The farm houses, just previous to the organizing of Cass County, were mostly built of logs, and, in many cases, innocent of glass. The floors were made of puncheon or split logs, as saw mills were few and far between. The fire-places were made of logs filled up with clay dug from beneath the floors. A temporary wall would be built about two feet inside the log wall ; the space then filled with earth, and wetted, was pounded or rammed down solid. The inner wall was then taken away and a fire built inside, which baked the jams like brick. Then this was surmounted with a stick and clay chimney, a pole was run across to hang kettles on ; and the chink" s. between the logs of the house were filled up with sticks, clay, and., chopped straw. The doors and roof of the house were made of split boards, and frequently not a nail or any iron was used in the whole house. The roof-boards were kept in their places by logs weighing them down ; the doors, held together by wooden pins, hung on wooden hinges, and latched with wooden latches. The houses generally had but one room and two doors, but no window. Usually,

one door of the house was left open, no matter how cold the weather was, to admit light ; and rarely both doors were closed, except when the family were about to retire to rest. So habituated were people to open doors that that custom prevailed even after the introduction of glass into the cabins, for windows. It is related, that on a very cold day, an eastern man who was visiting a friend at his log cabin, proposed to close the door to make the house warmer. The pro- prietor expressed his surprise at the proposition, but did not object to try it as an experiment. After the door had been shut a few minutes, he seemed much pleased with the result, and said, " Well, I declare ! I believe it does make a difference."
A rural poet has truthfully stated that-
" In every country village where Ten chimneys' smoke perfume the air, Contiguous to a steeple. Great gentle-folks are found. a score, Who can't associate any more With common country people."
So even in our early days we had some aristocrats. Occasionally, a man was found that built his house of hewn logs, and had sawn planks for his floor, and perhaps a glass window. And then some ambitious neighbor must over top him, and the wonderful palatial double-log-house, with a porch between, appeared. By the youngsters this seemed extravagant and useless ; but the surprise of every- body was Dr. Chandler's large, well-finished frame house. Even beds were more accommodating then than now, and would hold many more occupants. There was one, usually, in each of two corners in every log cabin, and under each of these was a trundle-bed which pulled out at night; and then there was bedding to spare in most houses, and, when friends called and stayed all night, which they usually did, a field-bed was made that accommodated all. When meal time came, a large amount of good wholesome provender would be supplied, considering the few cooking utensils that were used. Even in well-to-do families the articles for cooking consisted of a Dutch oven, in which first the bread and then the meat was cooked, a coffee-pot, and a kettle to cook vegetables, when they had any. Wheat bread was scarce, and corn bread was universally used. When bread was spoken of without a prefix, corn bread was meant ; any other kind being designated as wheat bread or rye bread. I recollect a circumstance which will illustrate how corn bread was respected. When Major Miller kept the Western Hotel in Jacksonville, iu 1836,
23
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASS COUNTY.
there was a grocery under it called " Our House." A Yankee, who had been stopping with the Major, called into the grocery to get his bitters, and outraged the thirsty customers at the bar by an offensive allusion to the corn bread he had had set before him at the hotel table, stating among other remarks, that corn bread was only fit for hogs to eat. At this an irritable native took offence ; he peeled off his coat, and squared his brawny shoulders before the astonished Yankee, and said, " See yer, stranger, I don't know you who you are, and I don't keer a durn, nuther ; but I'll have you understand that the man that makes fun of corn bread makes fun of the principal part of my living." It was with considerable difficulty that a fuss was prevented, and then only by the Yankee apologising and treating the crowd to the drinks.
While speaking of Yankees, I might just as well say, that this part of Morgan County was settled principally by citizens from south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers ; and a strong prejudice was felt against people from New England, who were all denominated " Yankees ;" and, to be just, candor compels me to admit that the representatives of the descendants of the pilgrim fathers, who peddled clocks and tinware, and notions, and essences, and the like, through this part of the country at that time, were not calculated in every instance to inspire any high respect for them as a class.
Fitz Greene Helleck, the poet, writes of them as
" Apostates, who are meddling
With merchandise, pounds, shillings, pence, and peddling ; Or. wandering through southern countries, teaching The A, B. C. from Webster's spelling-book ; Gallant and godly, making love, and preaching. And gaining, by what they call " hook and crook."
And what the moralists call overreaching, A decent living. The Virginians look
Upon them with as favorable eyes As Gabriel on the devil in paradise."
In fact, a mean trick was always expected from a Yankee ; while there is reason to believe that, really, there was sometimes just as mean things done by persons from other portions of the nation. To illustrate : Nearly forty years ago, I attended a wolf hunt on Indian Creek. There were about a hundred of us, on horseback, up on a rise in the timber, waiting to hear from the hounds, and passing the time in conversation. The subject of discussion, a not unusual one, was the Yankees, and each man had a story to tell of some Yankee trick. Finally, old Uncle Bob Martin, who had but one eye, but was,
24
HISTORICAL SKETCII OF CASS COUNTY.
nevertheless, quite an oracle in such matters, had his say, in this wise : " Well, gentlemen, I'll tell yer what it is. I've seed a heap 'er Yankees in my day, and I know all about 'em. I know'em like a book, inside and out, and I tell yer what it is, gentlemen, all the Yankees don't come from New England nuther, not by a durn sight. And the meanest Yankee I ever seed, gentlemen, was a Kanetucky Yankee."
I said corn bread was the principal article of diet then. But there were various kinds of corn bread. That most in use was corn dodger. This was simply made of corn meal, hot water and a little salt, stirred together to the consistency of dough ; then a double handful was rounded, flatted, and placed in a hot Dutch oven, surrounded with glowing embers. An oven would hold three or four of these, and they were cooked so quickly that a woman could keep quite a large number of hungry men in business. Then there was the pumpkin bread, made by mixing pumpkins and meal, and the pone. This last was considered suitable for kings, and I must tell you how it was made. It was thus : Take as much corn meal as is wanted for use ; sift it ; put it in an iron kettle and pour on it boiling water ; stir it till it becomes well mixed and quite thin ; this being right, let it remain in the same vessel till morning, and if kept warm it will be well fermented (which is necessary) ; then put it into a hot Dutch oven, it being heated before the dough is put in it ; apply good live embers on the lid of the oven as well as under it, being careful not to burn it. These were sometimes baked in hot ashes and embers, without an oven. These were called ash-pones.
Butter was not common, except in the spring and summer ; but large quantities of fat bacon and hams were used instead, which were kept the year round, in the smoke houses, one of which every family had. Potatoes were unknown for many years ; and when they were introduced, they were at first very unpopular. People that ate them were stigmatized as Irish. Deer, prairie-chickens and other game, as well as domestic fowls, were very plenty and much used for food.
The principal clothing worn by the men was of Kentucky jeans. made into pants and hunting shirts. Under-clothing was hardly ever worn, even in winter, and overcoats, never ; and yet men seemed as warm and comfortable then as they do now, with under-garments and overcoats. The ladies dressed principally in linsey of their own weaving. I well recollect when calico was first generally worn. Patterns with large flowery figures were preferred ; and although our prairies were covered all over in profusion with the most beautiful
25
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASS COUNTY.
of flowers, like unto a garden of the gods, yet, I must admit, the prettiest flowers to my delighted eyes were those printed upon calico. And I might admit further, that they are not altogether displeasing to me even now. At the huskings, weddings, meetings, and merry- makings, the girls looked as pretty then in their home-made suits as they do now, though arrayed in all the gaud and glory of the milliner.
The principal occasions of great public gatherings were political discussions ; for, either fortunately or unfortunately (and which it is is a great moral question), there never was a man hung within the limits of this county at the hands of justice, so the public have never been called together out of curiosity on that account. Among our public speakers at that time were : Lincoln, Hardin, Baker, Lam- born, Richardson, and more latterly, Yates and Douglas, besides many from a distance. Besides these occasions, we had preaching in the schoolhouses and barns and groves. Often have some of us, now present, listened to Reddick Horn, Cyrus Wright, Peter Cart- wright, " Old Man Hammaker," of North Prairie, and many others. How many of the old settlers here recollect Old Father Doyle, who used to shout " power" until the far-off woods rang, and the hills sent back the echo. Oh! those public meetings in the woods ; how grand they were ! Bryant sings of them and says-
" The groves were God's first temples. Ah! why should we in the world's riper years neglect God's ancient sanctuaries, and adore Only among the crowd, and under roofs That our frail hands have raised."
There used to be a famous camp meeting ground for many years at " Uncle " William Holmes', north-east of Virginia, and people attended it from twenty miles around. When this county was first formed, there were but few farms on North Prairie, except those skirting the edge of the timber ; and a man could cross it any where on horseback, led only by Indian trails, or the points of timber. For instance, a man could start from the Jacksonville road at Yaples or Peterfish's farm, south of where Virginia now is, and go straight to Holmes' camp ground, a distance of about ten miles, northeast, and not pass a fence.
In 1835, the Beardstown and Sangamon Canal Company were incorporated, and there was considerable interest taken in that work.
In 1836, on the 16th day of June, Dr. H. H. Hall laid out and platted the town of Virginia, he having entered the land upon which it stands a short time previously.

IIISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASS COUNTY.
About this time there became a gradually growing feeling of dissatisfaction in this, the northern part of Morgan County, with the management of county affairs at Jacksonville. It seemed to the people here, that Morgan County was ruled by Jacksonville, and that that village was ruled by a clique, or ring, as it would now be called. This feeling became more conspicuous, as at that time the removal of the State capital was being worked up. It was provided in the Constitution of 1818, while the capital was at Kaskaskia, that the Legislature should locate a new town, which should be the capital for twenty years. This the Legislature did, and named the place Vandalia. The constitutional limit of that location was fast approaching, and a new seat of government was to be selected.
A statute was passed February 5, 1833, providing, that after the expiration of the time prescribed by the constitution for the seat of government remaining at Vandalia, the people should vote for one of the following named places for the permanent seat of government, to-wit: "The geographical centre of the State," Jacksonville, Springfield, Alton, Vandalia, and Peoria, and the point receiving the highest number of votes should forever remain the seat of govern- ment. The southern part of the State was at that time most thickly settled, and it soon became evident, that, unless the people of Central Illinois united upon a town in their portion of the State, Vandalia or Alton would gain it. The people in the northern portion of the State were willing to sacrifice Peoria, but the people of Central Illinois were divided between Springfield and Jacksonville. There was a growing feeling, however, in favor of Springfield, as being the most available ; and a convention was called by the central and northern counties, to meet at Rushville, on the 7th day of April, 1834, to unite on one point to support for the State capital. Jacksonville was opposed to this, and favored the deferring the removal of the seat of government to some future time, hoping to gain strength by this line of policy. Consequently, Jacksonville refused to take part in the Rushville convention, while the northern part of the county met at Beardstown, decided to take part in the convention, and elected Archibald Job and Thomas Beard to represent them there, which they afterwards did. This occasioned a discussion between the newspaper of Jacksonville, conducted by Josiah Lam- born, and the "Chronicle," on the part of Beardstown, by Francis Arenz.
27
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASS COUNTY.
To show the state of this feeling as early as 1834, the following is from the " Chronicle " of March 25th, of that year :
"In the 'Chronicle,' No. 35, we published the preamble and resolutions adopted at a public meeting held in Beardstown on the 20th of February last. In one of the resolutions, Archibald Job and Thomas Beard were appointed to attend as delegates at Rushville, on the first Monday of April next, to represent the wishes of the people in the northern part of Morgan County.
"In our last number we published the proceedings of a meeting held in Jacksonville on the 3d inst. One of the resolutions adopted at that meeting, declares, that ' from the neutral position of Morgan County in relation to locality and interest, it is inexpedient, at this time, for citizens of our county to send delegates to the convention proposed to be held on the first Monday of April next.'
" We also published a letter from J. Lamborn, Esq., to the editor of this paper, explanatory of the views and feelings of those attending the Jacksonville meeting towards their fellow citizens of the northern part of Morgan County, who composed the Beardstown meeting ; but as this letter was not part of the proceedings at Jacksonville, and the resolutions adopted are contrary and in opposition to the friendly feelings privately expressed by Mr. Lam- born, we have to take the sentiments as expressed by the meeting.
"The meeting at Beardstown was composed of freemen. They acted for themselves, and appointed two delegates to represent their wishes at the proposed convention, leaving four delegates to be chosen in other parts of Morgan County. If our fellow citizens at Jacksonville, and in the southern and western parts of the county, did not choose to send delegates, no objection or dissatisfaction would have been entertained ; but a meeting composed of about one hundred and fifty individuals at Jacksonville and vicinity (being acquainted with the sentiments expressed here), have assumed to indicate in their resolution that it is inexpedient, at this time, for the citizens of our county to send delegates. To this decree the citizens of the north will not submit. We unhesitatingly say, that two delegates will attend and represent their wishes. We believe the time has gone by when a few leaders of Jacksonville controlled the votes of Morgan County ; and we would advise those who have influence in and about Jacksonville, to use it with discretion. The people north of Indian Creek, and we doubt not in other parts of the county, understand their own interest, and will act accordingly."
28
HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CASS COUNTY.
The convention was held at Rushville at the appointed time, and such united action was taken as eventuated in the passage of a statute on the 3d day of February, 1837, which permanently located the seat of government at Springfield, and Archibald Job, A. G. Henry and Thomas Hunghan were appointed commissioners to superintend the erection of the State House.
At the very same session which removed the capital, on the 3d day of March, 1837, a bill was passed that the people of Morgan County should, on the third Monday of April of that year, vote for and against the division of that county, on the line running through the middle of townships seventeen, north, and in case the vote favored it, all north of that line to constitute a new county, to be called the county of Cass ; that the county seat should be at Beards- town, until the people should permanently locate the county seat by election ; and the school fund should be divided according to the number of the townships between the two counties.
The election was had; the feeling between the northern and southern sides of the county was such that the election was favor- able to division, and the northern townships immediately called an election for officers with which to organize the new county of Cass.
There were then but three voting precincts in this part of Morgan County, which was about being formed into a new county ; they were : Beardstown, Virginia and Richmond, and the following are the names of every man that voted at that election, with the names of the precincts they voted in :
