BIOGRAPHICAL

CHAPTER XLVI

THE PART OF BIOGRAPHY IN GENERAL HISTORY- CITIZENS 'OF HANCOCK COUNTY AND OUTLINES OF PERSONAL HISTORY-PERSONAL. SKETCHES AR- RANGED IN ENCYCLOPEDIC ORDER.

The verdict of mankind has awarded to the Muse of History the highest place among the Classic Nine. The extent of her office, however, appears to be, by many minds, but imperfectly understood. The task of the historian is compre- hensive and exacting. True history reaches be- yond the doings of court or camp, beyond the issue of battles or the effects of treaties, and re- cords the trials and the triumphs, the failures and the successes of the men who make history. It is but an imperfect conception of the philoso- phy of events that fails to accord to portraiture and biography its rightful position as a part -- and no unimportant part-of historic narrative. Behind and beneath tlie activities of outward life the motive power lies out of sight, just as the furnace fires that work the piston and keep the ponderous screw revolving down in the dark- ness of the hold. So, the impulsive power which shapes the course of communities may be found in the molding influences which form its citi- zens.

It is no mere idle curiosity that prompts men to wish to learn the private, as well as the pub- lic, lives of their fellows. Rather is it true that such desire tends to prove universal brother- hood ; and the interest in personality and biog- raphy is not confined to men of any particular caste or vocation.

The list of those, to whose lot it falls to play a conspicuous part in the great drama of life, is comparatively short ; yet communities are made up of individuals, and the aggregate of achieve- ments-no less than the sum total of human hap- piness-is made up of the deeds of those men and women whose primary aim, through life, is faithfully to perform the duty that comes near- est to hand. Individual influences upon human affairs will be considered potent or insignificant, according to the standpoint from which it is viewed. To him who, standing upon the sea- shore, notes the ebb and flow of the tides and listens to the sullen roar of the waves as they break upon the beach in seething foam, seeming- ly chafing at their limitations, the ocean appears

so vast as to need no tributaries. Yet, without the smallest rill that helps to swell the "Father of Waters," the mighty torrent of the Missis- sippi would be lessened, and the beneficent in- fluence of the Gulf Stream diminished. Count- less streams, currents and counter currents -- sometimes mingling, sometimes counteracting each other-collectively combine to give motion to the accumulated mass of waters. So is it- and so must it ever be-in the ocean of human action, which is formed by the blending and re- pulsion of currents of thought, of influence and of life, yet more numerous and more tortuous than those which form the "fountains of the deep." The acts and characters of men, like the several faces that compose a composite picture, are wrought together into a compact or hetero- geneous whole. History is condensed biography ; "Biography is History teaching by example."

It is both interesting and instructive to rise above the generalization of history and trace, in the personality and careers of the men from whom it sprang, the principles and influences, the impulses and ambitions, the labors, strug- gles and triumphs that engross their lives.

Here are recorded the careers and achieve- ments of pioneers who, "when the fullness of time had come," came from widely separated sources, some from beyond the sea, impelled by divers motives, little conscious of the import of their acts, and but dimly anticipating the har- vest which would spring from the sowing. They built their primitive homes, toiling for a present subsistence while laying the foundations of pri- vate fortunes and future advancement.

Most of these have passed away, but not be- fore they behield a development of business and population surpassing the wildest dreams of fancy or expectation. A few yet remain whose years have passed the allotted three-score and ten, and who love to recount, among the cher- ished memories of their lives, their reminis- cences of early days.

[The following items of personal and family history, having been arranged in encyclopedic (or alphabetical) order as to names of the individual subjects, no special index to this part of the work will be found necessary.]

ABBOTT, Charles, now deceased, was at one time one of the most important men of Ferris, and he was well known throughout Hancock County. He was born in Rock Creek Township, July 4, 1863, a son of Charles and Nancy (Jones) Abbott, early settlers of Hancock County, where

HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY

the father was engaged in farming and teaching school for many years, but later the family located at Ferris, where the father dealt in agricultural implements. He died in January, 1884, and the mother died March 10, 1904. Their children were eleven in number, and Charles was the fifth in order of birth.

Charles Abbott was reared in his native town- ship and remained with his parents until his marriage, which occurred November 27, 1884, when he was united with Malinda Hem, born in Prairie Township, July 19, 1862, a daughter of Daniel and Eve (Manden) Hem, early set- tlers of Hancock County, having come here from Germany, making the trip across the ocean in a sailing vessel that was on the wa- ter sixty-two days. Mrs. Hem died March 27, 1910, and Mr. Hem died in February, 1881.

After his marriage, Mr. Abbott located in Ferris, and rented land which he farmed until 1901, when he bought 147 acres of land in the eastern part of Ferris, and erected a fine new two-story frame house of eight rooms, a large barn and other outbuildings, including a cement block garage. In addition to this farm, he rented 160 acres and did general farming on all the land. He and George Riel formed a partnership for buying and selling stock, and continued together for several years, and then Emory Ward bought Mr. Riel's interest and this association continued until the death of Mr. Abbott, January 19, 1918.

Mr. and Mrs. Abbott had the following chil- dren born to them : Nellie, born April 24, 1889, is Mrs. Henry Whewell, of Ferris; May, who was born May 25, 1892, is postmistress of Ferris; Eva Jane, who was born November 20, 1895, is Mrs. Everett Peyton, of Ferris, Mr. Peyton be- ing of the Ferris Lumber Company. Mr. Abbott belonged to the Christian Church, of which he was a deacon and trustee. In politics he was a Democrat, and he served as assessor for many years; was on the school board; was township clerk; was city clerk and mayor of Ferris for several terms, and was always on the town board, doing more, perhaps, than any other man to advance the prosperity of Ferris, where his interests were centered. He belonged to the Hancock County Mutual Association, and his daughter, Miss May, belongs to the Tri-County Mutual Association. In addition to his other interests, Mr. Abbott was a director of the State Bank of Ferris and of the Ferris Elevator Com- pany, and in all of his operations showed un- usual business acumen and grasp of details, which made his connection with a concern or movement an assurance of success.

ADAMS, George G., whose activities as a farmer and shipper of stock entitle him to a place in a work of the high character of this history, is a man of excellent business ability. He is a well known figure in the life of La Harpe as well as throughout Hancock County. Mr. Adams was born at Bushnell, Ill., January 6, 1871. one of the six children of his parents, David J. and Martha ( Jeffries) Adams. David

J. Adams was born in Pennsylvania where he learned the trade of a painter and followed it until his death which occurred in 1880. His widow survives and makes her home at Good Hope, Ill.

George G. Adams attended the schools of Good Hope, Ill., and his first work upon leaving school was that of farming. Being so success- ful in this line, he has devoted himself to agri- cultural industries and has become an extensive shipper of stock, which business averages about 100 carloads annually. He owns thirty-five acres adjoining La Harpe. For three years Mr. Adams was engaged in handling grain at La Harpe with George Coulson, but that as- sociation was discontinued in 1913, when he established his stock shipping connections.

In 1898 Mr. Adams was married to Miss Lillia Duncan. a daughter of William H. Dun- can, and they have two living children : Gordon, born in August, 1901, lives at home ; and Harold, who was born December 9, 1914. His twin sister Helen, died December 13, 1916. Mr. Adams is independent in his political views, preferring to cast his vote for the man he believes best suited for the office, rather than to be bound by party ties. He and his wife belong to the Christian Church. A man of fine ability, he has made good use of his talents, and deserves the confidence he inspires.

AGNEW, Albert B., one of the leading con- tractors of this part of Illinois, has long been associated with the development of Hamilton and of Montebello Township. He was born in Ohio, April 8, 1854, a son of Daniel W. and Mary Ann (Ray) Agnew. Daniel W. Agnew was born in 1814 and died in 1893, while his wife, born in 1817, died in 1891. Albert B. Agnew had two brothers and five sisters, name- ly : Edward S., who lives at Hamilton; Addie B., who is Mrs. Fletcher Johnson, a widow, of Indianapolis, Ind .; Mary Jane, who lives at Galesburg, Ill .; Anna Ray, who is Mrs. J. L. Miller lives at West Point, Ill .; and Emma Bell, who is Mrs. Charles Grubb, of Galesburg, Ill. One brother, John, and a sister, Kate, are deceased. The parents moved from Ohio to Mis- souri in 1856, and came to Hancock County in 1857, journeying in wagons. They bought a tract of land, on which Oakwood now stands, and lived there a few years, and the father worked at his trade as a carpenter.

Albert B. Agnew learned to be a carpenter but has been in the contracting business for many years, having built the greater part of residential Hamilton, as well as business blocks. These structures include the Peoples Bank, the First National Bank, Bethel Presbyterian Church, many of the stone buildings on the boulevard ; Gordon's business block ; and the fine residences of C. P. Dadent and Morris Dadent, R. R. Wallace, James Elder, H. M. Elder, Frank H. Elder, and many others. At first Mr. Agnew was in business with his father under the firm name of Agnew & Son. After the death of the

Julia & Pack

HISTORY OF HANCOCK COUNTY

senior member, Mr. Agnew took his brother Edward S. into partnership with him, and they worked together for a few years, during which time they put up the buildings for Armour & Company fertilizing plant. Mr. Agnew was one of the charter members of and helped to organ- ize the Hamilton Building and Loan Association, established in 1885, later becoming a director. This association has had a very prosperous history, has had few litigations, and is now in a very flourishing condition.

On January 5, 1881, Mr. Agnew was married to Estella Robe, a daughter of Simon and Eliza (Hull) Robe, and their only child. She was reared by her maternal grandparents, Justus and Harriet Hull. Her paternal grandparents were natives of Ohio. The family belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which Mrs. Agnew is an active worker. Mr. Agnew belongs to the Modern Woodmen of America and takes an active interest in the promotion of Chau- tauqua work. In his political convictions he is independent of party lines.

ALESHIRE, Horace C., postmaster of Plym- outh, and one of the leading insurance agents of Hancock County, is one of the leading busi- ness men of his section. He is the youngest of the ten children of his parents, Douglas and Matilda (Beaver) Aleshire, and was born in Hancock County, Ill., January 28, 1876. Doug- las Aleshire was born in Virginia, October 18, 1835, and came to Hancock County when seven- teen years old. His death occurred in July, 1916, he having been a farmer all his life. The mother died in February, 1914.

Horace C. Aleshire attended the common schools and the high school of Hancock County, and the Macomb Normal school. His initial experience in the business world was as a fire insurance agent, and he continues in this line of business, although since March 1, 1915, he has been postmaster of Plymouth. Assisting him in the post office are Elmer C. Rigsbee and Miss Jean Wier. Politically Mr. Aleshire is a Democrat.

In 1904 Mr. Aleshire was married to Miss Dora B. Buck, a daughter of George W. Buck. Mr. and Mrs. Aleshire have two children, name- ly : James E. and Willa Pauline. A faithful and efficient man, Mr. Aleshire is giving uni- versal satisfaction as postmaster, and the affairs of his office are in prime condition.

ALESHIRE, William F., who is one of the rep- resentative insurance men of Plymouth, is also owner of considerable farm land in Hancock County, and he is one who stands high in pub- lic opinion. He was born in St. Mary's Town- ship, Hancock County, June 11, 1872, one of the ten children of his parents, Douglas and Matilda (Beaver) Aleshire. Douglas Aleshire was an extensive farmer of Hancock County, but he was born in Virginia, coming hence to this county in the early fifties, and buying land in St. Mary's Township. Until his retirement

from the farm, he continued to reside in St. Mary's Township and was engaged in farming and stockraising upon an extensive scale. After leaving the farm he located at Plymouth, and continued to write forcefully for various news- papers, as had been his custom during all of his mature years. His death occurred in June, 1915. The mother died in 1914.

William F. Aleshire attended the common and the high school of Plymouth, and later took a complete course at Eureka College. Growing up on his father's homestead, he was engaged in agricultural work from an early age, and he also became interested in writing insurance to- gether with his four brothers, they representing the American Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., covering eight counties, and having under their supervision twenty-five sub-agents. In addition to his insurance business, Mr. Aleshire conducts two farms of 350 acres, one being located in Augusta Township and the other in St. Mary's Township.

On November 13, 1904, Mr. Aleshire was united in marriage with Miss Mary E. Mc- Wherter, a daughter of John McWherter, and they have two children, namely: Ruth C. and Esther. Mrs. Aleshire is one of three children, namely : Oscar M., John E., and Mary E., Mrs. Aleshire. For a number of years Mr. Aleshire has given his support to the cause of temper- ance, and votes the Prohibition ticket, carrying out his principles in his everyday life. He made two tours in old countries, visiting Europe, Asia and Africa, and on the last one Mrs. Aleshire accompanied him. When they had viewed the pyramids in Egypt, they started on the trip back home.

ALLPHIN, Calvin G., who rents and oper- ates 220 acres of as valuable land as can be found in Hancock County, is located on section 3. Augusta Township. He was born in Schuyler County, Ill., July 29. 1880, a son of G. W. and Atlanta (Wilson) Allphin, farming people, who are now both deceased.

On December 10, 1908, Calvin G. Allphin was married at Quincy, Ill., to Myrtle M. Young, born in Hancock County, a daughter of W. D. Young. After his marriage Mr. Allphin began farming on his own account, and now is very successfully engaged as a general farmer and stockraiser, specializing on thoroughbred Duroc- Jersey hogs, of which he raises a large number for the market. and also Plymouth Rock chick- ens. His political convictions make him a Re- publican, and he is steadfast in his loyalty to the party. Fraternally he belongs to the Modern Woodmen of America. The religious element in the community finds him a supporter, al- though he has not definitely connected himself with any denomination. It is such depend- able men as Mr. Allphin who make up the great backbone of American agricultural life, and to him and those like him is due unlimited credit for the vast food supplies upon which not only the people of this country, but those of other nations, if not the world, have largely to depend.
