David De Wolf .- In closing this chapter a reference must be made to Captain David De Wolf. He enlisted early in the war from this place, and was commissioned captain of Company K, 47th Illinois Infantry, a company he was instrumental in recruiting. Ile was known by his comrades to be an honorable, conscientious, and brave officer, and fell mortally wounded, and lived but a few minutes, while leading his company in a desperate charge at the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi. As stated in the history of De Wolf Post. the organiza- tion is named in his honor.
Mrs. Keziah (Dexter) Young, born at China, Me., in 1799, married Stephen Yonng in 1822, came with him to Toulon, and died here Feb- ruary 3, 1886. Her son died here July 22, 1886.
B. F. Young died in July. and was interred July 22, 1886. Ilis sons, Walter and Frank Young, who resided at Geneva, Neb., arrived in time to see this old settler take his last sleep. His resolution to see them extended his lease of life at least a day.

CHAPTER XVII.
ELMIRA TOWNSHIP.
A PERIOD of time, little over half a century, has passed away since the American pioneers of this division of the county made their first settlements here. Those years have been replete with changes, social, political, religious, even physical change. The visitor of today, ignorant of the past history of Elmira. could scarcely realize the fact that within five decades a large population grew up. where, in the second quarter of the Nineteenth Century, Indian tepees stood, and the savages themselves had worn the war- paint and retained their scalp-belts. The people have not only increased in number, but also in wealth, refinement and all those characteristics of advancement which mark the older settlements of the North Atlantic states. Cultivated fields now occupy the hunting grounds of the aboriginal races; while a people endowed with the highest faculties have taken the place of the llinois and Pottawatomies themselves. There are but few left of the old landmarks-still a smaller number of old settlers. Civiliza- tion and its demands have conspired to raze every monument of the red man-to obliterate almost every trace of his occupancy. Old time, too, has not looked calmly on; but, by way of reprisal. has driven many a pioneer to the promised land beyond the grave. or led others from the old homestead westward in the track of the Indians, to reenact beyond the Mississippi the drama of early settle- ment. As a general rule, the men and women who first settled in this township were fearless, self-reliant and industrions. No matter from what state or what country they came, there was a similarity of char- actor. In birth, education, language and religion, there were ditfer- ences : but such differences did not interfere with harmony; on the contrary. they were lost in association ; forgotten in that common inter- est which united all. In such a community there was a hospitality. a kindness, a benevolence, and high above all, a charity, unknown and unpracticed among the oldler, richer and more densely populated set- tlements of trans-Alleghany counties, just in the same manner, per- haps, as there was a higher faith animating the early Christians than that which marks our latter day Christianity. The very nature of the surroundings of those pioneers taught them to feel each other's woe, to share each other's joy, and live in communal integrity. Therefore it is not strange that, among the old settlers of this township, a deep- seated friendship existed and grew and strengthened with their advancing years. The incidents peculiar to life in a new country - the privations and trials of early settlement in the wilderness, were
420

well calculated to test, not only the physical powers of endurance, but also the moral, kind, generous attributes of true womanhood and man- hood : and bring to the surface all that was in them of good or evil. In this chapter, taken in connection with others, a full effort is made to deal in a thorough manner with the pioneers and old settlers. Almost the whole story is based upon the anthority of records, and thus, at least, claims authenticity -a fact which must go far to com- pensate for the absence of legendary or unauthenticated relations.
This division of the county is certainly one of the fairest parts of Illinois. Prior to 1834. it was a common hunting-ground for the Indians, and even that year the population of the settlement therein was made up of two families. In 1835 the Peoria colony arrived, set- tlements extended. and within forty-five years the minber of residents increased to 978, including the population of Osceola. sixty-nine. and of Ehnira, eighty-four. With the exception of the wild land, along Spoon river, the township presents a rare scene of pastoral beauty. With very few exceptions, the homes of the people may be classed as residences, for they are generally large houses, surrounded by well- kept lawns or gardens-in every house a library, and in every garden, flowers. The fields, too, are laid ont regularly, enclosed by Osage orange hedges, and in each miniature swail, a line or grove of willows, sometimes trimmed to correspond with the hedge, but oftener allowed to attain full growth for shade or shelter. On the west and north the township is bounded by Henry and Bureau counties, on the east by Osceola Township, and on the south by Toulon Township.
The coal fields of the township are extensive, but the industry has not claimed much attention. One mile north of Elmira post office, is Thomas Oliver's coal shaft, opened in the winter of 1885-86. The coal produced is large block, equal to any hitherto mined in the county. There are small onterops in the river region of the township, which have been worked for years. Native and cultivated groves are seat- tered throughout the township, while in the river valley plenty of na- tive timber is still to be found. In a few instances, as at Dr. Board- man's, groves of thrifty pine are found. and on the lawns several spe- cies of ornamental pine, juniper and cedar find a home. The progress of the district within a half century was entirely unexpected by the great majority of the pioneers. Robert Hall in his reminiscences of 1837, relates that while aiding in building a barn for Major Robert Moore, the son of the latter, now of Toulon, remarked that the time would come when a railroad would stretch across the prairies from Chicago to Burlington through this county. Mr. Hall thought over the matter, conversed with other pioneers, and ultimately appealed to David Currier for an opinion. The latter declared emphatically, that the " prophet was crazy." The prophets in other branches were also set down as a species of madmen.
