long double log cabin, using wooden pins in- stead of nails, and for thirty years was both farmer and preacher.


The parents of Mr. Cadwell had nine chil- dren, Leander A. being the youngest, and all of them becoming prominent in the history of the county. John C. Caldwell died December 24, 1874, and his wife, Louisa Caldwell, August 17, 1900, aged ninety-two years. Leander A. was reared to an agricultural life, was educated in the Franklin schools, and for a time attended the Wesleyan College at Bloomington, Ill. Later he engaged in the cattle business- his capital being energy, ability and a team of horses-and now owns a fine farm of 320 acres, a portion of which was part of his father's homestead. He soon abandoned the cattle business for general farming, but finally, in March, 1898, removed to Franklin, where he lives in comparative retirement, the farm being still conducted under his supervision and man- agement. He has been a member of the Village Board for four years, and, on April 18, 1905, was elected Mayor. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., and in politics, a Democrat.


On March 3, 1898, Leander A. Caldwell was married to Mrs. Emma E. Strawn, daughter of John Carrington, of Jacksonville. By a former marriage Mr. Caldwell has two daughters, both well-educated and accomplished ladies, and graduates in music. Their names are: Lil- lian, wife of J. W. Paton, of East St. Louis, Ill .. and Darzy May, wife of B. L. Virgin, of the same city. The children of Mrs. Caldwell by her first marriage are Amy E. and Enola Strawn, attending the High School in Franklin.


CAMPBELL, James H., a worthy, highly re- spected and substantial farmer, who pursues his calling eight miles west of Jacksonville, Mor- gan County, Ill., was born February 15, 1837, three miles southwest of Lynnville, Ill. At that period, the farm on which his birth took place was in Morgan County, but is now in Scott County. On this place, his father, Samuel F. Campbell, located in 1834-his birth occurring in Lincoln County, Ky., February 29, 1808. James Campbell, the grandfather, was a farmer by occupation. He migrated to Tennessee when Samuel F. was an infant, and lived in that State until about the year 1832, when he moved to Morgan County, Ill., and entered a tract of Gov-


ernment land. He married Margaret Moore, a native of Kentucky, and their children were as follows: John B., Joseph, Givens, Samuel, Wil- liam L., and Green B., all of whom are deceased; Orpha, Sally, Hannah, widow of Wilson W. Hawk, of Winchester, Ill. (but now deceased) ; and Eliza J., widow of William Rice, of San Jose, Cal. Grandfather Campbell followed farm- ing all his life. He and his wife were members of the first Christian Church in Lynnville, Ill., which was organized in 1838, and he was one of the principal men connected with the erection of the edifice. The original building now stands on the public square and is called Irving Hall. His wife, in particular, was very active in church work. James Campbell died when six- ty-seven years old, and his widow passed away at the age of eighty-eight years.


Samuel F. Campbell received his mental training in the subscription schools. When but a boy, he was apprenticed to learn the tail- or's trade. On account of dissatisfaction on the part of his employer, he worked overtime to redeem his unexpired limit, and, when free, en- gaged in business for himself in Maury County, Tenn. In the fall of 1833, he married Nancy T. Moore, a native of that State. They lived in Tennessee until 1834, when they located in Morgan County, Ill., and bought a tract of land lying southwest of Lynnville, which was mostly timber. This Mr. Campbell cleared up and lived there until 1852. In that year the family moved to what is now Cass County, where they spent one year. Mr. Campbell bought 360 acres of land in Sections 30 and 31, Township 15, Range 11, on the State Road, eight miles west of Jacksonville, Ill., which was partly improved. On this place the family lived until the father's death. Samuel F. Campbell and his wife were the parents of ten children, namely: William M., of Kansas; James H., of Morgan County; Clinton S., and John B., of Hancock County, Ill., Lewis, who also lives in Kansas; Eliza- beth A., wife of H. Dickinson, of Oregon; Sarah J., wife of John Mitchell, who lives in Sanga- mon County, Ill., and Eliza E., wife of Archie B. Mckinney, of Morgan County, a sketch of whose life appears elsewhere in this volume. The father of this family died when he was sev- enty-four years old, and the mother pased away at the age of eighty-six years. After coming to Illinois the former abandoned the tailor's

trade, and devoted his attention to farming. He was a member of the Christian Church of Lynnville.


During his hoyhood James H. Campbell re- ceived his mental training in the district schools and remained on the home farm until his marriage. Hc and his brother had bought a part of the homestead, on which he now resides. Later, Mr. Campbell purchased his hrother's interest, and has made all the modern improve- ments on the place. Hc now owns 193 acres of land, nearly all of which is under cultivation. He carries on general farming and stock-raising breeding Poland-China hogs, Shorthorn cattle, and Cotswold sheep. He also raises Light Brahma chickens.


On October 14, 1860, Mr. Camphell was united in marriage with Emeline A. Funk, a native of Scott County. Ill., and they commenced house- keeping in that county, where they lived until her death, a year after her marriage. Mr. Camp- bell then returned to the old home, where he remained until 1869. In that year he married Sarah Ellen Rice, a native of Morgan County, and a daughter of Elder E. G. and Mary A. Rice, prominent people in that section, and members of the Christian Church, of which Mr. Campbell was a leading member. The follow- ing children resulted from this union, namely: Alice Cary, who lives with her parents; Mary E., widow of Arthur A. Wilson; Albert J., and Charles S., both of Howell County, Mo .; and Edith and Nancy, who are on the home farm.


In politics Mr. Camphell is a Democrat, and religiously is a member of the Christian Church, which he joined in 1861, and in which he is an Elder. taking a deep and active inter- est in church work. He is a man of strict prob- ity. of pure and blameless life, and is every- where regarded as a model farmer and an ex- cmplary citizen.


CANNON, William Simpson, the efficient man- ager of the W. S. Cannon Commission Company, of Jacksonville, Morgan County, Ill., agents for Swift & Co., of Chicago, was born on a farm near Marietta, Fulton County, Ill., August 31, 1866. He is a son of John and Margaret Na- haley (Nichols) Cannon. Both of his grand- fathers were Methodist ministers. John Cannon, the father, was born in England about the year 1832, and his mother, in the State of New York, about the year 1834. The former was brought


to the United States at the age of four years, the family settling at Niagara Falls, where John Cannon remained until he was married. About the year 1865 he located in Jacksonville, where he was engaged In the hutchering and meat business until 1890. When he removed to Gainesville, Ga., where he conducted a fruit farm until his death in 1904. He was always a consistent member of the Methodist Church, being a Sunday-school Superintendent for a number of years before his death. His wife died in 1884.


In boyhood William S. Cannon received his mental training in the district schools, and then learned the butcher's trade with his father in Jacksonville. He remained with his father un- til he was eighteen years of age, when he went to work for John Leck. As an infant of eight inonths his parents had brought him from his birthplace in Fulton County, Ill., to Niagara Falls, N. Y., and after living there four years had spent three years on a farm in Kansas, ar- riving in Jacksonville abont the year 1874, when he was eight years old; and there he has lived ever since. He remained in the employ- ment of John Leck for elghteen months, and then spent three months in Minnesota. Return- ing to Jacksonville, he worked for J. J. Schafer for three years, leaving him to go into the meat


business for himself. Two years afterward he sold his meat market, and in 1894 became the local manager for Swift & Co., continuing in that capacity for six years. He then resigned the position to organize the Jacksonville Meat Company, of which he was manager for eight months. At the end of that period the com- pany took charge of the Swift & Co. business on a commission basis, and conducts it under the name of the W. S. Cannon Commission Com- pany. In addition to meat and the side prod- ucts, the company is doing an extensive busi- ness in produce, poultry, butter and eggs. Un- der Mr. Cannon's able and skillful management. the concern is enjoying a period of great pros- perity, and substantial gains have been made in all departments. The proprietor is acknowl- edged to be one of the most energetic, progres- sive and successful business men in Jackson- ville.


On November 21, 1888, Mr. Cannon was united in marriage with Elizabeth Mellen, of Jackson- ville, a daughter of John and Ellen Mellen. Eight children have resulted from this union.

CARRIEL, Henry Frost, M. D., for twenty-three years Superintendent of the Illinois Central Hospital for the Insane, Jacksonville, now liv- ing in retirement in that city, was born at Charlestown, N. H., August 20, 1830, the son of Hiram and Permelia (Frost) Carriel. His fa- ther died in 1839, leaving a wife and four young children, of whom Henry F. was the eldest. Four years later the home was broken up by the death of his mother, and Henry F. found a home with an uncle and aunt (the latter a sis- ter of his father), who were most kind and gen- erous in their treatment of him. He attended school in a little red school house near his home, and during his youth and early man- hood taught school during the winter months, the summer seasons being devoted to work upon farm. While finishing his classical studies at the Wesleyan Seminary at Springfield, Vt., he determined upon a career in medicine. Dr. Knight, with whom he lived, suggested that he go to Woodstock, Vt., and attend medical lec- tures, which advice he followed. He afterward studied with Dr. Knight at Springfield, Vt., and subsequently attended a medical school at Pitts- field, Mass. While there he met Mr. Blakesley, an old school friend, who prevailed upon him to take his place as apothecary at the insane asylum located at Hartford, Conn. After oc- cupying this position four months he returned to Pittsfield to continue his medical studies. Later he returned to Hartford to resume his former position as apothecary, and in the fall accepted the position of Assistant Physician in the Hartford Retreat, then under the manage- ment of Dr. John S. Butler. Earlyin the following summer he became connected with the Asylum for the Insane at Flushing, N. Y., where he was Assistant Physician for three months. After these valuable experiences in study and prac- tice, he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, where he completed his course and in 1857 obtained the degree of Doctor of Medicine. In February before his graduation he received the tender of a position as Physician at the Bloomingdale Asylum, but declined the offer. A short time afterward Dr. Horace A. Buttolph, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Asylum, at Trenton, requested him


to become Assistant Physician at that institu- tion, a post which he accepted in March, 1857. There he remained until July, 1870, when he removed to Jacksonville to become Superinten- dent of the Illinois Central Hospital for the Insane, a post for which he was highly recom- mended by Dr. Buttolph, and which he filled with marked ability until 1893.


When Dr. Carriel came to the Illinois institu- tion-which was founded in 1847, and at that time was the only hospital for the insane in the State-he found the 450 inmates surrounded by conditions which were far from being of the best. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to the improvement of the general health of the pa- tients was the lack of a proper system of ven- tilation. There were many other features sus- ceptible of great improvement, and these con- ditions Dr. Carriel immediately set out to im- prove. In 1871 he erected the boiler house and laundry, at an expense of $20,000. In 1873 he built the carpenter shop. By 1877 he found it necessary to increase the capacity of the insti- tution still further; and, with the consent of the State Legislature, erected the wings to the main building, thereby providing accommoda- tions for 150 additional patients, equally di- vided as to sex. In 1878 he erected the domestic building, at an expense of $8,000. In 1879 a floral conservatory was built, and a room which had been used as an ironing room was con- verted into an amusement hall, a feature en- tirely lacking up to that time. In 1881 the conveniences were still further enhanced by the construction of the refrigeration building. The greatest development, so far as accommo- dations for the rapidly increasing list of pa- tients were concerned, was the erection of the two capacious annexes to the main structure of the institution. The State Legislature having made an appropriation of $135,000 for the pur- pose, in 1884 Dr. Carriel began the erection of the North Annex, which accommodates 300 pa- tients. With an eye single to the benefit of the institution and the welfare of the State, he suc- ceeded in building this annex for $20,000 less than the amount appropriated for the purpose; and this balance, which was reappropriated for the purpose, he employed in the improvement of the water supply. The South Annex, which also accommodates 300 patients, and the amuse- ment hall, erected in 1889, with all the furnish- ings, including the pipe organ, were paid for


-

out of the appropriation of $120,000, intended for the construction of the annex alone, leaving a balance of about $2,500, which was returned to the State Treasury. In the interim (1889) Dr. Carriel built the barn and stables. The only important work of construction done since his retirement has been the erection of the infirmary in 1901, an undertaking which he recommended in his last annual report. Dr. Carriel's resignation from the important post which he had filled with distinguished ability for a period of twenty-three years, was prompted by his anticipation of the injection of the "spoils system" into the management of those State institutions which ought to be, and usu- ally are, outside the pale of politics.


In 1863 Dr. Carriel was united in marriage with Mary Catherine, daughter of Dr. Horace A. Buttolph, who died in 1873. They were the parents of the following children: Dr. H. B. Carriel, present Superintendent of the Illinois Central Hospital for the Insane; Horace A., with the Edison Electric Company at Los An- geles, Cal .; and Frank B., a merchant at St. Jo- seph, Mo. In 1875 Dr. Carriel married Mary L. Turner, daughter of Prot. Jonathan B. Tur- ner, a sketch of whose lite will be found else- where in this work. The children of this mar- riage are: Howard T., a physician located at Redstone, Colo .; Fred Clifford, a civil engineer residing in Chicago; Charles Arthur, a student in Illinois College; and Ella K., the wife of William Doss Roberts.


In reviewing the life work of Dr. Carriel, it is not easy to comprehend how so much labor and such weighty responsibilities could be borne by one man. The work of a lifetime appears to have been crowded into less than a quarter of a century. It was not long after his assump- tion of the duties of Superintendent of the hos- pital at Jacksonville that he realized that he had a gigantic task before him. But he loved his work, and that made his progress less diffi- cult. To mental endowments of the highest order, heightened and broadened by liberal cul- ture, he added such persistence of application and well-ordered method of procedure as to ele- vate, purely through association with him, the moral and intellectual status of those suscept- ible personalities who came within the radins of his influence. As an alienist Dr. Carriel won an international reputation, the institution in


his charge for nearly a quarter of a century be- ing recognized as a model.


CARRIEL, Henry Buttolpli, M. D., Superintend- ent of the Illinois Central Hospital for the In- sane, Jacksonville, was born in Trenton, N. J., June 21, 1863, and is a son of Henry Frost and Mary Catherine ( Buttolph) Carriel. de- tailed sketch of his father's life will be found elsewhere in this work.) In 1870 he was brought to Jacksonville by his parents and at- tended the public schools of that city and Illi- nois College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1885. Upon the completion of his classical course he entered the Chicago Medical College (now the medical department of Northwestern University), from which he was graduated in 1888, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. After serving as his father's assistant in the insane hospital for a few months, he acted for one year as interne in Mercy Hospital, Chicago. The following year was devoted to study in the principal insane hospitals of Europe, his research in this direc- tion taking him to Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Lon- don, Dublin and other cities. Upon his return to America he engaged in private practice in Chicago, where he was located for about seven years. On April 19, 1897, he became First As- sistant Physician to the Central Hospital at Jacksonville, then under the superintendency of Dr. Winslow, remaining in that capacity un- til December 1, 1901, when he was appointed Acting Superintendent of the hospital at Bar- tonville, Ill. On July 1, 1902. he was appointed Superintendent of the institution at Jackson- ville, and has since continuously occupied that post.


On December 1, 1891, Dr. Carriel was united in marriage with Ada Margaret Smith, daughter of J. B. Smith, and a niece of Judge Abner Smith, of Chicago. They are the parents of one daughter, Isabel.


Though a comparatively young man. Dr. Car- riel has established a high reputation in his special department of medical science. The years which he has devoted to research and private practice in one of the great cities of the world-a city prolific in material which appeals to a progressive and studions special- ist-have rendered him peculiarly well qualified for the great undertaking which lies before

him. It has been said of him that he has be- come an expert in the treatment of nervous and ยท mental diseases largely through inheritance, his father and grandfather having made that de- partment of medical science the work of their lives.


CARTER, John .- The life and work of John Carter are a part of the yesterday of Jackson- ville and Morgan County, yet so faithfully did he perform his share towards subduing the wil- derness, and so substantially was he later con- nected with the business life of the town, that he is assured of permanent remembrance, not- withstanding the fact that seventeen years have elapsed since his death, March 5, 1889. Mr. Carter was the representative of an English family established near Cartersville, Cumber- land County, Va., in the early history of this country, and he himself was born near Fair- mount, Va., October 17, 1821. His father, John Carter, Sr., is supposed to have been born in the South, and in 1825 came overland to Mor- gan County, where he settled on land of pri- meval wilderness, and devoted the balance of his life to farming and stock-raising. He was a man of ability and resource, and represented the law for several terms as Justice of the Peace.


John Carter, Jr., was four years old when he came to Morgan County. As soon as his strength permitted he performed small tasks around the home farm, gradually making his labor of practical use, and devoting his leisure to roaming over the timber lands in search of CARTER, William Chauncy, (deceased), pio- neer farmer of Morgan County, was born in New Canaan, Conn., April 2, 1820, and died in Jacksonville, Ill., December 9, 1896. He was a son of Ebenezer and Eliza (Weed) Carter. His father, also a native of New Canaan, was de- scended from an English immigrant, Samuel Carter, whose father was of the same name. The founder of the family in America was born in London, England, about 1665. Having been enticed from home by the captain of a vessel game which then abounded in large numbers. Eventually he engaged in trading of various kinds, and at the outbreak of the Mexican War volunteered under John J. Hardin, whom he accompanied to Mexico, and there participated in several notable engagements. In 1847 he married, near Lynnville, Morgan County, Nancy Todd, who died a few years later without issue. In 1860 he married Mary H. Carter, eldest daughter of Col. William Gordon, a prominent character in the early days of Morgan County, coming to this country, he came to America and a valorous soldier in the Black Hawk War. Mr. Gordon was a man of liberal education, and after coming to Illinois represented Morgan County one term (1834-1836) in the State Leg- islature. He was the friend of education, and voted for the charter of Illinois College. about 1677, and landed in Boston. In 1668 he settled in Deerfield, Mass., and afterward re- sided in Norwalk, Conn. His son, Samuel, lost his entire family of eight persons at the sacking and burning of Deerfield by the French and Indians from Canada, February 29, 1703 or 1704. Some of the members of the family were massa-


In 1870 Mr. Carter abandoned farming and


moved to Jacksonville, where he purchased an interest in a drug store, and conducted the same in partnership with his brother-in-law, B. F. Beesley, for three years. He then became sole owner of the drug store, to the manage- ment of which he devoted the balance of his life. Thereafter the store was managed by his wife for seven years, when it passed out of the possession of the family. This was the first drug store in Illinois, having been established by David B. Ayers, one of the first settlers in Morgan County. Three children and his wife survive Mr. Carter. Of these, Grace lives with her mother in Jacksonville; Stella is the wife of A. S. Mitchell, of New York City; and John Gordon is an attorney of Chicago.


Many public undertakings in the early days of the county claimed the attention and sup- port of Mr. Carter. He was public spirited in the extreme, and a generous contributor to worthy causes, among them the Christian Church at Lynnville, of which he was an Elder for many years. Politically, he was first a Whig, but after studying the slavery ques- tion from all sides, joined the Republican party. In all his dealings with his fellow-men he was the soul of honor, and as farmer and druggist invested his work with dignity and thorough- ness. His memory was a storehouse of events connected with the early settlement of the county-events which soon will exist only in the pages of history, and in the memories of the descendants of the pathfinders.

cred, and others were taken captive and car- rled to Canada. Ebenezer Carter was the only child who returned to the colony. He was one of the pioneers from Norwalk to Canaan Parish, now New Canaan, Conn. Various representa- tives of the family have become conspicuous in public affairs and in professional life, in sev- eral States of the Union.


At the age of thirteen years William Chauncy Carter was brought by his parents to Illinois, and with them spent the winter of 1833-34 at Winchester. The following spring they located on a farm about four miles south of Jackson- ville, where Ebenezer Carter had purchased a claim of 80 acres of prairie land, and entered some timber land. The elder man spent the rest of his life on this place and died there in May, 1860. After his death his widow removed to Jacksonville, where she died. They reared a family of one son and two daughters-William Chauncy; Mary Elizabeth, who married Dr. James Woodward (now deceased), and who is living in Olathe, Kans., and Hannah Benedict, who married James C. Fairbank. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fairbank are deceased.


Mr. Carter enjoyed exceptional educational advantages for his day. After completing his preparatory course he entered Ilinois College, from which he graduated in 1845. Renting land near his father's farm, he devoted the summer months to its cultivation, and taught school during the winter for four years, two years teaching in his own neighborhood, and two years at Franklin. He then purchased a tract of land situated below his father's farm, and an additional small body of land from his fa- ther, and devoted the remainder of his active life to agriculture. In October, 1873, he re- moved to Jacksonville, retiring from business. During his residence in that city he served for eight years as a member of the City Council, taking an active and unselfish interest in the advancement of various projects for the im- provement of the city. He was generally rc- garded as the father of the present system of pavements in Jacksonville. When the Council had before it an ordinance providing for the construction of a plank pavement from the public square to the Chicago & Alton depot, lie was the only member whose vote was recorded in opposition to the project. He favored the paving of all streets with brick, and offered strong arguments in behalf of such improve-
