During the Civil War, no township in Knox County responded to the Nation's call more nobly or with greater readiness than Cedar, al- ways keeping in the field more than her share of the county's quota. No draft was ever made in Cedar Township. Official statistics show that over two hundred and twenty-five volunteers enlisted, some of them descendants of heroes who had proved their loyalty to their country and its flag in earlier struggles. Of these old settlers sleeping in the cemeteries, there are seventeen soldiers of the War of 1812, four of the early Indian wars and two of the Mexican War. Of the soldiers of the Civil War, forty- nine are buried within the township limits. Their living comrades, members of Post 58, Grand Army of the Republic, at Abingdon, an- nually, on May 30, preserve the memory of their devotion and self-sacrifice, their toils and trl- umphs, ever keeping green the recollection of the patriotic dead.

The official figures relative to the population of Cedar Township are as follows: 1840, six hundred and sixteen; 1860, eighteen hundred and twenty-two; 1870, two thousand, one hun- dred and fifty-three; 1880, nineteen hundred and seventy-six; 1890, fifteen hundred and seventy- four.

WILLIAM H. REYNOLDS.

William H. Reynolds was born in Park County, Indiana, December 23, 1839. His pa- rents were Samuel and Ann Jane (Reed) Rey- nolds of English and Scotch descent. Samuel Reynolds was the son of William Reynolds, a native of England, who came to America he- fore the Revolutionary War. The family set- tled on a farm in South Carolina, where Wil- liam Reynolds died when his son Samuel. was ten years of age. The widow emigrated to Kentucky with her nine children, William, Samuel, John, Robert, Nancy, Rebecca, Elsie, Jane, and Saran Ann. They all reached ma- turity, and with the exception of John, mar- ried. Some of the children went to Park County, Indiana, and were followed by their mother, who died near Indianapolis. Samuel was married at the age of twenty-two years, and settled on a timber farm of one hundred and sixty acres which he cleared. He after- wards sold his farm, and in 1836, moved near Berwick, Warren County, Illinois, and bought a farm of one hundred and sixty acres which is now owned by his son James. He accumulated a large property, and at one time owned two thousand acres of land in Warren County. He had few educational advantages, but was a man of clear head and remarkably strong muscular development. His wife, Ann Jane Reed, a daughter of John Reed, was of Scotch descent, and was born near Louisville, Kentucky. He died at the homestead at the age of eighty- eight, and his wife died in Abingdon, Knox County, at the age of eighty-four. They had twelve children, nine of whom reached matur- ity: Katherine B., William H., John R., James A., Jemima, Jennie S., Marion, Sarah, and Louise.

William H. Reynolds was brought up on the home farm, and at the age of twenty-six ran in debt for a farm of three hundred and sixty acres in Warren County, which he afterwards sold, and bought the farm of one thousand acres in Orange Township, near Knoxville, which he now owns. He owns, in addition, six hundred acres of land in Knox Township, and a model stock farm of four hundred acres in Norton County, Kansas. He was educated in the common schools and at Abingdon College. He also studied law, and practiced his profes- sion four or five years, but soon turned his at- tention to the more congenial pursuit of farm- ing. He came to Knox County in 1857, and lived for many years on his farm near Knox- ville. In 1883, he moved to Galesburg, and in 1892, bought a farm near Abingdon.

June 24, 1855, Mr. Reynolds was married to Martha M. Bundy in Orange Township. She died February 1, 1873, leaving three children: Nellie J., who married Mr. Peterson; William M .; and Minnie, wife of James Rogers. Mr. Reynolds' second marriage occurred November 25, 1873, at Knoxville, to Margaret Wallace, who is a native of Scotland. Four children have been born to them: Nellie H., wife of A. E. Werts; Frank W .; Harry Earnest; and Ma- bel E.

Captain Reynolds has a notable military rec- ord. In July, 1861, he assisted in raising a company, and secured most of the volunteers from among his friends and acquaintances in Knox and Warren counties. The company thus formed was called Company D, of the Seventh Illinois Cavalry, and was mustered into service at Springfield October 13, 1861. Mr. Reynolds, who had enlisted as a private, was, at the time, elected First Lieutenant, and was promoted to the rank of Captain at the battle of Corinth, Mississippi. The Seventh rendered valuable service during the war. It was under Pope at Island No. 10, and New Madrid; ascended the Tennessee River in 1862; led at Corinth and in the pursuit of May 30; was the first to march into Tuscumbia, Alabama; withstood the en- tire rebel force at Iuka, and in September, October, and November, made a series of move- ments in which they marched eight hundred miles, destroying railroads and bridges. May 2, they entered Baton Rouge, after traveling another eight hundred miles, capturing one thousand prisoners, and assisting at the cap- ture of Fort Hudson. Altogether, the Seventh marched about five thousand miles, and cap- tured three thousand prisoners. At one time an order was given by General Grant to Gen- eral Rosecrans, to have all horses branded and turned over to the United States government. Captain Reynolds succeeded in preventing the breaking of their special contract, and the men of the Seventh rode their horses unbranded throughout the war. It was the Seventh that led and chased General Jeff Thompson sixteen miles through the swamps, into a rebel fort, and that met at terrific pace a charging, over- whelming force, checked their advance, and extricated themselves, after seven hours of fighting.

In the Fall of 1864, Captain Reynolds acted for several months in the capacity of special detective at Memphis, under General Wash- burn, a position requiring the utmost nerve and courage. It is needless to say that he ful- filled the expectations of those who had hon- ored him with their confidence. He also won at all times the trust and unswerving devotion of the men who served under him.

In politics, Captain Reynolds is independ- ent, and has served as Supervisor, School Direc- tor, and Road Commissioner.

Frederick Stegall, son of Frederick and Sarah Stegall, was born in Pike County, Ohio, Sep- tember 5, 1827. His father, who had been a sol- dier in the War of 1812, moved to Illinois and settled in Knox County in the Fall of 1836, when young Frederick was a boy of nine.
