died in Crawford county. In 1827 Renick married Melinda Baker, with whom he is still living in Russellville. She came to Indiana as a part of her father's family two days after the battle of Tippecanoe, and to Illinois in 1817. Mr. Heath was a soldier in the Black Hawk war from Crawford county. One night while living at Shaker mill his slumbers were disturbed by the barking of a wolf which continued till day-break, when he took his gun and started on a tour of investigation. The wolf was jumping about and barking violently, and seemed not to notice a pursuer. Just then a panther leaped to the ground from a limb, and both animals made good their escape in opposite directions. Beneath the tree from which the panther leaped, was found the half de- voured body of a coon, which was the probable " boue of contention."


About the year 1818, William Childress from Tennes- see, married Jane Howard, and settled in the N. E. quarter of the N. W. quarter of section 5, T. 4, R. 11, where he settled permanently and died at the age of about seventy-five years. In this year Edward Mills married Prudence Howard and settled on the N. W. quarter of section 6, T. 4, R. 11. Near this time, John Dollahan, a Wesleyan Methodist minister, with a family of some size, from Ohio, located permanently on the N. E. quarter of section 5, T. 4, R 11, where he planted an orchard and founded the earliest grave-yard in the


township. James Bryant, a Tennesseean, about 1819 or '20, married Mrs. Anderson, whose first husband's father was one of the earliest settlers in Allison Prairie, made his home in section 5, T. 4, R. 11. William Ran- kin, a carpenter, who first located near Lawrenceville, moved, with his wife and three children, David, James and Susan, and settled half a mile south of Charlottes- ville, about 1835. In 1826, Levi and John Lee, from Ohio, the former with two children, Sobrina and Abner, settled respectively on the N. W. quarter and the S. E. quarter of section 33, T. 5, R. 11. After a residence of five years the former moved to Jasper county. Samuel Pollard, in 1825, brought from Tennessee a family of children, Edward, William, Madison, Jackson and Susan, and settled on the Dollahan place. Madison was drowned on the Embarras at the Shaker mill. The other children married and settled in the county. In this year Aaron Beck, brother-in-law of John Dollahan, came from Ohio with a family of five or six children and settled on the N. E. quarter of section 25, T. 5, R. 11, where after a number of years he died. John Helvenstein settled in the Pinkstaff neighborhood, about 1825. He came from Kentucky with a family of two sons, Washington and Andrew, and several daughters. Wilson Price, a soldier of 1812, born in North Carolina, came to Bond township from Tennessee in 1827, and with his wife and four children, W. C., James A., Har- riet A., and Mary J., settled on the S. E. quarter of sec- tion 2, T. 4, R. 12, where he resided permanently. He died in Lawrenceville in 1874 at the age of about ninety- two years. The sous married and became permanent residents of the township and county. Silas Reed, with one daughter, Sarah, from Tennessee, in 1827, settled on the N. W. quarter of section 1, T. 4, R. 12. William Norris operated a cotton gin for some time from the year 1826 on the S. W. quarter of the S. W. quarter of section 4, tp. 4, range 11, to which locality he had moved it from Allison prairie. Samuel Drake, an early settler with a family, made his home on the S. W. quar- ter of section 28, T. 5, R. 11. In 1828 came Edith Hunt, Allen G. McNece and Thomas Cook, from Ten- nessee. Mrs. Hunt had five children, Nancy, Sally, Perlina, George and Pollard. Her husband was shot for desertion in the war of 1812, and Wilson Price was one of the soldiers detailed for the execution. McNece and Cook were brothers-in-law and had families. William Mullen, also from Tennessee, with a family of six or seven children, settled in the township in 1830. The Mullens, Prices, Cooks and McNeces and Hunts were related, and formed a neighborhood in section 2, T. 4, R. 12 and section 35, T. 5, R. 12. In this neigh- borhood settled Edward and Jeremiah Taylor, young married men from Kentucky. Among the early settlers of the township were families named Prickey, Randolph and Nay.


The first house for school purposes was built of logs near the present Pinkstaff station about 1825, and re- mained in use some six years. Rev. John Dollahan
