November 2, 1851, Mr. Lormor was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Augustus and Harriet (Reed) Tremain, who had come to Illinois from Herkimer County, N. Y., in which place Mrs. Lormor . was born April 102 1835. Their union has been blessed with one daughter, Harriet Ada, who lives with her parents.
Mr. Lormor came to Illinois at a comparatively early day, and has seen many wonderful develop- ments in this part of the State. Like the other early settlers in Kendall County, he endured the privations of a pioneer's life, but looks back upon those days, notwithstanding this, as among the happiest of his life. With his former old neigh- bors, he tells of their trips to Chicago, fifty miles away, hauling their grain to market, and crossing the "nine-mile slough," where often their load had to be taken off and carried to a dry place, while the wagon was lifted out of the mud. Those early struggles but developed and strengthened his robust frame, and now, a good specimen of physical manhood, he is enjoying the comforts and repose earned by a life of well-directed toil, in which he was ably seconded by a good wife. In politics Mr. Lormor is a stanch adherent of the Republican party, but, while doing his duty as a citizen at the polls, he has never desired to hold any office which he could avoid. His fellow-towns- men speak of him as a man of unswerving honesty and uprightness of character,
OHN M. NADEN (deceased) was born April 13, 1816, in Derbyshire, England, and emi- grated to America in the summer of 1842. He came to this county direct, and worked about among the farmers in Lisbon for several years. His parents, Samuel and Martha (Millner) Naden, came to this township in 1846, and settled on Section 13, purchasing 160 acres, 120 of which they obtained from the Government. John lived with his parents after their arrival until he was married, September 17, 1852, to Elizabeth Broad- bent. She was born July 11, 1834, in Cheshire, England, one of a family of two daughters born to Joshua and Margaret (Sidebotham) Broadbent. The latter died in England, and, with his two daughters, Mr. Broadbent came to America in 1842. He located in Ford County, where he died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Ann Shoemaker, in July, 1881, aged seventy-six years. After mar- riage our subject located on the farm his father settled, and continued here until his decease, April 13, 1864, of consumption. He was very highly

respected in the community as a good citizen and a kind neighbor. He was a Christian, having been converted in England, where his father was a lo- cal preacher. His home was always open to the minister of the Gospel, and he died in the belief of a glorious immortality, saying just before his death. "All is well." He left a widow and six children, whose names in order of birth are Mary, Sarah, Maria, Samuel. John and James. Mary is the wife of George Brown, and resides in Fox Township; Sarah resides in same township, wife of Elmer Bushnell; Maria resides at Sycamore, De Kalb County, wife of William Sabel; Samuel re- sides near the homestead, and is married to Nellie Page; John and James reside with their mother, on the homestead. The names of Mr. Naden's broth- ers and sisters are as follows: Samuel, Thomas, Henry, Philip, Isaac, Obadiah, Mary and Re- becca. Samuel, Henry and Obadiah settled in Grundy County; Thomas resides in Lisbon Town- ship: Isaac settled in Mitchell County, Iowa; Philip removed to California, and was killed in a gold mine; Mary married Joseph Buckley.
W ILLIAM PERRY FARGUSSON was born on the farm on which he now re- resides October 9, 1847, and is the son of one of the pioneers of Kendall County, William Fargusson, who was born in Fleming County, Ky., January 15, 1804, and was a son of Aaron, a Scotchman by birth, who was an im- migrant to Kentucky. William married Sarah Price. a native of Kentucky. born about the year 1809. She was a daughter of William Price, who was a near relative of Gen. Sterling Price, of Con- federate fame, in Missouri. William Fargusson, the father of William P., came to Illinois from Kentucky in 1836, and experienced all the depriva- tions pioneers were subject to. He stopped the first year in the southeast part of Little Rock Township, Kendall County, and the year follow- ing located on Section 24. purchasing a quarter section of land. Unlike those of that time, who built nothing but log huts, he wagoned the lum- ber for his house from Chicago. The roads were often impassable, and the settlers were scarcely
able at times to procure the absolute necessaries of life. It is related of Mr. Fargusson that, on one occasion, he was offered $35 for a barrel of salt, which he happened to have secured in good time. He experienced all the inconveniences of those days, when they hauled their wheat to Chicago and sold it for 35 cents a bushel, and pork was $1.50 per 100 pounds. He lived on this farm the re- mainder of his days, and died January 14, 1SS4. His wife had preceded him to the grave, having died January 2, 1865. Both were highly honored and respected for their many sterling and good qualities. To them was born a family of seven children: Elihu, John T., Thomas, Ann E., Elton, Laura and William P., all lived to be grown. Elihu went to California, and died soon after his arrival; John T. and Elton died in Little Rock Township; Thomas is a farmer of Clark County, Kas .; Ann E. married G. W. Swartwout, and lives in the same place; Laura married Jacob Hiddle- son, and moved to Clayton County, Iowa. William Perry Fargusson is now the only representative of this family in Kendall County. February 27, 1868, he was united in marriage with Caroline Ford, a native of Canada West, born in 1844, a daughter of William and Eliza Clifford Ford, of Scotland and Ireland, respectively. Mrs. Caroline Fargusson's grandfather was William Ford, and her grandmother was Elizabeth Stevenson. Mr. and Mrs. Fargusson have had nine children: Stephen, John, William, Jane, Caroline, Rebecca, James, Elizabeth and Lucinda. Stephen resides in Canada: William and Jane are in Kane County ; John is in Marshall County, Iowa. Those de- ceased are Rebecca (who was twice married-first, to Herman Smith. by whom she had three children. and, second, to James E. Goodwin, by whom she had two: James (died in boyhood), Elizabeth (married Edmund Banberry, but had no children), Lucinda (married Ed. Tiffany, but had no issue). William Ford, father of Mrs. Fargusson, was a soldier in the late War of the Rebellion, as was also his son John. William was a member of Company H, Fifty-fifth Regiment Illinois Volunteers, and lost both eyes at the battle of Shiloh. He died April 24, 1879, aged sixty-one years. To Mr. and Mrs. Fargusson have been born two children:

Cora L. and Lottie May. The first named died at the age of four months and two days. Lottie May is at home with her parents. She is a fine amateur musician, and an excellent performer on the violin. In his farm Mr. Fargusson has 101 acres of rich and well-improved land, upon which is a fine fish pond-a beautiful lake fed by springs -which is stocked with carp. In addition to being a good farmer, he is a stock breeder, and has some fine Clydesdale and Cleveland Bays in his stables.
H ON. E. W. FAXON, a member of the Thirty-fifth General Assembly, of Kendall County, Ill., was born in Little Rock Town- ship, Kendall County, January 22, 1857, on the farm in Section 24, where his father had set- tled. He is the eldest son of W. S. and Zelia M. (Gilbert) Faxon, and was brought up among the busy scenes of his father's farm. His primary education was gleaned from the common schools of his neighborhood, and afterward he attended the Northern Indiana Normal School, at Valpa- raiso, from which he graduated, afterward teaching school in Kendall County four terms. Mr. Faxon, then becoming desirous of applying himself for a time to literary work, moved to Amboy, Ill., where for three years he was connected with the Amboy Journal, in which he owned a two-thirds interest. Disposing of this, he served one year in the office of the Secretary of State, under Henry D. Dement, en- gaged in clerical work, after which he moved to Aurora, Ill., "where he resided one year. Return- ing to Kendall County in November, 1882, and having decided to settle in Fox Township, Mr. Faxon purchased the farm he now owns and resides on in Section 1, it being a portion of the property then owned by Samuel Pope, and which farm now comprises 163 acres of well-improved land. Here Mr. Faxon carried on successfully gen- eral farming and stock raising.
December 15, 1879, he married Miss Ella Ida Cherry, born April 9. 1856, in Na-au-say Township, Kendall County, youngest daughter of Moses (a prominent farmer) and Sarah Ann (Mills) Cherry, and by this union one child, Lillian, was born December 22, 1880, at Amboy, Ill.
Mr. Faxon was elected a member of the Legis- lature in November, 1886, and has made a good record for himself and his constituents. He was chairman of the committee on agriculture and horticulture, and was also a member of the committees on railroads, warehouses, State and municipal indebtedness, and printing. He in- troduced the bill for the permanent location of the Illinois State Fair, which passed the House (Springfield being selected), but was defeated in the Senate by a deadlock which lasted nearly a week-a majority being for the bill, but the rules required a two-thirds majority to take it up out of its regular order, which could not be secured. He was active in securing the passage in the House of Senate Bill 204, to protect stock breeders, which bill became law; he supported House Bill 132, relating to stock yards, which bill passed the House but failed in the Senate. Representing, as he does, an agricultural district, Mr. Faxon has not only given special attention to measures affect- ing the interests of his immediate constituents, but has not infrequently been called upon to give his vote and influence towards measures concerning the State at large. Mr. Faxon is, and has been for the last three years, secretary of the Kendall County Agricultural Society, and organized the first farmers' institution ever held in the county (the Kendall County Farmers' Institute), and was made its president. Ever the farmers' friend, his activity is ceaseless in doing all he can for the advancement of their interests. Mr. Faxon is now a justice of the peace, and has also held most of the other township offices.
W ILLIAM TUCKER KENDRICK. Rev. W. P. Kendrick, father of William T., was a native of Hollis, N. H., born January 27, 1790. He graduated with high honors at Harvard University, and was for six years a profess- or in the same institution. At the age of twenty- five he engaged in the home mission work in New York, and became widely recognized as a zealous worker and eloquent speaker. In 1826 he mar- ried Emily Tucker, who was born in Suffield, Conn., October 23, 1804. She bore him the following

children: William Tucker, who bears his mother's maiden name; Emily J., who married Levi H. Lane, and resided in Bristol, where she died, leav- ing four children-three sons and one daughter.
The Kendricks came west in 1846, and located in the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 13, which Rev. W. P. Kendrick pur- chased, paying $1.25 per acre therefor. Here he engaged in farming and made his home until he died, November 5, 1854, venerable in years, em- inent in bearing and eloquent of speech. He cast his lot among the pioneers and gave them, without money and without price, his services as minister of the gospel. His widow died November 4, 1861. Her father was Morris Tucker, who was born Sep- tember 5, 1771, at Suffield, Conn., and died June 7, 1854; he was married September 6, 1796, to Ruth Fowler, who was born at Agawam, Mass., September 28, 1774, and died April 29, 1863.
The following is taken from the New York Evangelist, of November 30, 1854:

DIED-At Bristol, Kendall Co., Ill., November 5, 1854, after a severe illness of four weeks, of ty- phoid fever and dysentery, Rev. William P. Ken- drick, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. Mr. Ken- drick was born at Hollis, N. H., January 27, 1790. At the early age of eleven years he became hope- fully converted, and resolved by the aid of Divine grace to devote the best of his life to the eternal interests of his fellow-men. In accordance with this resolution he fitted for college, graduated at Harvard University, and studied his profession at the Theological Seminary at Andover, returning to Harvard, and remaining six years as professor, after which he removed to the State of New York, acting as a home missionary for nearly thirty years. During this period his labors were, by the blessing of God, often signally favored by the outpourings of the Holy Spirit. In 1846, he repaired to Illi- nois and there ended his days. In view of death he was calm and self-possessed. He said on his dying bed, "Death has lost its sting." His trust was in God and in His truth, and in what He had done for him. The Saviour was precious, the gos- pel of Jesus Christ a glorious one. He appeared ready to depart. His last Sabbath on earth was, we trust, the commencement of an eternal Sabbath
of rest in the bright world above. His death is, to his family, a deep affliction, and a loss to the church and the world.
William Tucker Kendrick is the eldest in his father's family, and was born December 5, 1829, in Shelby, Orleans Co., N. Y. He came west with his parents, when grown became a school teacher, and taught several winters, working during the summer on the farm.
November 6, 1856, William T. Kendrick and L. Irena Swift were united in the bonds of wed- lock. She was born July 8, 1834, in Cherry Val- ley, Otsego Co., N. Y., the second daughter of Joseph and Susan McLean Swift.
The next six years after marriage they resided on the homestead farm, and then removed to their present comfortable home, where they have pros- pered well, and are now to a great extent resting from the arduous labors of their hands. The pleas- ant rooftree contains Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick, and their only daughter, Lou D. Their other child, Lizzie V., was born March 27, 1860, and died June 2, 1866.
W H. FRITTS is one of the skilled work- men employed by the Plano Manufactur- ing Company. He is a native of Albany County, N. Y., a son of Peter and Char- lotte (Underhill) Fritts, and was born November 4, 1839. He came to Illinois with his parents, who settled in Newark, Big Grove Township, Ken- dall Co., in 1845,
November 26, 1860, W. H. Fritts and Joseph- ine Washburn were married. She is the third daughter of William and Phœbe A. (Cromwell) Washburn, of Dutchess County, N. Y. The grandparents of Mrs. Fritts were John C. and Sarah Cromwell Washburn. Soon after the mar- riage of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Fritts, they removed to Bureau County, Ill., near Sheffield, where they resided until 1863, when they returned to Newark.

ment, served his term of enlistment, and was honor- ably discharged July 8, 1865. When he came home from the war he engaged at cabinet work, and continued at this until his removal to Plano, in 1881, where he has resided since, and been in the employ of the Plano Manufacturing Company- first in the wood work department, but since 1883 as a pattern-maker. He is regarded by the company as one of their skilled and best workmen. He has accumulated a comfortable competence, is a stu- dious reader, and keeps thoroughly posted on the progress of the age.

Mr. Fritts is a member of the City Board of Health, a member of the I. O. O. F., Little Rock Lodge, and the A. O. U. W. of Plano. He is also a director and one of the prime organizers of the Cooperative Supply Store.
A LBERT CORNELIUS MILLER is a rep- resentative farmer of Little Rock Town- ship. He was born February 23, 1846, in New York, and is the only son now liv- ing, of a family of three sons and two daugh- ters. The daughters are Julia, a resident of Streator, the wife of John S. Ryan, and Ida, who married Walter Eastman, now in Dickinson Coun- ty, Iowa. Their parents were Stephen and Jane (Crapser) Miller, of New York, who came to Illi- nois in the summer of 1846, and first settled near Bristol, but afterwards removed to Little Rock Township, and purchased a farm of 117 acres of Abraham Miller. This was the "Pike Tract," and the price per acre was $7. It had at that time but scanty improvements. Mr. Miller re- sided on the farm until 1873, when he removed to Sandwich, and, now, in the sixty-seventh year of
his age, is retired and enjoying a quiet and comfort- able life. His wife, Jane, died in December, 1871. She was a daughter of Cornelius Crapser. Albert C. Miller's paternal grandfather was John Miller, who reared a family of thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters, who all lived to be mar. ried. The sons were James, Melvin, Abram, John, George, Jacob and Steven. Of these John and George are residents of Jasper County, Iowa; Jacob of Pawpaw, Lee County. The daughters were, in the order of their births, Rachel, Nancy, Marietta, Sarah M., Hannah and Jemima. Rachel married Nathaniel Halsted, of Buchanan County, Iowa; Nancy and Sarah M. are in Jasper County, in that State (the latter is the wife of John Canon); Marietta married John McCoy, and is in California; Hannah, now deceased, mar- ried Jacob Ables; Jemima is in Benton Coun- ty, Iowa, widow of Thomas Avery. Of the sons of this family Albert Cornelius is the only survivor. He was reared in his father's farm, where he grew to his majority, and January 6, 1870, married Fannie Church, who was born in Putnam County, Illinois, June 28, 1852, and is the only child of Nathan and Eleanor Church, both natives of Vermont, who came to Illinois in the early days. Nathan Church was a trader, and bought furs of the trappers in early days. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Miller have five children: Stephen A., George N., Luta G., Nellie and Hazel. Mr. A. C. Miller is a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. He has some fine Percheron horses, Dur- ham cattle and Poland-China hogs, many of which are full-bloods, and all of high grade. He is a member of the United Workmen of Sandwich, and in politics a Republican.
ENRY ABBY (deceased). This highly re- spected citizen of Little Rock Township was a native of Dutchess County, N. Y., born August 29, 1813, the eldest of the family of eight children of Russell B., a son of Shadrach Abby, of Connecticut. The latter, when a young man, removed to the then wild and newly-settled portion of New York, now embraced in Otsego County. He married a Miss Briggs,
903
KENDALL COUNTY.
and became the father of six children: David, Jonathan, Shadrach, Polly, Asenath and Russell B.
The last named, when a young man, migrated to the East to learn the trade of millwright, which he followed several years. He married Sarah Vail, and soon after engaged in business as a wagon-maker and house carpenter. They had eight children: Henry, Barney, Cyrena, John and Phebe (twins), Maria, Jane and Julia. Barney is in Little Rock Township; Cyrena, now deceased, married S. Houghtalin; John is in Waterman, Ill. ; Phebe married M. T. Green, and is deceased; Maria is in Hinckley, Ill .; Jane married C. F. Paull, and is in Aurora; Julia married Abram Still. None of the deceased died under the age of fifty-two years. Henry Abby also learned the trade of wheelwright, and followed it in his native town until 1838, when he moved to New York, where he followed draying and hauling .. He married Mary P., daughter of Gilbert and Sarah Powell Fowler. Mary P. was born in Dutchess County, March 25, 1806, and was married May 10, 1836. Gilbert Fowler was a son of Amasa and Phebe Haight Fowler. . Sarah Powell was a daughter of John and Elizabeth Kipp Powell. John Powell was one of the early settlers of Dutchess County, and was a Revolutionary soldier. Mrs. Henry Abby is one of a family of eleven children-six sons and five daughters: Weeden, James, Ammon, Dorinda, Phebe, Mary, Gilbert, Susanna, Anna, Abram and Mary. All of the sisters came to the West. Dor- inda married Dr. J. T. H. Brady, and is de- ceased; Phebe married W. L. Wiley; Susanna married L. D. Brady, of Aurora; Anna married Jesse Brady. This record shows that three sisters of the Abby family were married to three brothers of the Brady family. Henry Abby started to mi- grate with his family to Illinois, June 22, 1840, and after a pleasant voyage by land and water reached the township of Big Rock July 4, of that year. He purchased eighty acres, now in Big Rock Township, across the line in Kane County, where he farmed for several years. Four children were born in this family: Lorenzo, Dorinda A., Sarah and Susan M. Sarah married John H. Pratt, and Susan M. married Edward T. Clark. Both reside in Big Rock Township. Mr. Abby
was a stanch Republican, and has served as road commissioner and notary public for twenty years. He was one of the prominent and influential men of Little Rock Township, and died January 12, 1888. His parents, Russell B. and Sarah (Vail) Abby, on coming to Illinois, purchased the mill power on Big Rock Creek, where Russell B. died; his widow, Sarah, died at our subject's home, in 1865, and the remains of all three are interred in Fowler Grove Cemetery.
R EV. JOHN F. OKERSTEIN is a native of near Motala, Ostergötland, Central Swe- den, born October 9, 1837. He is the eldest son in a family of seven children, and is the only one of the family that immigrated to America. In early life he learned the trade of moulder in the great foundry at Motala, where he worked for six years, and mastered his trade. Some of his family were wealthy and powerful in his native land, yet at an early day the lad was thrown upon his own resources, and commenced the battle of life on his own account. When he was fifteen years of age his circumstances had been such that he was unable to write, but the youth made a firm resolve that he would secure an education. He served his apprenticeship, and, at twenty years of age, applied himself to study. By the time he reached his majority, lie was well grounded in the fundamentals of an elementary education, and, of course, with such a determined resolution, he soon was the master of a liberal ed- ucation, especially in the sciences.
In 1865, John F. Okerstein and Sophia, daugh- ter of Lars Larson, were united in marriage, and three years after (1868) the married couple bade farewell to their native land and sailed for Amer- ica. On reaching our shores, they determined to push their way to the West. They were detained some time in Pennsylvania by the sickness of Mrs. Okerstein, but the same year reached Chicago, where he found immediate employment as molder in a foundry. They made their residence in Chi- cago until the great fire of 1871, when he went to Green Bay, Wis., and worked at his trade, remain- ing there sixteen months, when, being strongly

solicited to return to the rebuilt city of Chicago, he did so, arriving there in 1876, and resuming his trade. Soon after he united with the church, through the ministrations of Mr. Moody, and in a short time was assigned to the work in the mission charge, in which he laborcd diligently and effect- ively until 1884. That year he changed his resi- dence and came to Plano, where he accepted employ- ment in the Plano Manufacturing Company, con- tinuing his church work as a member of the Con- gregational Church of this place.
He has successfully worked his way in life, from boyhood to the present time. He has pros- pered in gaining the respect and esteem of his fellow men and in acquiring the material comforts of life. The story of his life in the New World would fire the laudable ambition of many a fair-haired boy of his native land, and make him solemnly re- solve that some day he would "go and do like- wise." It would plainly say to him that the world is wide and big and generous to patient merit and industy.
The handsome family residence in Plano was built in 1885. Here are father, mother and their daughter, Olga, in the quiet of a happy and con- tented home.
G B. LESTER, M. D., was born in St. John, New Brunswick, March 23, 1830, son of James Gilbert and Martha (Bennett) Lcster, natives of England. James Gilbert Lester was a merchant at St. John. Hc married there, and died at the age of sixty-eight years. Dr. Lester received a liberal training in the schools of his native city, and at the age of eighteen years came west, locating in Aurora. He was engaged in teaching school in Bristol, also clerkcd in a store, afterward doing business in Chicago until the com- pletion of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail- road through Bristol, when he was appointed agent at that place, serving for a few years. Dur- ing that time he had closely applied himself to the study of medicine, and, having accumulated suffi- cient means to attend college, he became a stu- dent and was graduated at Rush Medical College, Chicago, Ill., in the class of 1863-64.
