In early boyhood, William Henry Jackson at- tended the old Silver school, still standing in Urbana Township. At the age of nine years he began working by the month, receiving four dollars per month and board for his services. He was thrifty and economical, and when fifteen years old (March 4, 1884), he bought eighty acres of land on Section 34, Urbana Township. At a later period he purchased eighty acres more, all of which he devoted to general farming. In the spring of 1892 he re- tired from farming and located at No. 107 N. Central street, Urbana, where he built a resi- dence which since has been his home.
On December 6, 1882, Mr. Jackson married Catherine Frances Carpenter, who was born in New York City, a daughter of Nelson D. and Catherine Frances (Ranner) Carpenter. The Carpenter family claims kinship with the royal family of Germany, and the mother of Mrs. Jackson was born at Meintz, near Frankfort, Germany.
FRANK H. JAHR, contractor, was born at Upper Sandusky, Ohio, in 1863, the son of August and Matilda (Heyland) Jahr, natives of Ger- many. He came to Illinois when but six years old, his parents locating in Mahomet, Cham- paign County, where he received his education in the public schools. Having served his ap- prenticeship to the carpenter trade in Mahomet, he later moved to Decatur, where he engaged in contracting and building. He came to Ur- bana in 1894, and since that time has carried on a successful contracting business. He erected the Morrisey Building in Champaign; the Baptist and Presbyterian churches, and County Jail Building, of Urbana. Besides these, he has erected other prominent buildings in various parts of the State.
Mr. Jahr was married in 1896 to Josephine F. Brown, a native of Illinois. Fraternally, he is affiliated with the Masonic order.

In 1896, he became Profes- sor of Public Administration and Director of the University Extension Division of the Uni- versity of Chicago, which he retained for six years, when, on February 1, 1902, he was in- augurated as the President of the North- western University at Evanston, Ill. In 1904, President Draper of the University of Illinois having tendered his resignation, there came an urgent appeal to Dr. James to accept the posi- tion as his successor, which he finally consented to do; and for the past year he has discharged the duties of this office under circumstances which promise a new and successful career for the institution.
President James has been prominently iden- tified with many economic associations, in- cluding the American Academy of Political and Social Science with headquarters in Phila- delphia, of which he was one of the founders and served as President for many years. He has also spent much time abroad in the study of questions connected with political economy and municipal government, and has been a voluminous writer on these themes. The hon- orary degrees conferred upon him include those of A. M. and Ph. D. by the University of Halle, Germany, and LL.D. by Cornell and Wesleyan Universities. He served as President of the American Society for the Extension of Uni- versal Teaching from 1891 to 1895; has been Vice-President of the Board of Trustees of the Illinois State Historical Library since 1897; Fellow of the Royal Statist Society, Dublin, since 1897, and a member of the Society d'Economie Politique, Paris.
On August 22, 1879, Dr. James was married at Halle, Germany, to Anna Margarethe Lange, daughter of Rev. Wilhelm Roderich Lange, and granddaughter of the famous Professor Gerlach, of the noted University at that place.

(now Colgate) University, Hamilton, N. Y. He began reading law in the East, but in 1858, came to Illinois, and finished his law studies under the preceptorship of Col. W. N. Coler, one of the noted pioneer lawyers of Urbana. After his admission to the bar Mr. Jaques formed a partnership with Col. Coler, which continued until the latter entered the Union army during the Civil War. At the end of the war he practiced his profession in partnership with J. C. Sheldon, for several years, the firm being well known throughout this part of Illi- nois. In later years he practiced alone, and for more than twenty-five years occupied a posi- tion among the leaders of the bar of Cham- paign County. For some years prior to his death, which occurred November 14, 1896, the private business interests of Mr. Jaques occu- pied the larger share of his time and attention. With his father-in-law-, William Park, he was the owner and operator of the Urbana & Cham- paign Street Railway for many years. He also had land interests in Champaign County. He was for a long time an active member of the Masonic order, and also of the Modern Wood- men of America.
Mr. Jaques was married, in 1860, to Miss Eliza J. Park, a daughter of William Park, a sketch of whose life will be found elsewhere in these volumes. Mrs. Jaques survives her husband, and still lives in Urbana. Their liv- ing children are: William P., of Galveston, Tex .; Minnie, of Urbana, and Robert L., of La- Fayette, Ind.
. WILLIAM H. JAQUES .- Mr. Jaques is a native of Munson, Geauga County, Ohio, where he was born February 8, 1820, when that region was sparsely settled. His father's name was Henry Jaques, and his mother's, Elizabeth (Porter) Jaques, the former, born in New York, and the latter, in Connecticut. His lineage is traced through a long line of New England ancestry. The early education of Mr. Jaques was ob- tained in the common schools of Ohio, where he was taught by Platte R. Spencer, well known in Northern Ohio as a pioneer teacher, especi- ally in penmanship. About the year 1852, Mr. Jaques became a citizen of Urbana, Ill., and was the first exclusive dealer in stoves and hardware to locate in Champaign County. From that date to the present, except during the Civil War, Mr. Jaques has continuously followed this
line of business at Urbana, Champaign and at Tolono, and is now one of the oldest business men of the county.
In 1846 Mr. Jaques was married to Eliza P. Dunham, a native of the State of New York, who died about 1852, leaving one son, John Henry, who is now a well-known business man of Tolono. Mr. Jaques was married a second time in 1857, his second wife being Sarah A. Whipple, who was also a native of the State of New York. She died in Urbana a year or two thereafter, leaving one child, since deceased.
In early life, Mr. Jaques served an apprentice- ship at the tinner's trade in Painesville, Ohio, and worked at his trade in Ohio until 1845, when he came to Illinois. He was located for a number of years at Joliet, where he worked as a tinner until 1850, when he crossed the plains to California, like many other young men of that period, in quest of gold. Two years later he returned to Illinois, when his residence in Champaign County commenced.
In August, 1862, Mr. Jaques became a soldier in Company K, One Hundred and Third Ohio Infantry, in which capacity he served until near the end of the war, when he was discharged for disability, incurred in the line of service. In 1866 he took up his residence at Tolono, where he has resided continuously ever since, being now practically retired. Mr. Jaques has been a lifelong member of the Masonic fraternity, in which he has been very active.

DR. CHARLES B. JOHNSON was born on a farm near the village of Pocahontas, Bond County, III., October 8, 1843. At an early age he was placed at farm work and in this way was occupied the greater part of the warm months, while during the winter season he at- tended the district schools of his native county wherein his preliminary education was ob- tained. Finally, when only eighteen years of age, he taught one of these schools during the winter term. Meanwhile the Civil War had broken out, and before he had reached his nine- teenth birthday, young Johnson on the 9th day of August, 1862, enlisted in Company F, One Hundred and Thirtieth Illinois Infantry, serving continuously till the war ended three years later.

J. MCCLELLAN KAUFMAN was born July
19, 1865, at Windfall, Tipton County, Ind., and received his early mental training in the public schools of Indianapolis. He is a son of Simon and Fannie (Ottenheimer) Kaufman, natives of Germany; his father died in 1896, at the age of 67 years, and his mother still lives at Indian- apolis.
Mr. Kaufman received a meager schooling at Indianapolis, and at the age of eleven years, became a cash-boy for L. S. Ayers & Co., dry- goods merchants of that city. He held that po- sition for three years, and then was employed in his father's crockery store, where he re- mained until 1881. In that year he came to Champaign and joined his brother, Aaron Kauf- man, who had started in the clothing business in 1879. Later he became a partner in the firm of Ottenheimer & Co., whose store was located at No. 18 Main street.
Mr. Kaufman remained with his brother until 1887, when he purchased the latter's interest in the business, Aaron going to Decatur, III. The firm of Ottenheimer & Co. was continued until the fall of 1899, when Mr. Kaufman be- came sole proprietor of the business. At that time the store was one story in height, eighty feet long, and in it were employed three clerks. Now it occupies 188 feet in length, has three floors and a basement, and the business occu- pies the attention of eleven clerks, a book- keeper, and a tailor. A shoe department and a tailoring department have been added, which is on the second floor, and a trunk department is conducted in the basement,-all of which show the enterprise of Mr. Kaufman, and the success of his management.

The entire family moved to Marshall County, Ill., and there, engaged in farming, the old folks spent the declining years of their lives, with the exception of a short time passed among friends. The father, who was of French origin, died in Ford County, Ill.
The subject of this sketch was reared on the home farm and received his mental train- ing in the public schools of Marshall County. He was married January 5, 1862, at Monmouth, Ill., to Orrille, a daughter of Elihu and Polly
(Ketchum) Doud, her parents being natives of Pennsylvania and New York, respectively. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Ketchum was Isaac Doud, a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

To Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum were born seven children, of whom four survive, namely: Halle A., Ivy Dell, George Clyde and Philip Rex. Those deceased are Ernest, Sidney, and Gail.
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum moved to Kewanee, Henry County, Ill., where they resided until March 1, 1877. Having pur- chased, during the preceding year, the present home place of 100 acres, in Champaign County, Mr. Ketchum settled there in 1877, and since then, another quarter-section has been added to the estate, which is now owned by the two eldest sons, Halle A. and George. In religion, Mr. Ketchum was a stanch adherent of the Primitive Baptist Church. He served as a member of the School Board of his district. His death occurred May 16, 1904. The Ketchum family is characterized by cultivation, refine- ment, and hospitality. The boys have all re- ceived a college training, and Miss Ivy Dell is a talented musician, having studied that art for two years in Wesleyan College, Blooming- ton, and later in the Conservatory of Music, in Boston, Mass. She devotes part of her time to teaching.
CHARLES O. KILE, lumber merchant, Ives- dale, Ill., was born in 1871, at Argenta, Ill., where he received a good common-school edu- cation. He was reared on the home farm and remained with his parents until he reached his majority, when, for the following six and a half years, he was engaged in
general merchandising. In 1902 he entered the lumber business at Ivesdale, where he opened a yard and now handles all kinds of lumber for build- ing. He also has yards at Bement and Bethany, Ill., and is interested in farm property.

SAMUEL W. KINCAID, physician and sur- geon, was born in West Union, Adams County,
965
HISTORY OF CHAMPAIGN COUNTY.
Ohio, July 15, 1823, the son of Judge John Kin- caid, for many years eminent as a jurist in the "Buckeye State." His brother, Hon. W. P. Kincaid, was a member of Congress from that State, at one time was prominently mentioned as a candidate for gubernatorial honors. The family is descended from the "Lairds of Kin- caid" of Sterlingshire, Scotland, whose history began back of the twelfth century. The first Kincaid in America, probably, settled in Vir- ginia in 1707. This was Captain John Kincaid, who was born in North of Ireland. His wife,
who was Margaret Lockhart before her mar- riage, was born in Scotland. Their son, Cap- tain James Kincaid, was a Revolutionary soldier, and his wife was a niece of James Wilson, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Dr. Kincaid received his academic education in the schools of Cincinnati, Ohio, and then matriculated in the Medical College of Ohio, in that city, from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1853. Shortly after taking his doctor's degree, he came to Illinois, and during the first two years of his residence in this State, practiced his profession at To- lono, Champaign County. In 1855, he estab- lished his home in Champaign-then called
West Urbana-and entered upon a long and eminently creditable career as a physician. After his retirement from active practice, he returned to Adams County, Ohio, and passed away near the scenes of his boyhood.
As one of the early medical practitioners in Champaign, Dr. Kincaid is remembered by those of his contemporaries who are still living, as an accomplished physician, a public-spirited citizen, and a genial gentleman of the old school. He was an early member of the Amer- ican Medical Association, and of the Illinois

State Medical Society, and one of the founders of the Champaign County Medical Society. He was a charter member also of Vesper Lodge, No. 231, the first lodge of Odd-Fellows organ- ized in Champaign.
Dr. Kincaid was married in Ohio, in August, 1851, to Miss Mary A. Carley, a daughter of Mark Carley, whose interesting and eventful career has been sketched elsewhere in these volumes, and who is a descendant of Revolu- tionary ancestors, one of whom, Mary Chilton, was the first white woman to set foot on Ply- moutlı Rock. Mrs. Kincaid was born in Cler- mont County, Ohio, in the same neighborhood in which General U. S. Grant was born, and as a child, attended the same school as did the
