After three years' active service he was captured at Plymouth, North Carolina, at the close of a fight lasting four days and three nights, and was confined in Andersonville and at other prisons, in South Carolina. He was exchanged at the close of the war. He fought in thirty-six battles, the more important being: Hatteras Inlet, Newbern, Roanoke Island, Tarboro, Whitehall, and the second battle of Newbern. After the war, he was a fireman on the New York Central Rail- road, and engineer on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad. He went to Califor- nia and returned to Keokuk, Iowa, where he was in the bridge department of the St. Louis and Northwestern Railroad.

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, in Iowa. He was foreman in building the east wing of the Hospital for the Insane at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.

AVERY, ROBERT H .; Inventor, and Presi- dent of the Avery Planter Company, was born at Galesburg on January 16, 1840. He was the son of George Avery and Sarah Phelps, his father having been one of the founders of Galesburg and of Knox College. He was raised upon a farm, but at the outbreak of the Civil War felt himself impelled to offer his service to his country. He enlisted as a private in the Seventy-seventh Regiment of Illinois Volun- teers, and although never wounded, was one of those unfortunates who underwent the horrors

of the prison pen at Andersonville. For eight months he was a prisoner within the Confed- erate lines, half of that time being spent In that living grave, the very memory of which is a blot upon the civilization of the country.

It was while confined there, however, that Mr. Avery, from sheer lack of mental occupa- tion, first directed his thought to those im- provements in the implements of farm work, the perfecting of which have made his name famous. On receiving his discharge, at the end of the war, he returned home and resumed work upon the farm, at the same time working out the ideas which had come to him while languishing in the Georgia stockade. He evolved first a cultivator and next a stalk- cutter. For the manufacture of these machines he entered into a contract with Hon. George W. Brown, under the terms of which he was to receive a small royalty upon their sale.

His means were small, and in the hope of im- proving his fortunes he resolved to emigrate to Kansas, where he entered a soldier's claim to land, and at the same time perfected a "tree claim." Having broken the prairie, and being desirous of raising a crop of corn, he found himself hampered by the want of a corn plant- er. His inventive genius came to his rescue, and with the aid of such tools as he had at hand-a saw, a plane and some augurs-he con- structed his first machine of this description. It was rude, but it did its work, and embodied several of the principles which he utilized in his later invention.

Returning to Galesburg, he entered into part- nership with his brother, under the firm name of R. H. and C. N. Avery, for the manufacture of agricultural implements under his patents. For ten years the brothers conducted the busi- ness at Galesburg, and in the Summer of 1882 the Avery Planter Company was incorporated, with a capital stock of $200,000, Robert H. Avery becoming President. A large plant was erected at Peoria, and the manufactory was re- moved to that point. 'The business has greatly prospered, the Avery agricultural implements ranking among the best on the market and the demand for them steadily increasing.

Mr. Avery remained at the head of the com- pany until his death, which occurred Septem- ber, 1892. His demise was indirectly the re- sult of the hardships undergone at Anderson- ville, the seeds of disease there implanted in his system having never been eradicated.

He was a man of rare, and thoroughly orig- inal, inventive genius; strong in conviction, yet modest and unassuming; kindly, generous and just. It was said of him, after his death, by one who knew him well, that "to have known him was an education, while it was an honor to have been called his friend."

BROWN, GEORGE W .; original inventor of the corn planter; was born in Clifton Park, Saratoga County, New York, October 29, 1815. His parents, Valentine and Bethany (Spink) Brown, were New Englanders, who moved to New York when that State was comparatively new. They lived on a farm, where George W. passed his first fourteen years. After reaching that age he went to live with an older brother, who taught him the carpenter's trade. He found employment on the Erie Canal during Its construction, as well as on the line of the Schenectady and Albany Railroad, of which he was for a time Roadmaster. On Sep- tember 1, 1835, he married Maria T. Ter- pening. In 1836 he brought his bride of a year West in a wagon, the journey occupying six weeks. They reached Tylerville, in War- ren County, in July, 1836. The team was ex- changed for eighty acres of land, and then his mechanical trade began to serve him in good stead. From 1836 to 1850 he built many houses for his neighbors. But he was naturally an inventor, and during these years devised a cul- tivator, churn and implements of value to farmers, although he secured a patent only upon his cultivator. In 1848 he began to per- fect his primary idea of a corn planter, complet-

Ing the first practical machine in 1851. He ob- tained his first patent August 2, 1853, and con- structed twelve planters that same year. The following year he placed one hundred upon the market, and in 1855, three hundred. In the last mentioned year he moved to Galesburg. Prior to 1866 his receipts from the sale of his devices had been exceedingly small. In that year he borrowed $25,000 and built three thousand machines. From that time for-

ward, his business was a success. The

present plant was erected i̱n 1875. In 1880 the business was Incorporated under the name of George W. Brown and Company, with a capital of $300,000, Mr. Brown becoming President. His patents were infringed upon and in a series of sults, ending only in the United States Supreme Court, he conclusively established his right to be called the inventor of the corn planter. As a result he has received many hundred thousand dollars in royalties. Although he acquired great wealth, Mr. Brown remained an unpretentious man until his death. He was essentially self-made, yet he was one of the best types of the class to which that much-abused term is so often ap- plied. On reaching Illinois he had but twenty- eight dollars in cash, beside his team and "prairie schooner." Hls energy, genius and sound judgment won his battle. He was gen- erous almost to a fault and sincerely beloved by his employes, two hundred of whom were on his pay-roll for thirty years. In 1835 he and his wife became members of the Methodist Church, in which he took a very active part until his death. He was a repub- lican in politles, and was Mayor of Galesburg in 1876. He died June 2, 1895, leaving three chil- dren, James E. Brown, Mrs. Jennie S. Cowan and Mrs. Elizabeth A. Perrin. His wife dled December 28, 1891.

Young James finally, however, found himself well enough advanced to matriculate at Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, from which institution he received his diploma prior to the settling of Galesburg. He mar- ried, March 10, 1836, Miss Harriet Nevil Ferris, a daughter of Silvanus Ferris, one of the finan- cial backers of the colony which settled Gales- burg and founded Knox College.
