HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY

while a man of energy and force he found in the cooperation of Henry F. Black, William H. Rollosson, Dr. Ben. Newlon, Thomas Richart and other pioneers, the assistance needed to further plans that had for their object the es- tablishment of mercantile houses and the va- rious enterprises that build up trade. In ante- bellum days Dallas City was known as one of the important shipping points on the river for grain and other commodities. In 1857 Henry F. Black added materially to the industrial life of the place, then a new town on the west- ern border of Illinois. He built a sawmill and manufactured lumber from logs rafted down the river from the northern pineries. This mill was operated for many years, and, having in connection an extensive lumber yard, trade in- creased from year to year. Thousands of bushels of grain were bought and shipped. In those days the river was the only means of transportation and during the boating season steamboats lined the landing every day taking on or unloading cargoes.

· Dallas City was first connected with the out- side world by railroad in 1869 when the C. B. & Q., built from Burlington to Quincy what is still known as the Carthage branch. The late General Charles A. Gilchrist was a leading spirit in this project, he having secured most of the right of way through Hancock County. In 1886 the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad was extended from Kansas City to Chicago, and Dallas City being on the river made it the first town of note on that system in the State of Illinois. The acquisition of this transcon- tinental line has been of great benefit to Dallas City. Today it numbers among its industries and enterprises carriage factory, button works, Crystal Springs Water Co., manufacturers of soda water and other soft drinks, Dallas City Lumber Co., one of the largest retail yards in western Illinois, two banks, two newspaper of- fices, telephone exchange, two express offices, hotels, mercantile establishments, opera house, two drug stores, grain elevator, two garages, livery and sales stable, one of the finest public school buildings, size of the town considered, in the state, a splendid water works system, fire department, and an electric light and power plant that will compare favorably with any town on the Mississippi. The power is obtained from the Keokuk dam, and, Dallas City being located on Lake Cooper, the current is trans-

mitted direct. The streets and public buildings and a great many private residences are illum- inated with electricity, to say nothing of the power it furnishes to run the machinery of manufacturing plants that heretofore were oper- ated by steam. Electric power solves the fuel question from an economic standpoint and never has it been brought home more forcibly than now when coal is so scarce that it is hard to get even when consumers are willing to pay the high prices the commodity commands.

Dallas City is a church town and the different denominations are well organized, which keeps society on a plane of right living and encourages that true christian fellowship which does so much good in the world. There are five houses of worship, namely : Christian, Methodist Epis- copal, Congregational, Free Methodist and Cath- olic. The various church members seem to vie with each other in employing pastors who are not only eloquent expounders of the word but also enthusiastic workers.

Dallas City is now under the commission form of government, the officials consisting of mayor, four commissioners, city attorney and city treas- urer.

The immediate site of Dallas City is on a range of hills which rise in gentle slope from which the Mississippi flows nearly due west for ten miles and northeast for about five miles. From elevated points on the surrounding hills the great river can be seen in its windings for many miles, presenting a wonderful and beauti- ful picture.

Among the ventures that have met with fail- ure none have a more dismal record to spread on the pages of the state's history than those who from time to time attempted to establish newspapers in Dallas City, which has so to speak been a graveyard in which lie entombed many fond hopes and lofty aspirations. In the ab- sence of any data we are unable to state just how many newspapers have come and gone since the first one that was established before the war. As near as can be ascertained a paper called the Star of Dallas, Frank Ashton, proprie- tor and editor, was in existence at the outbreak of the war in 1861, and our informant, J. D. But- ler, present editor and publisher of the Review, tells us, to the best of his recollection, the Star appeared a couple of years prior to the beginning of the rebellion. Frank Ashton joined J. K. Allen's company and the Star went down, never

1075

HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY

to rise again. Ashton died in the service. He was a first cousin of Thomas Richart, grand- father of our fellow citizen Frank Richart. The writer remembers the name of three newspapers that have in the past forty-four years joined the silent majority. The Dallas City Advocate started in the fall of 1875 and suspended in the early summer of 1876; the next came the Dallas City News, Ed Thomas, publisher. The News lived a number of years, but finally ceased to exist. After an interval, we know not how long, the late L. S. Reid started the Review, which is now conducted by J. D. Butler. It was estab- lished in 1887 and has been published continu- ously ever since.

Some time in the early part of 1896 a paper called the Times, West & Woods, proprietors, was launched on the troubled sea of journalism and after a somewhat tempestuous voyage was driven on the rocks and left to its fate.

Three years later The Enterprise made its appearance, the initial number being November 4, 1899. From November, 1899, to April, 1901, The Enterprise was published by C. H. Kistner and Dr. A. E. Shappell. About that time Dr. Shappell disposed of his interests to Mr. Kistner, after which the concern was incorporated and has since been known as The Dallas Printing Co. Of the original incorporators C. H. Kistner and L. M. Loomis are still stockholders, the lat- ter president and the former vice-president and business manager of the company. (Note. A. McAndrews was engaged in May, 1901, as editor and is still connected with the office in that capacity. He became initiated into the mys- teries of adjusting the movable alphabet in November, 1869, and since that time has worked at the case as straight compositor, was local editor of the Fort Madison Plain Dealer for two years, and for twenty-four years was employed on the Fort Madison Democrat, part of the time as reporter, collector and solicitor; he also did considerable work on the case in the days before machines were put in to take the place of setting type by hand. He is sixty-eight years old and his experience in newspaper work covers a period of nearly forty-nine years.)

DURHAM TOWNSHIP

THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWNSHIP-EARLY SET- TLERS-LATER SETTLERS-PIONEER EVENTS-VIL- LAGE OF DISCO-DURHAM CENTER-POPULATION- TOWNSHIP OFFICERS IN 1920.

BOUNDARIES

Durham Township is bounded on the north by Henderson County, on the east by LaHarpe Township, on the south by Pilot Grove Town- ship, and on the west by Dallas Township. While some of it is rolling and well drained it is prin- cipally prairie. A small branch of Crooked Creek on the east and a portion of Camp Creek in the northwest corner were bordered with heavy timber in the early days.

EARLY SETTLERS

Among those who first settled in Durham Township may be mentioned the following : Thomas Dixon, Sr., George Weaver, John Gil- more and several brothers, Jacob Mendenhall, William Logan, Ferdinand Brent and son, James and William Meeker, and Jesse Avise, all of whom came during 1835 and 1836. Others, who came a little later, were the Boyse family, the Manifolds, Loftons, Harknesses, Wilsons, James Mills, I. Wimp and William McGuire.

LATER SETTLERS

Some who came to the township at a later date, but many years ago, are as follows : O. S. Avery, David Byler, Daniel Warren, Stephen Eckles, Daniel Farren, William K. Gittings, Jason K. Jacobs, J. B. McMillen, James Mills, Sarah Morris, V. P. Parmelee, Reynolds and Rob-

inson, Josiah Ritchey, James Rhea, Robert Thomas, G. W. Randruff, Linus L. Wilcox and possibly others.

PIONEER EVENTS

The first school-house built of hewed logs was put up in 1837 and was called Camp Creek school-house. The first school in it was taught by Mary Jane Jacobs, who later went to the State of Washington. Rev. William Johnson of the Episcopal church preached the first sermon and Rev. Pool of the Methodist church preached not long afterward. The first post-office was called Camp Creek and John L. Avise was the first postmaster. After the death of Mr. Avise his widow was continued in the office, and when she later married Lyman Harkness he was ap- pointed postmaster. Still later the post-office was removed to Durham Corners and J. H. McGuire was postmaster.

VILLAGE OF DISCO

This village is situated on the corners of sec- tions 1 and 12 of Durham and sections 6 and 7 of LaHarpe townships. It was platted in Feb- ruary, 1876, by John Shutwell. It is a station on the Toledo, Peoria & Western railroad and has a population of about one hundred. Its business consists of small stores and shops suitable to accommodate the surrounding farming com- munity.

DURHAM CENTER

Durham Center is situated in section 16 not far from the center of the township. It is an inland settlement or little community. It has less than one hundred population.

POPULATION

The United States census reports for four enumeration periods gave the following figures as to the population of this sub-division of Han- cock County : in 1890, 840 ; in 1900, 826 ; in 1910, 787; and in 1920, 694.

BOUNDARIES

Fountain Green Township is bounded on the north by LaHarpe Township, on the east by McDonough County, on the south by Hancock Township, and on the west by Pilot Grove Town- ship. The township takes its name from the vil- lage so called. In its natural state, it was wood- land and prairie. Several branches of Crooked Creek water this territory, and its soil is very fertile.

EARLY SETTLERS

The earliest settlers were as follows: Ute Perkins, who came here in 1826; John Brewer, who came here in 1827; and following him were Abram, James and Mordecai Lincoln, Benjamin Mudd, John Day, Andrew and Pittillo Perkins and William Saylors, who arrived about 1830. In 1831 William Duff, Jabez L. Beebe and Jonathan Prior arrived, and Stephen G. Ferris in 1832. After this came Amos Hobart in 1833; William Alton in 1834; Jary White in 1835; Martin Hop- kins in 1836; Col. Thomas Geddes in 1836; and David Allton in 1836. Other very early settlers were : William Robertson, Eben Wiggins, James Gray, Edward Farley, William Shipley, George W. Howard, John Secrist, Jolın Massingall, Nich- olas Jarvis, Leney Bloyd, Edward Shipley, Ira Gridley, Samuel Prentice, Evan Martin, Jolın Shelton, Jacob Coffman, Jacob Clark, Thomas Whitaker, Samuel Brown, Daniel Prentiss, An- son Hobart. Others who came somewhat later were: Richard Brandon, John Bullock, William

Hotchkiss, Joel Howd, David Leach, K. N. Leach, James Mc- Connell, Robert McConnell, Thomas Miller, L. J. Rhea, Charles C. Tyler, Rev. Thomas M. Walker, Jary White, Hickerson Wright.

PIONEER EVENTS

The first child born in the township was Thomas J. Brewer in 1829, a son of John Brewer. The second child was James Day, son of John Day, who was born in August, 1831; while the third child was Alexander Saylors, son of Wil- liam Saylors, born in 1831.

Pittillo Perkins died September 15, 1834, and this was the first death in the township; the second was that of William Duff who died in 1837.

The first regular school teacher was Judge John M. Ferris and the first school-house was built in 1836.

POPULATION FOR FOUR DECADES

In 1890 the population of Fountain Green Township was 1,095; in 1900, 1,038; in 1910, 985; and in 1920, 857.

VILLAGES-FOUNTAIN GREEN AND WEBSTER

These constitute the trading hamlets of the township. The former was laid out in 1835 by Jabez A. Beebe and Stephen G. Ferris, two early settlers of this section of the county. A post-office was established at this point, which is in sections 28 and 33, with Jabez A. Beebe as first postmaster. The place now has a population of about 150. The railway facilities for this town- ship are at the village of La Crosse, in Pilot Grove Township, on the Toledo, Peoria & West- ern Railroad.

The village of Webster was platted in 1840 by William Wightman, and was a Mormon town. It was first known by the name of Ramus. On March 3, 1843, the Illinois Legislature pased an act incorporating the town of Macedonia, in Hancock County, the full corporate name being "Trustees of the Town of Macedonia." It was provided that the corporate powers should be vested in seven (7) trustees to be elected an- nually, and that the town of Ramus, from and after the passage of the incorporating act should

be known and designated as the town of Mace- donia.

Thus this community, which was called Ramus at first, became in 1843 the town of Macedonia.

Prior to the exodus of the Mormons this town had grown to a population of 600 and promised to become quite a center of population and trade. But with the pasage of the Mormons, the town decreased in population. Its name was after- wards changed to Webster. On March 27, 1869, an act was passed by the General Assembly, as follows: "That the act incorporating the town of Macedonia (now Webster), in the County of Hancock, and State of Illinois, and all acts amendatory thereof, be, and the same are, here- by repealed." This is declared to be a public act.

Today Webster is a quiet little village of less than one hundred inhabitants. It is situated about one mile to the west of Fountain Green in section 32 of the township.

One of the earliest pioneers of this part of Hancock County was Daniel Prentiss, a Ver- monter, who was still living in the eighties. He was the son of a Revolutionary soldier and was born in 1799; came to Fountain Green and set- tled in 1833; was engaged in merchandising in Carthage, this county, about 1835, and under the wild scheme of internal improvements had a con- tract with the State for grading a portion of the Warsaw & Peoria Railroad, in 1838-39. "Pren- tiss' Shanty," on the line of said road, was for years a well-known landmark.

HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY

EARLY EVENTS - POPULATION - TOWNSHIP OF- FICERS 1920.

BOUNDARIES

Hancock Township is bounded on the north by Fountain Green Township, on the east by Mc- Donough County, on the south by St. Marys Township, and on the west by Carthage Town- ship; and is the middle township on the eastern line of Hancock county. Originally, this tract was heavily timbered and its surface is much broken, but some beautiful prairie land and some of the most valuable farms in the county are lo- cated in this territory. Crooked Creek is the chief water-course and, particularly in this town- ship, demonstrates in its wandering course why it was given its name.

EARLY SETTLERS

Major Williams, the Yetters, Wrights, Spang- lers, Longs, Anthony Duffy, Dr. William Booz, James G. Smith, T. B. McCubbin, A. G. Botts, J. Lenix, T. Callihan, and Lewis Rhea consti- tuted the first settlers, but soon others found their way to the township.

IMPORTANT EARLY EVENTS

Some of the earliest mills were located on Crooked Creek, but since water power has in the main been supplanted by steam and electricity these old mills have been torn down to make way for other buildings, more in accordance with the progressive spirit of the times. In the southern part of Hancock Township is what is known as Black Hawk Ridge, where, according to tradi- tion, old Black Hawk, the noted Sioux Indian Chief, used to make his headquarters. At least this was evidently a large Indian village, as is shown by the mounds filled with all sorts of In- dian implements of warfare and domestic ar- ticles.

POPULATION

In 1890 the United States census reports gave this township a population of 804; in 1900, 926; in 1910, 769; and in 1920, 668.

For many years there has been a postoffice at Joetta in this township; also a general store generally known as Weakley's Store.

GENERAL REMARKS

Hancock Township, while it has neither rail- road nor village within its borders, is well set- tled and highly cultivated by a thrifty class of farmers who have forged to the front and are, generally speaking, in good financial circum- stances. Scores of beautiful farm homes are scattered here and there over the face of this goodly township.

BOUNDARIES

Harmony Township is bounded on the north by Carthage Township, on the east by St. Mary's Township, on the south by Chili Township, and on the west by Bear Creek Township. The sur- face is rich flat prairie, alternating with fine rolling land that is suitable for the raising of corn and other grains. Bronson creek and a tributary of Crooked creek water this township.

EARLY SETTLERS

Among those who came to this locality at an early day may be named the following: George M. Browning, Truman Hecox, E. S. Cannon, S. B. Walton, B. F. Tucker, George Langford, Samuel Ramsey, Isaac S. Burner, Samuel Dick- enson, Larkin Scott, William Pike, Mr. Peebler, Mr. Wedding, Mr. Collison, James Major, and

Calkins, George W. Capron, M. L. Clark, W. O. Couchman, Samuel R. Fleming, John E. Gerdes, Hiram Geren, Truman Hecox, Eden Hopkins, William James, Rev. Thomas Jones, Wiley Jones, Robert M.

Vance, William C. Walton and Simeon B. Wal- ton.

POPULATION

For four United States census periods the population has been given as follows: 1890, 1,011; in 1900, 1,006; in 1910, 938; and in 1920, 924, including the village of Bentley. The prox- imity of towns and villages throughout this county, as in counties generally now-adays, has been the cause of slow, if indeed any, growth in the numerous platted places. Especially is this true in these modern days of free rural mail delivery and automobiles, when farmers can go to larger cities for much of their heavy trading without consuming the time it took in earlier days.

PROSPEROUS FARMING

To be the possessor of a "quarter section" or even an "eighty" of land within the fertile farm- ing section Harmony Township is to be in- deed an independent person. The few remaining pioneers relate much concerning the transfor- mation of these broad prairies of the fifties and sixties into the well-tilled acres of these days, when the general rule is to see well-built farm- houses and barns on every farm one passes in crossing this and adjoining townships. The land under the touch of painstaking agriculturists has come to be very valuable and yields its bountiful crop of all that is grown in the prairie soil of any country. Many of the older farmers have died. Others have moved to some convenient town or city and are there spending the remain- der of their years in comfort and ease. The two villages of this township are Bentley and Denver -see below.

VILLAGE OF BENTLEY

Lying ten miles west from St. Mary's and five miles in a southeasterly direction from Carthage is Bentley, a small place in section 8. It was established in 1863 and platted in August of that year by John Sutton, Jr., after whom it was first named, but later the name was changed to Bent- ley. It is just south of the Historic Meadows. Some of the early postmasters included T. J. Bates, A. R. Robertson and J. A. James.

At Bentley there are a few business houses, carrying small staple stocks of goods, for the convenience of the community.

VILLAGE OF DENVER

The largest village within the bounds of Har- mony Township is Denver, which place was platted in January, 1864, by S. C. Seybold and G. W. Bush. Here, at one time, established by the Government, was the "Rough and Ready" post-office. Denver is nine miles south and east of Carthage, and ten miles west of Plymouth. It now has a population of about two hundred. It is not large enough for incorporation as a village under the State laws. Its people very greatly desire its incorporation.

The Churches of Denver at this time are the Christian and Congregational. The first Chris- tian church in Harmony Township, known as Mt. Pleasant, was organized in 1837, in section 13, and this congregation still exists, having a fine country church building. A church build- ing was erected at Denver in 1873, which served until the present magnificent edifice was built in 1917. A Methodist church was organized at Bentley in 1864, and the church there was built in 1875. The Baptists organized a church in the township in 1873.

Denver supports a Masonic Lodge, an Eastern Star, a Modern Woodman Camp and an Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows.

The public school building of Denver is a large one-story structure, built of wood, well ar- ranged, and situated on the main street.
