He was a prominent and influential farmer, a typical rep- resentative of the better class of German-Amer- icans, and his success reflected upon the edu- cation and training of his children, his son and namesake, Lawrence N., starting out in life much better equipped than the average coun- try youth. Completing his education in the public schools at the age of eighteen, the young man devoted his energies exclusively to farm- ing on the home place until his twenty-fourth year, and then engaged in business with his father-in-law, Ben Yoch, coal operator and owner of the Crescent Nail Mill. For a time Mr. Muren experimented with various kinds of nails, while the older man managed the mill, but finally the plant was sold, and Mr. Muren took charge of the coal mine owned by Mr. Yoch, near Lebanon, which plant produced 600 tons of coal a day. In 1898 he opened a mine at Belleville, of which he now is exclusive owner, and upon the death of Mr. Yoch, in 1898, assumed charge of the Yoch mines until the sons of the family, who now control the property, became of age.

HISTORY OF ST. CLAIR COUNTY.
PERRIN, Frank, was born in Mascoutah Township, St. Clair County, September 10, 1858, a son of Frank and Catharine (Pfeiffer) Perrin. The father was a native of Lorraine, and came to the United States in 1833, set- tling in St. Clair County, where he successfully followed the industry of farming until his death, which occurred in 1885.
Frank received his education in the public schools and at McKendree College, after which he was clerk in a law office for some time; was admitted to the bar in 1880, and opened an office for himself in Mascoutah, where he engaged in the practice of law. He was Super- visor for ten years (Chairman of the Board at one time), and was City Attorney for four- teen years. Seven years ago he located in Belleville, where he has since continued the practice of his profession. He held the office of County Judge for four years, and is now serving his second term as Probate Judge, having been re-elected to that office in No- vember, 1906.
Judge Perrin was married (first) to Amelia Letherberry, who died, leaving three children, namely: Wenone, Benjamin and Albert Em- met. His present wife was formerly Ida Jo- hanna Ludwig, a native of Belleville and a daughter of John Ludwig, an old and honored pioneer of St. Clair County. They are the parents of one child, Leroy Frank. Judge Per- rin is well and favorably known in local fra- ternities and associations, and few men stand higher generally in the estimation of the people of St. Clair County.
PERRIN, (Hon.) J. Nick, lecturer, author and lawyer, Belleville .- In 1833, George and Susan Perrin, from Lorraine, France, landed at New Orleans, and after a sixty-three days' voyage up the Mississippi, on March 20, that year, reached the city of St. Louis, Mo. Soon after- wards, they located in St. Clair County, and then and thus began the connection of the Perrin family with St. Clair County and the great State of which, perhaps, its most distin- guished member was destined to be one of the popular historians. J. Nick Perrin was born in Ridge Prairie, St. Clair County, and received his early education in the common schools near his paternal home. He later obtained his legal education in the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, and, in 1876, was admitted to the bar in both Michigan and in Illinois, when
he entered upon the practice of his profession at Lebanon, in his home county, two years later (1878) removing to Belleville, which has since been his home. Turning his attention to politics, he represented St. Clair County in the Thirty-second General Assembly in Illinois (1880-82). An enthusiastic student of State history, Mr. Perrin has been for many years a prominent member of the Illinois State His- torical Society, and has been a contributor of valuable papers to its publications, and for sev- eral years was a member of the Board of Trus- tees of the State Historical Library by appoint- ment of Governor Altgeld. In 1904 he was the Democratic nominee for Congress and, while he failed of election because of insurmount- able adverse conditions, was very popular with the people, whom he addressed many times during the campaign. He has appeared with much success as a lecturer in different parts of the country, his lecture-"The Man of Illi- nois"-and, indeed, all his lectures, having found great favor with the public. He is most happy in extemporaneous oratory. His "His- tory of Illinois," which was published a year or two ago, has been eagerly read not only in Illinois but in literary centers throughout the country. It shows him to be a historian of deep and original research, an analytical thinker and a writer of great force, perspi- cacity and suggestiveness. Mr. Perrin is a native citizen of whom St. Clair County is justly proud, a patriotic man of broad views, thorough culture, great independence, an up- lifting influence and a deep and abiding sym- pathy with the whole wide world.
