Mr. Krum has been president of the school board six years, is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and has been treasurer of his lodge several years.


P ETER H. JOHNSON, a pioneer and hon- ored citizen of Blackberry Township, is one of the few men now living who may be called links connecting the events of nearly one hundred years ago with the present. He was a compatriot and school-fellow of the famed Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, and an acquaint- ance of the great Frenchman, La Fayette, and of Gen. Jackson, the last two of whom he met in the lodge room as a brother Mason. His first presidential vote was cast for Jackson, and at every presidential election since that time he has voted for the Democratic nominee.


He was born April 30, 1798, on Staten Island, N. Y., a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Hough- wout) Johnson, both natives of Staten Island, where they were married July 28, 1795. When he was about twenty-one years of age, he became acquainted with the Governor of New York, Dan- iel D. Tompkins, who advised him to purchase land at Tompkinsville, N. Y. Following this


634


KANE COUNTY.


advice, he located at that place in 1819, pur- chased land, and also a water front of 500 feet on New York Bay, and opened a store for the sale of boots, shoes and clothing. He subsequently erected several buildings, and he may be consid- ered one of the founders of Tompkinsville, having laid out and named many of its streets, more especially Broadway and Swan Street. He con- tinued his business and residence at this place for ten or twelve years; then sold his water front to Vanderbilt and Moran for $9,000, and removed to West New Brighton, Staten Island, where he was largely interested in real estate, and in the building up of the town. He donated the land for and laid out the street called Broadway and Division Avenue, from Broadway to Columbia Avenue, in that town, on which have since been erected some elegant and costly buildings.


Mr. Johnson was married in 1821 to Miss Ann Bogart, a native of Staten Island, born in the year 1800. By this union there were nine children, as follows: John B., a druggist at Mound City, Kas. : Eliza Ann. now widow of John Bodine, of Staten Island; Teresa, now Mrs. Joseph H. May- borne, of Geneva, Ill .; Sarah M. (deceased), who married W. H. Decker, now also deceased; Louisa, now Mrs. L. E. Reed, of St. Paul, Minn .; Peter, a resident of Waconda, Ill .; Harrietta, widow of J. K. Anthony, now living at Mound City, Kas. ; Nicholas H., of Blackberry Township; and Albert (deceased).


In 1842 Mr. Johnson, with his wife and family, removed to Illinois, where he purchased the south half of Section 10, eighty acres of the southeast quarter of Section 9, and 125 acres of the northwest quarter of Section 15, Blackberry Township, making a total of 525 acres. On this land he at once erected a house, hauling the tim- ber used in its construction by team from Chicago. In this residence he has lived with his family to the present time. He has been identified with the best interests of the township for forty-five years, and has served the public in several offices of honor and trust. Before coming west he had served as justice of the peace on Staten Island, as a captain of artillery, and as ensign in the Rich- mond County Guards. He was a resident of New


York City during the War of 1812, and helped to fortify Brooklyn on several occasions.


The good wife who had accompanied him to Illinois, and had been a true helpmeet and com- panion for forty-six years, passed to her last long sleep December 8, 1867. She was an earnest member of the Episcopal Church, an affection- ate wife and mother and an estimable woman, and was sadly missed by her family and friends. "Uncle Peter," as he is now familiarly called, was married a second time, April 21, 1870, to Mrs. F. B. Morehouse, who was born at Fow- lerville, N. Y., February 10, 1827, a daughter of Augustus and Rhoda Weller, who were farmers at that place, but were formerly from Pittsfield, Mass. They witnessed the burning of Buffalo, N. Y., by the British, during the War of 1812.


Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are happily circum- stanced, still residing at the old homestead in Blackberry Township, a beautiful location, situ- ated on the highest point in the township, afford- ing a magnificent view of the surrounding country. Upon the farm is an old Indian burying ground, in which is interred the son of the noted chief "Big Thunder." The house itself contains many interesting relics collected during the early man- hood of the owner. Among them is an old-fash- ioned clock, which he has had in his possession for over sixty years; portraits of Napoleon, Washı- ington, Gen. Scott, Gov. Daniel D. Tompkins, the table used by the latter-all once owned by Gov. Tompkins and purchased by "Uncle Peter" at an auction of the Governor's effects, in 1819.


W ASHINGTON H. GAUNT. In English history, the name Gaunt is associated more or less with heroic deeds in the bat- tles fought for national independence, centuries ago; and the name is not uncommon in Nottinghamshire, where lived the ancestors of the subject of this memoir. Washington H. Gaunt was born in Blackberry Township, Kane County, December 4, 1851, a son of Henry and Millicent (Pouley) Gaunt, natives of Nottingham. England, who came to America in 1847, locating; in Phila- delphia for a short time. They then came west,

and purchased a farm in Blackberry Township, this county, where they commenced agriculture. Henry Gaunt also bought and shipped stock, being one of the first shippers from this region. Here he resided until his death, which occurred September 28, 1880. His widow survives, and is a resident of Elburn, now in the sixty-eighth year of her age.


Washington H. Gaunt, the fourth in a family of six children, received a good education, and for a time engaged in teaching. In 1872 he went to St. Louis and took a course in book-keeping and telegraphy at the Metropolitan Business College. Returning to Elburn, he was appointed there assistant station agent and telegrapher by the Chicago & North-Western Railroad Company. After serving in this capacity about two years, and spending one season at home on the farm, he entered the store of L. R. Reed & Sons as clerk, and, eighteen months later, purchased Mr. Reed's interest, continuing the business with C. A. Reed, a son of L. R. Reed. About three years after- ward the firm name was changed to Gaunt & Cline, and, four years after that, to the present style of Gaunt & Co.


December 22. 1880, Mr. Gaunt married Nellie Kendall, who was born at Elburn, Ill., June 23, 1859, daughter of Lorenzo D. and Mary S. (Bur- roughs) Kendall, natives of Chio, and pioneers of Illinois. Her father died in January, 1868, and her mother in April, 1884. Mr. and Mrs. Gaunt have had one child, Myrl A., who was born March 3, 1885. Mr. Gaunt is a Republican, and has been a member of the town board.

The gentleman whose name heads this sketch, the eldest of a family of nine children, acquired a good education, engaged in teaching for several years, served a clerkship for Gaunt & Cline and Gaunt & Reed, at Elburn, and in January, 1879, was appointed cashier of the bank at this place, a position he has creditably filled to the present time. He was married April 7, 1883, to Anna S. Hughes, who was born at Lemon, Penn., Septem- ber 5, 1861, a daughter of William and Miranda (Smales) Hughes. Her father was a native of England, and her mother of Pennsylvania: they reside at Crow Lake, Dak.

Y., and a son of John and Matilda (Bosla) Snook, who were of German de- scent, and also natives of the Empire State, where they resided until their death. Of their family of six sons and two daughters, the subject of this biography is the first child. He first came to Illinois in 1845, when about sixteen years of age, and possessed of but little except youth, energy and perseverance.

trust, representing his township on the board of supervisors at the present time. Politically, he is a Republican, in religion, a Universalist, and socially, a Freemason. He is of that class of men generally termed self-made; and whatever he has acquired or accomplished worthy of praise has been the result of his own labor. Mr. Snook has been married twice, and his second wife, with whom he was united in 1860, was M. E. George, born in 1843 in Orange County, Vt .; they have one child living, Mattie, born July 24, 1863, and now wife of Frank Seavey, of Blackberry Township.

After the battle of Bull Run he was taken sick on the Rappahannock River, and sent to the hospital, where he lay suf- fering for months. He was honorably discharged in August, 1862, returned home, and engaged in hay packing, dealing in agricultural produce, and coal and live stock, as a member of the firm of Willis & Swain. In the spring of 1885 he sold his interest in the warehouse, invested in land in Kan- sas and Iowa, and stocked his Kansas farm with 260 head of cattle.
