who was a native of Ireland. When the War of 1812 broke out, Charles enlisted and served through the whole campaign. After the war he engaged in farming and stock growing in Ohio and Indiana, until 1830, when he removed to Illinois and settled at what is known as " Reed's Grove," in Will county, taking up a claim of 160 acres on what is now JJoliet. He built the first house ever built in that city. and erected the first house at the Grove, in 1832. When the Black Hawk war broke out he removed his family to Park county, Indiana. After the Indian troubles he returned to his elaim and engaged in farming. le built a flouring mill in Joliet in the year 1834, and was, in fact, the man who laid out and started the town where he made the claim, and intended to purchase the same when it came into market, but lost it through the act of a so-called friend. Charles Reed built the log fort at Reed's Grove for a protection against the Indians, and when he had it ready to raise the prominent men of Chicago came out to assist in the work. While he lived in Will county he took a prom- inent part in politics. Being a strong anti-slavery man, he was honored with state and county offices.

After his marriage he removed to Mercer county, I., and purchased 160 acres of land, built a house and improved his farm. His wife, who was afflicted with consumption, becoming worse, requested that she be taken back to her home in Indiana. Two years after his arrival in Moreer county he returned with his sick wife to her home, where she died the day after her arrival.

CHAPTER XXI.
PENN TOWNSHIP.
HIE commissioners appointed under the act of 1sal to divide the county into townships gave the present name to township 13. north. range 7. cast. in 1853. Prior to this time it was known as Spoon river precinct, and some- times given the name of some leading old settler, or calle i according to the number of assessors' district. The town- ship is rich in its fertile lands. Many large farms are found here, and all-large and small-tell of the hos- bandman's care and toil. Coal fields underlie the town- ship, and a good quality of fire-clay is found in some places. The streams and rivulets, common to the other townships, may be said to be wanting here. although Cooper's Defeat ereek, a modest stream, courses through its northern sections. The fact of good water being found a few feet below the surface more than compensates for the absence of streams. Except in dry seasons. such as that of last year, artificial wells produce an abundant supply. The villages of the township are Castleton, Walden and Camp Grove. The population in 1880 was 1.216, now estimated at 1,300. In this township is found the only German Evangelical Lutheran church in the county. Here also is the center of the Pleasant View circuit of the Methodist Protestant church. The origin of the name "Cooper's Defeat Creek." as determined by the pioneer of Peoria, Captain Haacke (lickey), is as follows: "The winter of 1831 32 was the winter of the deep snow. the weather before Christmas being pleasant. when a party of four men were equipped by a trader by the name of John Hamhn, then of Peoria, who was buying furs for the American Fur Company. Fitting them out with an ox team of two yoke and provisions for their journey from Peoria to the Winnebago swamps. with provisions to trade with the Winnebagos and Pottawatomies, they proceeded on their journey. Snow commenced to fall, the air grew colder, and continued to grow more so as they journeyed along, until they were compelled by the fierce cold and driving snow to abandon their team. The snow was so deep the cattle got swamped, and they were left to their fate. With Boyd's Grove in view, the men started. guided by a large tree and a light at the grove. Ridgeway was the only one who succeeded in making his way to the grove. The other three. two of whom were Bifl and Jerry Cooper (the other name forgotten ). perished on the prairie near a stream south-west of Boyd's Grove. The bones of the men and cattle were seen in the spring following, also the sled, as the soldiers of the Black Hawk war were marching, all mounted, 260 strong, to make battle with the Sac and Fox Indians."
